Question

based on the timeline, which statements are true? select all that apply. before the boston massacre, colonists protested new british taxes. the british military sent thousands of soldiers to boston several years before the boston massacre. five years after the boston massacre, the revolutionary war began.

Explanation:

• The timeline shows that in 1764 (Stamp Act) and 1767 (Townshend Acts) colonists protested new British taxes, and the Boston Massacre was in 1770. So the statement "Before the Boston Massacre, colonists protested new British taxes" is true.
• The British military sent soldiers to Boston in 1767 (Townshend Acts) and the Boston Massacre was in 1770. So "The British military sent thousands of soldiers to Boston several years before the Boston Massacre" is true.
• The Boston Massacre was in 1770, and the events between British soldiers and American colonists in Lexington and Concord (which are seen as the start of the Revolutionary War) were in 1775. 1775 - 1770 = 5. So "Five years after the Boston Massacre, the Revolutionary War began" is true.

Answer:

All the statements (Before the Boston Massacre, colonists protested new British taxes; The British military sent thousands of soldiers to Boston several years before the Boston Massacre; Five years after the Boston Massacre, the Revolutionary War began) are true.
