Question

Briefly explain how ONE historical event or development in the period 1754 to 1776 that is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpts could be used to support Wood's interpretation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The ONE major difference between Wood’s and Bailyn’s historical interpretations of why the American colonies rebelled against the British is:

According to Wood, the American colonies rebelled and revolted out of reasoned principle. They had the mindset that they were "born heirs of freedom" and that freedom is their everyday life. While, according to Bailyn, the colonies rebelled and revolted due to the rise of conspirators who stood against their freedom.

Explanation:

Wood's and Bailey's historical interpretations of why the American colonies rebelled against the British can be seen from the excerpt. It's evident that their interpretations differ.

Wood revealed that the Americans didn't rebel due to suffering but due to a "reasoned principle". Whereas, Bailey interpreted it to be that the conspirators against the liberty propelled the revolt.
