Answer Key

#	Answer
1	The American Revolution was the war in which the American colonies fought Great Britain to gain independence.
2	One reason was that the colonists had to pay taxes without having elected representatives in Parliament.
3	It means that people should not be taxed by a government unless they have representatives who can speak for them.
4	Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Its main purpose was to explain why the colonies wanted to break away from Britain.
5	The Battle of Lexington and Concord was the first military conflict of the American Revolution.
6	The winter at Valley Forge was very difficult, but it helped the Continental Army become stronger through training and discipline.
7	The French alliance was important because France gave the Americans military help, supplies, and support against Britain.
8	The British had a larger, better-trained army and a strong navy, while the Continental Army was smaller, less experienced, and had fewer supplies.
9	Geography helped the colonists because they were fighting on familiar land. For example, they could use knowledge of local terrain to hide, move supplies, or avoid British forces.
10	The American Revolution changed the colonies by creating an independent United States with its own government instead of being ruled by Britain. This was important because it gave Americans the power to make their own laws and govern themselves.
