American Revolution Answers A

Answers:

1- 90%
2- False. Molly Pitcher didn't even exist.
3- False. Most allied with the British.
4- Because Paul Revere was captured by the British.
5- False. Most slaves fought for the British. ~5,000 Black Patriots. ~20,000 Loyalists. Lord Dunmore's 1775 Emancipation Proclamation offered freedom to all slaves who fought for the British crown. Those slaves who fought for Lord Dunmore were a part of Dunmore's “Ethiopian Regiment”.
6- Pitched battles. It took 20 seconds to reload a muzzle. By that time, one would be bayoneted.
7- 33%
8- First Battle: The Battle of Point Pleasant. Last Battle: The Battle of Blue Licks.
9- Conscripted.
10- July 2, 1776.
11- Breed's Hill.
12- Samuel Prescott. William Dawes, the last of the initial trio who rode with Revere, fell off his horse, and got lost.
13- Protection for the 13 colonies. English were taxed way higher than the Americans were.
14- 5
15- 18 of the 20. John Adams, 2nd President, defended them.
16- Genocide. Scorched earth campaign. Total warfare. Wiped them all out. Northern New York.
17- Hung them.
18- Roughly 40.
19- Nothing. He was trying to be as discreet as possible. 1/3 of the colonists were loyalists, and there were British authorities everywhere.
20- 40,000
21- Because the American Revolution was a proxy war between Great Britain and France. Compare to Vietnam War, Korean War, etc.
22- Less than 500 pounds. Taxes wasn't the main reason for the Revolution, as it was about political rights. The British were quartering in anybody's house, and doing illegal search and seizures. They also shut down the Boston Harbor, to punish the Tea Partiers, and there was no trial by juries.
23- Blacks. Native Americans. Women. Anybody under 21 years of age. All white males who didn't own property. Most of the population.
24- No. He used his dead slaves' teeth.

25- All 4. Jefferson fathered at least 1, if not all 6, children of Sally Hemmings. 3/5 Compromise considered slaves 3/5 of a person, and the US Constitution legalized slavery.

Books Read By Anne Frank

2 outta 5 Kyians can't read, according to a 1999 Paul Patton Task Force commission report. “44% of Kentuckians struggle with minimal literacy skills, and 37% of the Kentuckians age 25 and older do not have a high school diploma.” http://www.lrc.ky.gov/lrcpubs/rr296.pdf But hey, Kentucky, don't lose heart.

Here's Wendy, a Kentuckian, from Letcher County, who I met the other day:  Many Kentuckians, especially the backwards, racist, and illiterate, love to fuck up their words as bad as they possibly can. “Taters” isn't only stupid... it's childish. Plus, potatoes aren't that great. Potatoes were responsible for killing off a huge Irish population... sure it's one of the world's main basic food staples, but rice, pork, beef, wheat, sugar, etc., are so much more important, and more d...
