Question

The colonists began to hide ammunition and supplies from the British soldiers because they were tired of the "freeloaders," or people living for free.

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

For some years there has been tension gathering momentum between the British authority and the colonist which later led to the revolutionary war.The America revolutionary war which took place between the period of the year 1775 and 1783 can be as well regarded as "American War of Independence ". which was started by the American Patriots of thirteen colonies in oppose to the British rule which was their colonial government that later resulted to the America independence.The battle that actually led to this revolution was the one between Lexington and Concord, when there was an attempt by the British to seize military stores in Concord/Lexington. This battle started when there was an instruction to the British General Thomas Gage( the military governor ) in the year 1775 to disarm as well as sending rebellion’s leaders to prison. The colonist prevented themselves from been disarmed by siezing of British military supplies in New York. In 1781 after the British surrender at Yorktown(Virginia) through the assistant rendered from French, America got their independence.

Therefore, the statement "The colonists began to hide ammunition and supplies from the British soldiers because they were tired of the "freeloaders," or people living for free." from the question is false.
