What does cultural diffusion have to do with the American Revolution?
Well, I got it from how the colony system that was set up, it put the english people in North America. Yeah now that i think about it, it doesn't make much sense.
My second choice would probably be B, but I cannot say Im positive on that. My textbook did mention the French, English, and Spanish having different experiences from the "American Experience", but I do not believe that ties in with the question
I like D. The colonists revolted because the British were taxing them so heavily. They thought it was unfair that they had no voice in their taxes. Remember, "Taxation without representation"?
Yes it did mention that in the book! I understand now, thank you very much for the help!
You're very welcome.
Was D correct?!?! I was really confused about this...
It was A.
