212050117	France wa finally able to join the scramble for colonies in the New World as a result of....?	End of religious wars.
212050118	Unlike the English colonies in America, in New France	there were no popularly elected assemblies.
212050119	The one valuable resources in New France was	beavers
212050120	The French wanted to control Louisiana because they	would then control the mouth of the Mississippi.
212050121	French motives in the new World included the desire to	compete with Spain for an empire in America
212050122	The early wars between France and Britain in North America were notable for the...	use of primitive guerrilla warfare
212050123	The climatic clash between Britain and France for control of the North American continent sprang from their rivalry for control of	the Ohio River Valley.

212050126	unlike the first three Anglo-French wars, the French and Indian War	was fought initially ont he North American continent
212050127	the long-range purpose of the Albany Congress in 1754 was to	achieve COLONIAL UNITY and COMMON DEFENSE against the French threat.
212050128	As a result of the French and Indian WAr, Great Britain	became the dominant power in North American
212050129	Fro the American colonies, the French and Indian War,	ended the myth of British invincibility
212050130	During the French and Indian War,	British officials were disturbed by the lukewarm support of many colonials
212050131	The disunity that existed in the colonies before the French and Indian War can be attributed to	1. Enormous distances between the colonies 2. geographical barriers like rivers. 3. conflicting religions 4. varied nationalities
212050132	with the British and American victory in the French and Indian War,	a new spirit of independence arose, as the French threat disappeared.
212050133	In a sense, the history of the United States began with the	fall of Quebec and Montreal
212050134	The Proclamation of 1763 was issued mainly to	work out a fair settlement of the Indian problem
212050135	In the wake of the Proclamation of 1763	American colonists moved west, defying the Proclamation
212050136	The Proclamation of 1763	prohibited colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
212050137	One change in colonial policy by the British government that helped precipitate the American Revolution involved	compelling the American colonists to shoulder some of the financial costs of the empire.
212050138	When it came to the revolution, it could be said that the American colonists were	reluctant revolutionaries
212050139	In a broad sense America was	A revolutionary force fromt he day of its discovery by Europeans
212050140	The American colonial exponents of republicanism argued that a just society depends on	the willingness of all citizens to subordinate their private interests to the common good
212050141	Republican belief held that the stability of society and the authority of the government	depended upon the virtue of its citizenry
212050142	The founding of the American colonies by the British was	undertaken in a haphazard maner.
212050143	Under mercantilist doctrine, the American colonies were expected to do all of the following except	become economically self-sufficient as soon as possible.
212050144	The first Navigation Laws were designed to	climinate Dutch shippers from the American carrying trade.
212050145	The British Crown's "royal veto" of colonial legislation	restrained colonies from printing paper currency
212050146	Under the mercantilist system, the British government reserved the right to do all of the following regarding the American colonies	prevent the colonies from developing militias
212050147	Before 1763 the Navigation Laws	were only loosely enforced in the American colonies
212050148	Sugar Act	first British law intended to raise revenue in the colonies
212050149	Stamp Act	generated the most protest in the colonies
212050150	Declaratory Act	Asserted Parliament's absolute power over the colonies
212050151	The first law ever passed by Parliament for raising tax revenues in the colonies for the crown was the	Sugar Act
212050152	The British Parliament passed the Stamp Act to	raise money to support new military forces needed for colonial defense.
212050153	Colonists objected tot he Stamp act because	parliament passed the tax, not the colonists
212050154	When colonists shouted "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION," they were rejecting Parliament's power to	levy revenue-raising taxes on the colonies.
212050155	Actions taken by the colonists that helped them unite include	the Stamp Act Congress
212050156	"Virtual" representation meant that	every member of Parliament represented all British subjects
212050157	Colonial protests against the Stamp Act took the form of	British officials sent regiments of troops to Boston to restore law and order
212050158	The tax on tea was retained when the Townshend Acts were repealed because	it kept alive the principle of parliamentary taxation.
212050159	The local committees of correspondence organized b Samuel ADams	kept opposition to the BRitish alive, though exchange of propaganda
212050160	The most drastic measure of Intolerable Acts was the	Boston Port Act
212050161	The Quebec Act	denied Quebec a representative assembly
212050162	The Quebec Act was especially unpopular in the American colonies because	they deny the French the right to retain many of their old customs
212050163	The First Continental Congress was called in order to	decid which of Parliament's taxes the colonies would and would not pay
212050164	the First Continental Congress	called for a complete boycott of British goods
212050165	As the War of Independence began, Britain had the advantage of	overwhelming national wealth and naval power
212050166	What wasn't a weakness of the British military during the War for Independence	soldiers who were incapable of fighting effectively
212050167	Many whigs in Britain hoped for an American Victory in the War for Independence because they	feared that if George III triumphed, his rule at home might become tyrannical
212050168	As the WAR for Independence began, the colonies had the advantage of	many outstanding civil and military leaders.
212050169	The colonies did not face what weakness in the War for Independence	the use of numerous European officers
212050170	Regarding American Independence	only a select minority supported independence with selfless devotion.
212050171	"Varying Viewpoints" notes that the most influential view of the American Revolutionary currently holds that	fear of losing their liberty drove the colonists to war.
212050172	As noted in "Varying Viewpoints," historians since the 1960s have interpreted the Revolutionary struggle as	one in which economic concerns played a crucial role
212050173	Perhaps the most important single action of the Second Continental Congress was to	select George WAshing ton to head the army
212050174	George Washington's selection to lead the colonial army was	largely political

212050176	The colonists delayed declaring their independence until July 4, 1776 for all of the reasons except	lack of military victories
212050177	One purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to	explain to the rest of the world why the colonies had revolted

212050186	The American REvolution was	an example of accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution
212050187	The world's first antislavery society was founded by	quakers in philadelphia
212050188	As part of the egalitarian movement of the American Revolution	several northern states abolished slavery.

212050195	The major issue that delayed ratification of the Articles of confederation	tariff pollicy
212050196	the ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION left congress unable to	enforce a tax-collection program
212050197	a major strength of articles of confederation was its	presentation of the ideal of a united nation
212050198	one of the most farsighted provisions of the northwest ordinance of 1787	prohibited slavery in the old northwest
212050199	After the REvolutionary war, both britain and spain	prevented america from exercising effective control over about half of its total territory
