US History - Out of Many Ch 7

During the Revolutionary War, African Americans 
Fought for both the British and the Patriot armies.

After arriving in New York City in July 1776, the British won battles at all of the following places EXCEPT 
Trenton.

A characteristic of the young United States was 
An emphasis on local community interests.

The map of the Northwest Territory shows that all of the following states were created out of it EXCEPT 
Iowa.

The map of North America after the Treaty of Paris shows that
Four nations continued to make conflicting claims to extensive areas.

The map of the northern campaigns of 1777-78 shows that 
The British wanted to take Philadelphia and cut off New England.

The map of fighting in the South from 1778 to 1781 shows that the British 
Lost battles mostly in the interior.

The Newburgh conspiracy to force Congress to meet the military's demands for compensation in 1783 
Ended after Washington denounced it.

The Virginia Declaration of rights of 1776 
Began with the claim that all men have "inherent rights."

The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 
Provided for congressionally appointed governors in the Northwest Territory partly to prevent squatters.

By 1781, the United States was threatened with bankruptcy because 
The national government depended on the states for revenue, and they refused to raise taxes.

The war in the Trans-Appalachian West 
Barely paused before continuing for another two decades.

The most important role of the Patriot militias was 
To study fellow Americans' behavior and force them to choose a side.

The British policy in the South 
Was one not of conquest but pacification.

One of the keys to the Americans gaining their independence was 
The inability of the British to identify a single crucial center of resistance and defeat them there.

The correct chronological order of the following events is 
Vermont abolishes slavery, Robert Morris becomes Secretary of Finance, Treaty of Fort Stanwix, Jefferson's Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom.

The correct chronological order of the following events is
Lord Dunmore's declaration issued, France enters the war, Articles of Confederation ratified, Treaty of Paris signed.

The reason the Battle of Saratoga was important was 
It convinced France to enter the war because the Patriots had a chance to win.

Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress had the authority to do all of the following EXCEPT 
Raise revenue from the citizens.

The effect of revolutionary idealism on African Americans included all of the following EXCEPT 
The general willingness in the Lower South to override their interests and allow emancipation.

The events leading to the Revolution witnessed 
People with property who wanted a strong executive and upper house to prevent chaos and dictatorship.

The new state constitutions ranged from liberal to conservative as exemplified by 
New York which balanced the two with a bicameral legislature and property qualifications.

The Continental Army was important because 
It embodied the egalitarian and national aspects of the Revolution.

Women, during the War for Independence, did all of the following EXCEPT 
Be actively recruited and serve in the army.

The Loyalists 
Suffered from a loss of rights and property.

The members of the American peace commission included all of the following EXCEPT 
Thomas Jefferson.

Revolutionary idealism, upholding freedom and equality as goals, had all of the following effects EXCEPT 
The adoption of a penal code restricting capital punishment to the crimes of murder and treason.

The experience of the Continental Army at Valley Forge 
Gave the men strength through common bond and national sentiment.

During the peace negotiations with Britain, the American commissioners 
Violated their instructions and reached a preliminary agreement with the British.

All of the following Indian peoples joined the British during the Revolutionary War EXCEPT
The Oneidas.

After the American victory at Saratoga, all of the following occurred EXCEPT
Spain formally recognized the independence of the United States.

All of the following tended to be Loyalists EXCEPT
People who were not conservative in their political values.

The map of the military campaign for New York and New Jersey shows that the early fall of 1776 was 
A disaster for the Americans.

The battles in New York and New Jersey, in the summer and fall of 1776 
Convinced Washington that a defensive policy was the Patriots' best hope.

All of the following were problems for the United States in the Trans-Appalachian West EXCEPT
The need to increase migration to Kentucky and other areas.

Based on the map of fighting in the West and on who won the most battles, it would seem that
The Americans had defeated the Indians in the war.

The militias during the war for independence


Were unreliable and undisciplined in a time when war required cohesion.
