Final answer:

George Washington had a positive relationship with the Marquis de Lafayette, and they both worked towards strengthening the Continental Army. Many exercises provided address different historical facts, such as the lack of rewards for Revolutionary war soldiers, the sense of unity derived from the French and Indian War, the response to Pontiac's War, and Sir Walter Raleigh's involvement with Roanoke.

Step-by-step explanation:

Understanding the Historical Claims

The question pertains to the attitudes and actions of influential figures during significant events in American history. To address the student's question:

The statement that "Washington Loves Marquis" likely refers to the relationship between George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette, who was a French aristocrat and military officer who fought in the American Revolutionary War. True affection and camaraderie existed between Washington and Lafayette, and Washington certainly appreciated Lafayette’s support for the Continental Army.

Regarding the provided exercises:

  • Revolutionary war soldiers were not well rewarded for their service, which is widely acknowledged in historical sources, making statement 8.4.6 - p363 false.
  • Jefferson’s use of economic pressure to influence Britain and France, referred to as the Embargo Act, was largely unsuccessful, making exercise 11.1.3 false.
  • There was an increased sense of common identity among the colonists after the French and Indian War, which helped sow the seeds of unity that would be important during the Revolutionary War, making exercise 7.1.1 and section 7.2.2 - p296 true.
  • The Proclamation of 1763 was indeed enacted in response to Pontiac's War as a means to stabilize relations with Native Americans, making exercise 7.1.2 true.
  • James Madison's efforts in finding a peaceful resolution with Britain and France are often seen as an extension and refinement of Jefferson's policies. However, some historians might debate who was more effective, making this a more subjective statement, exercise 11.2.1 cannot be definitively labelled as true or false without context.
  • The Conciliatory Proposition was an attempt by Britain to ease tensions with American colonists by offering to forgo tax enforcement if the colonies voluntarily contributed to the defense of the empire and the payment of the civil government, but did not fully meet all the demands of the colonists, making exercise 8.1.3 false.
  • Sir Walter Raleigh was indeed the person who sponsored the attempts to colonize Roanoke Island, making exercise 4.2.1 true.
