When the colonies were still a part of the empire, British Gen. Thomas Gage was ordered to suppress local militias by raiding storehouses in Concord of weapons and ammo. On April 19, 1775, they were met with armed resistance in what would be the first skirmish of the American Revolutionary War.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: Members of American militias were frequently called what?</dt> <dd>Answer: Minutemen were members of the militia who agreed to be ready to fight “at a minute’s notice.” Minutemen were first organized in Worcester, Massachusetts, and their success at Concord and Lexington led to other colonies employing the same strategy.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: During the Boston Massacre British soldiers fired into a crowd of colonists following what provocation?</dt> <dd>Answer: Amidst the rowdiness of a crowd throwing snowballs, one British soldier discharged his weapon, which led others to believe that an order had been given to fire. The 1770 incident left five colonists dead, further intensifying American resentment toward their British masters.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: What was the purpose of Paul Revere’s midnight ride?</dt> <dd>Answer: The midnight ride of Paul Revere, along with those of his compatriots William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, served to warn colonists that British authorities would soon be arriving in Concord to raid their military supplies and give the locals time to prepare.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: During the Boston Tea Party the Sons of Liberty wore crudely made disguises to resemble…</dt> <dd>Answer: Many of the disguises amounted to little more than ragged clothing and soot quickly applied to their faces, with many of the participants speaking a mock Native American language to complete the effect.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: Often recognized as the first American diplomat, which founding father was tasked with forging an alliance with France?</dt> <dd>Answer: Benjamin Franklin proved so popular in the French courts that the <em>coiffure a la Franklin</em>, a hairstyle made to resemble his trademark coonskin cap, became popular among fashionable ladies.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: Before betraying the patriots, Benedict Arnold was well known for what?</dt> <dd>Answer: Before his famous betrayal Benedict Arnold was a formidable fighting general for the patriots. He suffered a leg injury in the course of winning the Battle of Saratoga. During his long convalescence, several lower-ranking generals were promoted above him, making him disillusioned.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: Famously depicted in a large oil portrait, George Washington crossed which icy river during a sneak attack on Christmas Day 1776?</dt> <dd>Answer: Washington’s raid was very successful. He lost none of his 2,400 soldiers, and only five were wounded. The most serious was a near-fatal gunshot suffered by 18-year-old James Monroe, who would go on to become the fifth president of the United States.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: Which Frenchman helped secure his nation’s aid for the patriots and also fought side by side with them?</dt> <dd>Answer: The Marquis de Lafayette was born into a noble French family and was orphaned at a young age, inheriting much wealth. Before reaching the age of 20, he had traveled to the American colonies during the revolution to seek glory and was quickly appointed a major general. His combat skills and success in securing French aid helped defeat the British.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: Which person, whose name is now synonymous with all signatures, was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence?</dt> <dd>Answer: John Hancock played many roles during the American Revolution. He helped spur on the Boston Tea Party with Sam Adams, after which he was chased out of Massachusetts by British forces. Later, as president of the Continental Congress from May 1775 to October 1777, he became the first signatory of the Declaration of Independence.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: After losing a 1776 battle George Washington asked Congress for permission to burn down which city rather than let it fall into British hands?</dt> <dd>Answer: The Battle of Long Island was the first major battle after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. After the loss, Washington was able to quietly retreat into Manhattan, evading certain capture by British forces. Though Congress denied the general’s request, a mysterious fire did end up consuming a quarter of the city shortly after he left.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, has a statue of which person, whom the agency called “the country’s first intelligence officer”?</dt> <dd>Answer: As might be expected of a person in his line of work, not much is known about Nathan Hale. He was 21 years old when he was captured and hanged for collecting information about British military positions. According to legend his last words were “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Question: The 1781 American victory at which location effectively ended hostilities in the American Revolutionary War?</dt> <dd>Answer: In 1781 General Washington had cornered British General Cornwallis on Virginia’s Yorktown Peninsula, while a French fleet in the surrounding water kept British ships from offering relief. Outgunned and running low on food, Cornwallis surrendered (though he sent an underling to perform the actual surrender, claiming to be ill).</dd> </dl> </div> <div class="container"> <div class="grid"> <div class="col pt-sm-20"> <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement" : [ { "@type" : "ListItem", "position" : 1, "item" : { "@id" : "https://www.britannica.com/quiz/browse", "name": "Games & Quizzes" } } , { "@type" : "ListItem", "position" : 2, "item" : { "@id" : "https://www.britannica.com/quiz/browse/World-History", "name": "World History Quizzes" } } ] } </script> <nav class="breadcrumb quiz-breadcrumb mt-10 mt-sm-0 mb-10 mx-auto"> <span class="breadcrumb-item "> <a href="/" class="">Home</a> </span> <span class="breadcrumb-item "> <a class="" href="/quiz/browse">Games & Quizzes</a> </span> <span class="breadcrumb-item "> <a class="" href="/quiz/browse/World-History">World History Quizzes</a> </span> </nav> <div class="md-quiz mx-n20 mx-sm-auto shadow-lg rounded" id="quiz-root" data-bc-category="World History"> <div class="md-quiz-skeleton" style="--aspect-ratio: 900/675"></div> </div> <div class="md-extra-quiz-content mx-auto mb-10"> <div id="intro" class="mt-10"> <a class="font-14 d-inline-flex align-items-center font-weight-bold mb-10" href="https://cam.britannica.com"> <em class="material-icons mr-5" data-icon="star" style="font-size: inherit"></em> Save your scores!
