B. Spain gained all territory west of the Mississippi River

C. England gained all territory east of the Mississippi River

D. France gained new territory in North America

Answer 1

The correct answer is: D. France gained new territory in North America.

This statement is not a direct effect of the French and Indian War, as France actually lost significant territory as a result of the conflict. The war concluded with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which resulted in France losing almost all of its North American possessions.

Answer 6

Had King George III and parliament decided to avoid conflict with frustrated Americans, which of the following actions would have been the best way to address colonist's concerns?

A. place more British soldiers in American cities

B. raise taxes on common products like tea

C. allow colonies to elect representatives to parliament

D. replace colonial judges and governors with officials chosen by the king

Answer 7

The correct answer is: C. allow colonies to elect representatives to parliament.

Allowing the colonies to elect representatives to Parliament would have addressed one of the colonists' primary concerns—that they were being taxed without representation. This approach could have potentially reduced tensions and conflicts between the colonists and the British government.

Answer 8

Of the following statements, which is NOT true about the Coercive Acts?

A. parliament passed the acts as a punishment for the Boston Tea Party

B. American colonists referred to the acts as Intolerable

C. the acts cancelled the Quartering Act and reduced the number of British soldiers in Boston

D. Great Britain hoped the acts would create division among the colonies

Answer 9

The correct answer is: C. the acts cancelled the Quartering Act and reduced the number of British soldiers in Boston.

This statement is NOT true because the Coercive Acts, also called the Intolerable Acts, actually included a provision that expanded the Quartering Act, allowing British troops to be housed in private homes if necessary. The Coercive Acts were intended to increase British control over the colonies, not to reduce the presence of British soldiers.

Answer 10

After parliament passed the Coercive Acts, the colonies became divided and turned their backs on Boston.

True

False

Answer 11

False.

While the Coercive Acts (or Intolerable Acts) were intended to punish Boston and the Massachusetts colony, they ultimately galvanized colonial unity against British rule. Many other colonies expressed solidarity with Boston and took actions to support it, such as forming the First Continental Congress. Rather than dividing the colonies, the Coercive Acts contributed to a growing sense of shared identity and resistance against British authority.
