Explanation:

1. The Boston Massacre was called a "massacre" because it was used as propaganda by the colonists to stir anti - British sentiment. The event was blown out of proportion to rally support for the revolutionary cause.
2. The Declaration of Independence was signed during the Second Continental Congress in 1776, which declared the 13 American colonies independent from British rule.
3. According to the Declaration of Independence, the three unalienable rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights are considered fundamental and not to be taken away by any government.
4. The Battle of Saratoga is considered the turning - point of the American Revolution because it convinced the French to ally with the Americans, providing crucial military and financial support.
5. The winter at Valley Forge was the cold winter in which the Continental Army lacked supplies and nearly fell apart. It was a difficult period that tested the army's resolve.
6. The Treaty of Paris 1783 ended the American Revolutionary War. It recognized the United States as an independent nation and granted it significant territorial gains, including land west to the Mississippi River.
7. John Paul Jones is considered the founder of the US Navy for his heroic and innovative naval actions during the American Revolution.
8. Women contributed to the American Revolution in various ways such as through espionage, running businesses while men were at war, and participating in protests. They also made supplies like clothing and ammunition.
9. The Quartering Act, British taxation, Stamp Act, and lack of representation were causes of the American Revolution as they angered the colonists and led to growing unrest. The US acquiring land west to the Mississippi River, being recognized as an independent nation, the Treaty of Paris 1783, and the 13 colonies turning into 13 states were effects of the American Revolution.
