The Alamo, Davy Crockett, and Sam Houston are MOST closely associated with A) the Texas War for Independence against Mexico.
David Crockett (1786-1836) took part in the Texas Revolution (1835-1836) and was killed at the famous and decisive Battle of the Alamo. This bloody battle, fought over the Alamo mission in modern-day San Antonio, resulted in a victory for the Mexicans, but it acted as a "wake-up-call" for many Texians and other settlers, who decided to join the Texian Army and eventually defeated the Mexicans at the Battle of San Jacinto, which was led by General Sam Houston (1793-1863). This battle put an end to the Texas Revolution. After the insurrection, Texas, which had been the Mexican state of Tejas, became a republic, and it was eventually annexed to the United States.
The Alamo, Davy Crockett, and Sam Houston are most closely connected with the Texas War for Independence. The Alamo was a key battleground, Davy Crockett was a participant and Sam Houston was the leader of the Texas army during this conflict which culminated in the independence of Texas from Mexico.
The Alamo, Davy Crockett, and Sam Houston are most closely associated with A) the Texas War for Independence. The Alamo is a famous historical fort where Texan forces had a significant battle with Mexico, and Davy Crockett, an American folk hero and congressman, died during this conflict. Sam Houston, a pivotal figure in Texas history, served as the general of the Texas army during this war leading to Texas Independence from Mexico in 1836. This period of history marked an expression of Texan identity and set the stage for its eventual inclusion into the United States.

His books and articles on the flat tax, with Hoover fellow Robert Hall, have provided the foundation for numerous tax reform bills.

British debt doubled as a result of the French and Indian War. The annual cost of maintaining the British army in the thirteen colonies before the war was £13,000. The additional 15 battalions (large number of troops) in North America after the war increased the cost to £220,000. Interest on the debt was £4.4 million per year so just paying the interest concerned King George III and Parliament. The colonies opposed paying for their own defense so Parliament passed a tax to raise revenue to make the colonists provide for their common defense. The tax was called the Stamp Act because it required a stamp to be placed on all printed materials purchased throughout the thirteen colonies. The total amount intended to be raised by the new tax was £60,000 per year, this is not even 20% of the total amount required to maintain the troops.
Document B Analysis—Study the chart and reading to answer the questions. Remember to paraphrase.
1. What is the source of the document? Is it a primary or secondary source? Explain.
2. How did the French and Indian War impact British debt?
3. What was the exact difference in pounds in the debt between 1755 and 1762?
4. How much did it cost to keep British troops in the colonies after the war?
Answer:
The defeat of the British at the Battle of Fort Duquesne sparked the French and Indian War. The British attacked the French trading fort known as Fort Duquesne on September 14, 1758 (not 1755). This fort, and others, had been constructed in 1754 by the French in the Ohio River Valley as part of their strategy to expand their profitable fur trade, which was based in present-day Canada. The British, however, objected to this usurpation of what they considered was their territory, and, as a result, the Prime Minister, William Pitt, sent General John Forbes and 6,000 soldiers to gain control of the fort. During a reconnaissance mission, Major James Grant and his soldiers tried to attack the fort, but they were defeated by the French and his Indian allies. Aware of their numerical disadvantage, the French decided to retreat, not without burning Fort Duquesne first. Once they eventually left the Ohio Valley, the British built Fort Pitt on the site.

Answer:
For questions about Document A, here are the answers
Explanation:
1. What is the source of the document? Is it a primary or secondary source? Explain.
Well, since it was taken FROM the official Stamp Act document it’s a primary source. You know this piece of text is taken from the document because it’s labeled as an “excerpt” at the top.
2. What was the purpose of the Stamp Act, according to the document?
The Stamp Act was “AN ACT for granting and applying certain stamp duties”.
3. A colonist purchased a pair of dice, a 4-page newspaper, and placed an ad to sell a product in a newspaper. How much in today’s money would that have cost?
You can purchase the following items at these prices. A pair of 6-sided dice 19mm would cost you roughly $8.65. A 4-page newspaper usually goes for around $1.00. Lastly, the most expensive of the purchases would be an ad in the newspaper which costs roughly $12 per inch of newspaper used, meaning that a normal 4-inch by 4-inch ad would cost you $192.00. Assuming that this is exactly what you bought you would end up paying a total of 8.65 + 1.00 + 192.00 = $201.65
