Question

In at least 150-200 words, choose the act passed by Britain that you believe had the biggest economic impact on the colonies. Support your answer with evidence from the lesson.

Answer 1

Stamp Act imposed on American colonies In an effort to raise funds to pay off debts and defend the vast new American territories won from the French in the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), the British government passes the Stamp Act on March 22, 1765.

The colonists, who had convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their opposition to the impending enactment, greeted the arrival of the stamps with outrage and violence. Most Americans called for a boycott of British goods, and some organized attacks on the customhouses and homes of tax collectors.

Slavery Abolition Act, act of the British Parliament that abolished slavery in most British colonies, freeing more than 800,000 enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and South Africa as well as a small number in Canada.

Impact of the Act The Slavery Abolition Act did not explicitly refer to British North America. Its aim was rather to dismantle the large-scale plantation slavery that existed in Britain’s tropical colonies, where the enslaved population was usually larger than that of the white colonists.

Answer 2

One Mesopotamian contribution that I think had the biggest impact on human history was the development of agriculture techniques and the knowledge to know about the flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, so Sumerians could use it for growing crops and to avoid some catastrophes.

The Sumerians were the oldest civilization on planet Earth. They settled in the middle of the above-mentioned Rivers in the Middle East region, modern-day Iraq. They developed great knowledge to built impressive buildings called Ziggurats and formed important city-states such as Uruk, Kish, Ur, and Lagash. Agriculture techniques were a big reason they could settle in these regions.
