Explanation:

Question 7

During the war (likely the American Revolution), women and enslaved Africans questioned their societal positions. Option D states they wanted the same rights white American males were fighting for (freedom, equality, etc.). Option A is about pay (not main focus), B is about British granting rights (misaligned), C is about rights equal to Britain/France (not the core; focus was on rights within America like white males). So D is correct.

To defeat the British in the South during the American Revolution, Americans used guerrilla (hit - and - run) warfare. Option A (capturing Loyalists) wasn't the main tactic. Option C (using Native Americans) was not the primary tactic. Option D (large battles for cities) was against British strength; hit - and - run (B) was effective against British supply lines and mobility.

The Battle of Yorktown (D) was the final major battle. The British realized the war was too costly here. Battle of Saratoga (A) was a turning point for French support, Battle of Bunker Hill (B) was early, Battle of Trenton (C) was a morale booster but not the one that ended the war's era.

Answer:

D. They wanted the same rights that white American males were fighting for.
