period of the american revolution? use at least two pieces
of textual evidence from the text as you develop your
response.

Explanation:

The question asks about what helped create a new American identity during the American Revolution. The text mentions that Britain's failed imperial reform attempts in the 1760s created an increasingly vigilant and resistant colonial population. A new sense of shared grievances created united protest. Through anger and resistance, the colonists created an American political identity. Also, colonists from different social classes participated in the resistance (e.g., by not buying British goods and monitoring and enforcing the boycotts). The character of colonial resistance had changed between 1765 and 1770 with more colonists from different social classes participating.

Answer:

Britain's failed imperial reform attempts in the 1760s which led to a vigilant and resistant colonial population with shared grievances (united protest through anger and resistance) and the participation of colonists from different social classes in resistance activities (like boycotts) helped create a new American identity.
