Answer:

Escalations began shortly after the end of the French and Indian War —known elsewhere as the Seven Years War in 1763. Here are a few of the pivotal moments that led to the American Revolution. 1. The Stamp Act (March 1765)

Explanation:

The Boston Massacre was a confrontation on March 5, 1770, in which British soldiers shot and killed several people while being harassed by a mob in Boston. The event was heavily publicized by leading Patriots such as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams. British troops had been stationed in the Province of Massachusetts Bay since 1768 in order to support crown-appointed officials and to enforce unpopular Parliamentary legislation. Amid tense relations between the civilians and the soldiers, a mob formed around a British sentry and verbally abused him. He was eventually supported by seven additional soldiers, led by Captain Thomas Preston, who were hit by clubs, stones, and snowballs. Eventually, one soldier fired, prompting the others to fire without an order by Preston. The gunfire instantly killed three people and wounded eight others, two of whom later died of their wounds. The crowd eventually dispersed after Acting Governor Thomas Hutchinson promised an inquiry, but they re-formed the next day, prompting the withdrawal of the troops to Castle Island. Eight soldiers, one officer, and four civilians were arrested and charged with murder, and they were defended by future U.S. President John Adams. Six of the soldiers were acquitted; the other two were convicted of manslaughter and given reduced sentences. The two found guilty of manslaughter were sentenced to branding on their hand. Depictions, reports, and propaganda about the event heightened tensions throughout the Thirteen Colonies, notably the colored engraving produced by Paul Revere.

Boston Tea Party, (December 16, 1773), incident in which 342 chests of tea belonging to the British East India Company were thrown from ships into Boston Harbor by American patriots disguised as Mohawk Indians. The Americans were protesting both a tax on tea (taxation without representation) and the perceived monopoly of the East India Company

Jim Crow laws were forced upon minorities at the end of Reconstruction by what means? the desegregation of all public facilities
VMariaS [17]
The best answers are:
-<span>making it almost impossible for them to vote
-segregating blacks from whites in most states

Jim Crow laws sought to scale back the rights and equality that African Americans were receiving in the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War. To this end, Jim Crow states in the South made it virtually impossible for blacks to vote, and often tampered with black votes. 
They also made segregation a formal written law in the Southern states, outlawing the shared use of almost all facilities, public or private, by black and white people. 

Jim Crow could not, however, repeal the 14th Amendment and did the opposite of desegregating public facilities.  </span>
