B. Reasserted the government's right to tax the colonists

Explanation:

The American Colonies Act 1766, also known as the Declaratory Act, was an Act of the British Parliament declaring that the Parliament's authority in America was the same as in Britain. It reasserted the Parliament's right to pass laws in American colonies, including the right to tax the colonists. The declaration stated that the Parliament had hath, and of right ought to have, full power and authority to make laws and statutes of sufficient force and validity to bind the colonies and people of America ... in all cases whatsoever.

The Act was accompanied by the repeal of the Stamp Act 1765 and the lessening of the Sugar Act 1764. The colonists especially boycotted against the tax on printed paper imposed by the Stamp Act. This negatively affected British trade, forcing the Parliament to repeal the Act. The Declaratory act, among other things, served as a justification of the repeal.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
