Although German was common in some parts of the eighteenth-century United States (the Declaration of Independence was published in a German translation on July 9,
1776), no such referendum ever took place. The story that there was one seems to have arisen in the nineteenth century, apparently based upon the fact that the Congress considered (and rejected) a proposal to print Federal Laws in German as well as English in early 1795.
Yes, the Quartering Act contributed to the tensions between the colonists and the monarchy.
The main difference between the American Civil War and the American Revolutionary War was that the Revolutionary War was fought between the British Empire and the American Colonies, the latter of which declared independence; and the "Civil War" was fought between the United States, and the Confederated States of America--two separate and distinct countries. So, in actuality, the "Civil War" was not a civil war, since it was a war between to countries.
No, the Revolutionary War was the American War of Independence (from Britain). The Civil War was the war between the Northern and Southern states (1861-1865).
No. According to the German History Museum and the Smithsonian Insitutes, as well as the Library of Congress, this is a ninetenth legend.

My experience in Canada, having actively participated in both, is that a referendum is a non-binding expression of the opinion of the electorate, whereas the result of a plebiscite is binding on the government. It would appear, however, that this distinction is not universal.
a referendum to base school funding on property taxes
Not a lot. Each was a bid for national independence, sparked by taxation that was thought to be excessive.
A mandatory referendum is required by law for certain issues, while an optional referendum is not required but may be held at the discretion of the governing body. In a mandatory referendum, the public must vote on the issue, whereas in an optional referendum, the governing body decides whether to seek public input through a vote.
The colonies were revolting to get rid od the English rule over them.

Referendum is a procedure that allows voters to approve or reject a law already proposed or passed by government. _____________________________________________________________ Referendum is a ballot by which people directly decide between (usually two or more) alternatives on a major issue, such as whether or not to join a particular community of nations.

In the 1977 referendum to choose a new Australian national anthem, the second choice was 'Waltzing Matilda' (which, in retrospect, would have been an odd choice, given that it is about a sheep-stealer...). Advance Australia Fair gained 51.4 per cent approval rating from the public, whilst Waltzing Matilda had 19.6 per cent.Advance Australia Fair was in contest between the royal anthem God Save The Queen and the "unofficial anthem" Waltzing Matilda.
