rule in America and the colonists were not happy with the British rule due to the unfair trade. For

tobacco, sugar and cotton.] Besides, the colonies could not produce the same kinds of goods as

(b) Who do you think would have published the poster in Source B - the American colonists or the
British? Explain your answer with reference to Source B.
American colonists (1 mark)
According to Source B, "Join or Die" the American colonists or American colonies were shown
as disunited states. (1 mark)
Explanation - According to Source B, these states failed to share their identities as Americans.
Only when they joined together, the American colonists would unite together to fight with
Britain, their common enemy. If they did not join together, they would lose the revolution and
they might die. Britain was a strong country at that time and America was her colony. (2 marks)
(c) Why did the American colonists win the revolution? Explain your answer with reference to
Source B and using your own knowledge.
The American colonists won the revolution. (0 mark)
According to Source B, "Join or Die". The American colonists were strongly encouraged by the
poster to unite together later during the American Revolution. At the beginning of the American
Revolution, the 13 American colonies were not united. This is a reason why the colonists won the
war later. (2 marks)
According to my own knowledge, the American colonists had good fighting plans. They knew
they were not as well trained as the British. Therefore, they tried to avoid large-scale battles with
the British. They had better chances to win. OR
According to my own knowledge, the colonists received military help from France, Spain and
Holland. Military help from these countries was important to the success of the colonists. [For
example, helped training the inexperienced colonial soldiers and officers.] For example,
Washington's forces was supported by the French troops at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781 which
was decisive battle of the American Revolution. OR
According to my own knowledge, the war took place in America, their home country. They
knew their land well which was the geographical advantage to them in fighting with the
British. OR
According to my own knowledge, with the help of Washington - his leadership - who was the
commander in chief of the Continental Army. In American history, George Washington was
regarded as the 'Father of His Country'. He turned a disorganized militia into a well-trained
army, which won American independence from Britain in the American Revolution.
[Washington's willpower and determination held the force together and they had a patriotic
spirit during the revolution.]
Accept other possible reasons.
