Which of the following was NOT mentioned as commonly cited by historians as relevant context to the War for Independence? a. A population boom and dispersion in England and especially in the North American colonies, arguably necessitating better royal control.

b. Political ambiguity regarding the legal status of English colonial men.

c. British plans to placate colonial tensions in granting Native American lands to the colonies

d. Historic events that put stress on the British Empire, like gaining territory and losing money amidst the Seven Years’/French & Indian War.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
