1. How might the American Revolution have turned out differently if the French had not joined the conflict on the American side?
2. Do you think it was more likely that an enslaved person would be rewarded for service in the Revolutionary War than it would be almost 100 years later, in the Civil War? Why pr why not?

Explanation:

1. Before the French joined our side in the revolution, we were tired, hungry and dirt poor. When Marquis De Lafayette of France first came to help George Washington, they gave the Americans supplies, troops, and taught them how to fight in battle properly. If it weren't for the French, we likely would have surrendered to England.

2. It depends. During the American Revolution, an enslaved man taking their master's place for serving the war could grant them their freedom, which was really all they wanted. But during the Civil War, President Lincoln technically had already granted slavery illegal, and so for the North, enslaved people finally had gotten their freedom, but in the South, they were still free, but also looked down upon by the whites, who used the slaves to get work around the house done.

Sorry I wrote so much, hope it helps :)

the rebels’ chances of victory at lexington & concord were fairly slim, given the fact that most of them very untrained and they were up against the world's greatest military force.
