Explanation:

• Question 24: The Articles of Confederation was the first foundation of government for the United States. It was in effect from 1781 - 1789. The Proclamation of 1763 was a British - issued proclamation related to colonial lands. The Declaration of Independence (1776) declared the colonies' independence from Britain but was not a government foundation. The Constitution (1789 - present) replaced the Articles of Confederation.
• Question 25: Loyalists (those loyal to Britain) and Patriots (those wanting independence) were key groups during the Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783). Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, and George Walton were signers of the Declaration of Independence, which is central to the Revolutionary War era. The Colonial era (before 1775) was more about British colonial rule. The Civil War era (1861 - 1865) was about the division between North and South over issues like slavery. The Reconstruction era (1865 - 1877) was about rebuilding the South after the Civil War.
