Multiple Choice Questions

1.

La Revolución Americana se debió en parte a que los colonos sentían que eran fiscalizados injustamente sin representación en el Parlamento británico. La opción A es incorrecta (querían independencia, no monarquía), B es falso (no fueron invitados a unirse al Parlamento), D es falso (el gobierno británico no quería darles más tierra).

El Acta de Alojamiento (Quartering Act) obligaba a los colonos a proporcionar vivienda y comida a las tropas británicas. El Tea Act se refirió al té, el Stamp Act a sellos, y el Townshend Act a impuestos sobre bienes importados, no alojamiento.

El Boston Tea Party fue la protesta donde se tiró té al puerto de Boston como acto de desafío contra los impuestos. El Boston Massacre fue un enfrentamiento violento, el Stamp Act Congress una reunión contra el Stamp Act, y Lexington y Concord las primeras batallas de la revolución.

Answer:

C. Colonists felt they were being unfairly taxed without representation in the British Parliament.
