• The French and Indian War ended in 1763. The Revolutionary War began in 1775. \(1775 - 1763=12\), so the first statement is true.
• The First Continental Congress met in 1774. The Revolutionary War began in 1775, so it met before the war began.
• In 1765, Americans boycotted British goods. The Revolutionary War began in 1775, so the boycott was before the war.
• The first battle of the Revolutionary War was at Lexington and Concord in 1775, not the Boston Massacre (1770).

Answer:

• The Revolutionary War began 12 years after the end of the French and Indian War.
• The First Continental Congress met before the Revolutionary War began.
• Americans boycotted British goods before the Revolutionary War began.
