What this means
The American Revolution had many important events, and naming one answers the question:
- The Battle of Bunker Hill
- The signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776
- Washington crossing the Delaware (the Battle of Trenton)
- The Battle of Saratoga, a major turning point
- The winter at Valley Forge
- The Battle of Yorktown, the last major battle
Any one of these is correct. The Declaration of Independence is the easiest to remember, since it comes up elsewhere on the test.
