C- <span>A letter from an American soldier describing why he supported the American Revolution</span>
Answer:
The Americans, the majority of the colonists, didn't want war but, a peaceful separation and the formation of a new country. Tensions and the British's reluctance towards this idea was which drove the colonists to war.
Explanation:
In 1765, tensions escalated with the Stamp Act which imposed more suffocating British rule over the already fed up colonists. In 1764, Parliament enacted the Sugar Act, an attempt to raise revenue in the colonies through a tax on molasses. Although this tax had been on the books since the 1730s, smuggling and laxity of enforcement had blunted its sting. Now, however, the tax was to be enforced. An outcry arose from those affected, and colonists implemented several effective protest measures that centered around boycotting British goods. Then in 1765, Parliament enacted the Stamp Act, which placed taxes on paper, playing cards, and every legal document created in the colonies. Since this tax affected virtually everyone and extended British taxes to domestically produced and consumed goods, the reaction in the colonies was pervasive. The Stamp Act crisis was the first of many that would occur over the next decade and a half.
Answer:
because they were forced to give up land
Explanation:
In 1838 and 1839, as part of Andrew Jackson's Indian removal policy, the Cherokee nation was forced to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River and to migrate to an area in present-day Oklahoma. The Cherokee people called this journey the "Trail of Tears," because of its devastating effects.
Hamilton was seen as a person who favored more power obtained by the central government. This means he was in favor of things like a national bank, less state rights, and less of an ability for freed slaves to vote (because federalists were also democrats). Jefferson, on the contrary, was an anti-federalist. He feared that excess central power would infringe on the rights of the states, and so to avoid this, he did as much as he could to retain state rights. He also believed central government authority gave more power to the upper class (wealthy whites) than it did to the common man (poor whites, freed slaves).
