what was the effect:

Explanation:

1. For question 3: British troops faced long supply lines across the Atlantic, leading to delays in receiving food, weapons, and reinforcements. They also lacked familiarity with the North American terrain, making guerrilla warfare tactics by colonial forces effective against them.
2. For question 4: Many British people opposed the war because it was costly in both money and lives, and they viewed the conflict as an unnecessary dispute with their fellow British subjects. Some also sympathized with the colonists' grievances over taxation without representation.
3. For question 5: The American victories at Trenton and Princeton boosted colonial morale, convinced more colonists to support the Patriot cause, and helped secure essential supplies and recruits for the Continental Army.
4. For the cause and effect question: African Americans aiding the independence cause led to growing calls for abolition in the Northern states, and some states began enacting gradual emancipation laws after the war. Additionally, their service helped lay groundwork for future civil rights efforts, and the British offered freedom to enslaved people who joined their forces, destabilizing slavery in some regions.

Answer:

1. British troops had long Atlantic supply lines and lacked familiarity with local terrain.
2. The war was costly, and many sympathized with colonists' taxation grievances.
3. Boosted Patriot morale, gained more recruits/supports for the Continental Army.

Cause and Effect: Growing abolition calls in Northern states, gradual emancipation laws post-war, and British offers of freedom to enslaved allies destabilized slavery in some areas.
