Answer Key

#	Answer
1	The American colonists were fighting against Great Britain.
2	One reason was that the colonists were taxed without having representation in Parliament.
3	It means the colonists believed they should not be taxed by a government in which they had no elected representatives.
4	The Boston Tea Party was a major event that increased tension.
5	It was important because it officially stated that the American colonies were separating from Great Britain.
6	George Washington helped lead the American Revolution as commander of the Continental Army.
7	The Continental Army was smaller and less experienced, while the British army was larger, better trained, and better equipped.
8	The Battle of Saratoga was a turning point because it showed that the Americans could defeat the British and helped convince France to support the colonies.
9	French support helped by providing soldiers, money, weapons, and naval power that strengthened the American side.
10	Many soldiers faced hunger, cold weather, disease, and a lack of supplies.
11	Some people remained loyal to Britain because they wanted stability, feared rebellion, or believed ties to Britain were still beneficial.
12	The large size of the colonies and the long distances made it harder for the British to control the land and gave the Americans advantages in using local knowledge.
13	It influenced ideas about government by promoting the belief that people should have a voice in leadership and that governments should protect individual rights.
14	Winning independence was significant because it allowed the colonies to create their own government and begin forming a new nation.
15	A strong response should identify one factor and explain it with evidence, such as how leadership organized the army, foreign help supplied resources, geography made British control difficult, or determination helped the colonists continue fighting despite hardships.
