US History: Chapter 2, Exercise 3 — Possible Solution
======================================================================

WHAT THE CHAPTER OFFERS
The "Thirteen Colonies" label arose with the Revolution; the colonies had a
degree of self-government and local elections; growth and trade figures (40
percent of the empire's output by 1770).

WHAT IS NEEDED
Evidence of how those features led to conflict: the imperial policies of the
1760s and 1770s, colonial responses, and the timeline (Chapter 3). The chapter
does not show causes.
