Explanation:

1. Loyalists: colonists of the American revolutionary period who supported, and stayed loyal, to the British monarchy. Patriots: colonists who rebelled against British control during the American Revolution.

2. The Minutemen played a crucial role not only in the Revolutionary War, but in earlier conflicts. ... Militia were men in arms formed to protect their towns from foreign invasion and ravages of war. Minutemen were a small hand-picked elite force which were required to be highly mobile and able to assemble quickly.

3. American colonists in 1770 considered themselves to be loyal Englishmen. Hence they thought they should be treated even handedly, in this case, tea was not taxed in England and they thought it should not be taxed in America. They dumped the tea from 3 ships into the Harbor with a value of about $1 million.

4. No one knows who fired the first shot, but, in "Concord Hymn," Ralph Waldo Emerson described it as "the shot heard round the world" because of the importance the Revolutionary War and the United States would have in world history.

5. While George III did not respond to the Olive Branch Petition, he did react to the petition by declaring his own Proclamation of Rebellion. This document, issued August 23, 1775, declared certain elements of the American colonies in a state of “open and avowed rebellion”.
