Question

based on the timeline, which statements are true? select the two that apply. no colonists were killed by british soldiers before the american revolution. colonists protested taxes created by the british government. the first continental congress met to place new taxes on the thirteen colonies. the french and indian war ended before the stamp act was passed.

Explanation:

1. The timeline shows that in March 1770, British soldiers killed colonists in the "Boston Massacre", so the statement "No colonists were killed by British soldiers before the American Revolution" is false.
2. In June 1767, the British government passed the Townshend Act and many colonists protested the new tax, which supports the statement "Colonists protested taxes created by the British government".
3. The First - Continental Congress met to decide how the colonists should respond to British taxes and actions, not to place new taxes on the Thirteen Colonies, so this statement is false.
4. The French and Indian War ended in February 1763, and the Stamp Act was passed later (not shown on this timeline but historically after 1763), so "The French and Indian War ended before the Stamp Act was passed" is true.

Answer:

B. Colonists protested taxes created by the British government.
D. The French and Indian War ended before the Stamp Act was passed.
