Question

Use the quote to answer the question.


" The Americans have tarred and feathered your subjects, plundered your merchants , burnt your ships, denied all obedience to your laws and authority; yet so clement and so long forbearing has our conduct been that it is incumbent on us now we take a different course. Whatever may be the consequences, we must risk something; if we do not, all is over" - Lord North


The quote most clearly supports an argument in favor of what?


A. British officials and the Coercive Acts

B. Native Americans and the Proclamation Line

C. Parliament and Declaratory Act

D. Sons of Liberty and the Boston Tea Party

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

The quote most clearly supports the British officials and Coercive acts, since it clearly states that Americans have inflicted injustices against the British. In 1774, a series of acts called the intolerable or coercive acts were passed in order to restore British authority in the colonies. The Americans had evaded this authority, as the passage states most eloquently, by plundering merchants and burning ships. The British acts were passed in order to limit the power of the colonies and avoid further incidents.
