AHI 3.2 & 3.3 Review

The Sons of Liberty initiated the Boston Tea Party in direct response to

• the removal of British troops from Massachusetts during the French and Indian War

• Parliament’s passage of the Intolerable Acts

• British efforts to protect the East India Company from bankruptcy

• British attacks on colonial troops at Lexington and Concord

Britain attempted to pay for the debt resulting from the Seven Years’ War (French and Indian War) by

• charging immigrants a fee to relocate to North America

• selling ships from its navy to colonial merchants

• sponsoring expeditions to locate valuable resources

• increasing taxes on goods bought and sold in the colonies

Which of the following contributed to the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War (French and Indian War) in North America?

• Efforts by Britain to monopolize tobacco sales in Europe

• Intensified competition between France and Britain over colonies

• Spanish attempts to end British control of the trans-Atlantic slave trade

• Britain’s desire to enact new taxes on Native American nations

That a British and American legislature, for regulating the administration of the general affairs of America, be proposed and established in America, including all the said colonies; within, and under which government, each colony shall retain its present constitution, and powers of regulating and governing its own internal police, in all cases whatsoever.

“That the said government be administered by a President General, to be appointed by the King and a Grand Council, to be chosen by the representatives of the people of the several colonies, in their respective assemblies, once in every three years.”

Joseph Galloway, “A Plan of a Proposed Union Between Great Britain and the Colonies,” proposal debated by the First Continental Congress, 1774

The key concern that Galloway’s plan was designed to address was the

• lack of American representation in the British Parliament

• demand for back pay for veterans of the French and Indian War (Seven Years’ War)

• complaint about high tariffs imposed on colonial merchants for exports to Great Britain

• continuing security threat posed by the French in Canada

What MAJOR role did women play in the revolutionary time period?

• Writing plays in support of independence

• Campaigning for the right to vote as a wartime measure

• Joining militias so that they could fight on the front lines of battle

• Producing goods for the Patriot cause

One direct long-term effect of the Navigation Act was that it

• promoted commercial treaties with Spain and France throughout the 1700s

• contributed to the rise of opposition that ultimately fostered the independence movement

• encouraged colonists in North America to expand trade agreements with American Indians

• led to the imposition of heavy taxes on the North American colonists in the early 1700s

The American colonists’ slogan “No taxation without representation” was a rejection of

• salutary neglect

• mercantilism

• virtual representation

• Republicanism

The Proclamation Line of 1763 was designed to

• limit western expansion of colonial settlement

• establish a defensible boundary between the British and the French colonists along the Appalachian Mountains

• restrict British immigration to the North American colonies

• divide western territories into future royal colonies

The British government attempted to restrict westward settlement following the Seven Years’ War (French and Indian War) in order to

• support the fur trade east of the Appalachian Mountains

• discourage immigration to the North American colonies

• give French settlers time to leave Canada

• minimize conflicts with Native Americans

The argument between Great Britain and its American colonies during the 1760’s and 1770’s over “virtual representation” concerned

• patterns of legislative apportionment in the colonial assemblies

• Parliament’s ability to reflect colonial interests

• the lack of colonial participation in negotiating the Treaty of Paris

• the representation of “free men of color” in colonial assemblies
