Answer Key

#	Answer
1	The American Revolution was the war in which the American colonies fought to gain independence from Great Britain.
2	Many colonists were unhappy because Britain taxed them without their consent.
3	It means colonists believed they should not be taxed by a government in which they had no elected representatives.
4	Two important events were the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party.
5	Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Its main purpose was to explain why the colonies were separating from Britain.
6	It was important because it marked the start of fighting between British soldiers and colonial militias.
7	They brought colonial leaders together to organize resistance, discuss problems with Britain, and coordinate colonial action.
8	One advantage the Patriots had was fighting on familiar land, which helped them move and communicate more effectively. One disadvantage was that they had fewer resources and less training than the British.
9	The Battle of Saratoga was a turning point because the American victory convinced France to support the Patriots, which made the war harder for Britain to win.
10	Two important results were that the colonies became independent from Britain and the United States began creating its own government based on the ideals of liberty and self-rule.
