Question

why did american women riot in boston in 1777 as well as in other cities during the american revolution? (1 point)
○ to demand an end to the war
○ to obtain food during shortages
○ to overthrow british occupying forces
○ to protest their exclusion from the military

Explanation:

During the American Revolution, food shortages were common due to disruptions from the war (e.g., supply chain issues, British blockades). Women rioted in cities like Boston in 1777 to secure food for their families and communities. Demanding an end to the war was not a primary focus of these riots, overthrowing British forces was more the realm of military efforts, and protesting exclusion from the military was not a driver of these food - related riots.

Answer:

B. to obtain food during shortages
