5. William Pitt helped lead the British to victory over France in the French and Indian War.

Answer 1

The tax measure imposed on colonists was the Stamp Act. The theory of mercantilism emphasized self-sufficiency and acquiring gold and silver. A cash crop is grown for sale, not for personal use.

Step-by-step explanation:

History

1. The tax measure imposed on colonists was the Stamp Act. It was a tax on all paper goods in the American colonies, including legal documents, newspapers, and playing cards. The tax was one of many imposed by the British government to raise revenue after the French and Indian War.
2. The theory of mercantilism held that a country's ultimate goals were to become self-sufficient and to acquire as much gold and silver as possible. This theory guided the economic policies of European powers during the colonial era.
3. A cash crop is one primarily for a farmer's own use rather than for sale. This statement is false. A cash crop is a crop grown specifically to be sold for profit, not for the farmer's own use.
