Answer:
The statement is true. In 1776, General William Howe defeated George Washington in New York.
Explanation:
The War of Independence began in the spring of 1775 with the Battle of Lexington and Concord, which was immediately followed by the siege of Boston by militia and later the Continental Army. When settlers set up artillery on the nearby heights, General William Howe preferred to evacuate the city by sea and retreat to Halifax. British troops regrouped and received reinforcements from Europe.
A strategy was set up on the British side, and New York was chosen as the first target, for its central position, its great useful port for the mighty British navy, and the largest number of loyalists among its population. The capture of New York was aimed to separate New England from other colonies, and open the way to Philadelphia, the most populous city, and the meeting place of the Second Continental Congress.
Aware of the key role of New York, George Washington, while traveling from Philadelphia to Boston to oversee the siege, ordered General Charles Lee to organize defense and fortifications.
The British troops landed on Long Island in August 1776. In the ensuing battle, Washington and its army were beaten and forced to retreat, for the first time in a long series that first led them to the peninsula where Manhattan is today, then on the heights of Harlem, on the other side of the Hudson in New Jersey, and finally in November 1776 beyond the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, leaving the control of New York to the British Army and the Loyalists.
General William Howe beat George Washington in New York in 1776. Thus, the statement is true.
Washington was successful in driving the British out of Boston in 1776, but his subsequent tests under fire were failures.
With Washington virtually conquered, New York was abandoned, Fort Washington fell, and, most disastrously, Fort Lee was so slowly evacuated that the British took valuable guns, muskets, and supplies.
General George Washington's troops destroyed a force of Hessian mercenaries at Trenton after crossing the Delaware River in a dangerous storm.
The win prepared the foundation for another triumph at Princeton a week later and strengthened American morale.
Therefore, the statement is true.

The massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 was a sad, final chapter in the United States long history of wars against Native American peoples on the North American continent. The death toll at Wounded Knee is debated by historians, but was at least 150 and many think the total was at least double that amount (so, 300 or more). According to the History Channel, nearly half of those killed were women and children. The killing was carried out by the 7th Cavalry of the US Army, which lost only 25 men in the encounter.

cheap production of goods
The correct answer is D) cheap production of goods.
The issue largely related to Mexico that became a major controversy in the 1990s was the cheap production of goods.
With the signing of NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement, many people in the United States started to worry about the quality of products that could be imported from Mexico. Let's remember that NAFTA opened the border to free trade of many products between Mexico, Canada, and the United States. Another concern for United State citizens and government was the fact that many U.S. companies decided to take their fabrics or offices from the U.S. to put them in Mexico because the labor is cheaper in that country.
