Step-by-step solution for: Timeline American Revolution worksheet
To solve the problem, we need to arrange the events of the American Revolution in chronological order on the timeline. Here are the steps to do so:
The events and their corresponding dates are provided at the bottom of the image. Let's list them for clarity:
1. 1770 - Boston Massacre
2. 1773 - Boston Tea Party
3. 1775 - Lexington & Concord
4. 1775 - Ride of Paul Revere
5. 1776 - Declaration of Independence
6. 1777 - Flag Resolution
7. 1781 - Yorktown British Surrender
8. 1781 - Articles of the Confederation
9. 1787 - Constitution
10. 1789 - George Washington First President
We will place these events in order based on their dates:
1. 1770 - Boston Massacre

9. 1787 - Constitution
10. 1789 - George Washington First President
Now, we will place these events on the timeline from left to right in chronological order. The timeline has five slots above and five slots below the line. We can distribute the events as follows:
- Top Row (Above the Line):
1. 1770 - Boston Massacre
2. 1773 - Boston Tea Party
3. 1775 - Lexington & Concord
4. 1776 - Declaration of Independence

2. 1781 - Yorktown British Surrender
3. 1781 - Articles of the Confederation
4. 1787 - Constitution
