In the American colonies, the document that called for the religious freedom is the Virginia declaration of rights.  

On June 12, 1776 the Virginia colonial constitutional convention adopted the Virginia declaration of right. The declaration of right had sixteen sections and listed certain liberties that cannot be taken away by the government. Such liberties include freedom of the press and the freedom of exercise of religion.

Further Explanation

Towards the end of the eighteen century, Virginia and Massachusetts were the two colonies that championed the course for independence of the United States. Many prominent leaders were produced by the colony and these leaders play a vital role in the American Revolution. These leaders include Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and George Washington.

These leaders led the struggle for political independence and this also resulted to the disestablishment of the Anglican Church thereby granting all the citizens the right to choose their religious belief. The Anglican Church was the official religion in the colony during those eras.  

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were the two among the founding fathers that played a crucial role in the 1786 enactment of the landmark Virginia Act for establishing religious freedom. The Virginia act had a great influence on the new constitution that was adopted by the states in 1789.  LEARN MORE:

How did the French and Indian war help t lead colonist to fight for independence from England
Nata [24]

Answer:

The French and Indian War saw calls for the colonists to unite for their common defense against the French and the Indians.

This was seen by Ben Franklin's JOIN or DIE poster.

In addition to this, the war debt Britain felt after the war led to the beginning of new taxes which the colonists didn't like ("No Taxation without Representation").  The colonists believed if they were to pay taxes, they should have a say (i.e. in Parliament) on where those taxes were going.  As you probably know, this led to a whole slew events which escalated tensions (Townsend Act, Boston Tea Party, Intolerable Acts) and eventually the Continental Congress formed to raise an army.

What was true of the berlin conference in 1884 apex?
AveGali [126]
I don't know your options, but something that is true about the Berlin Conference of 1884 is that it is believed to have started the Scramble for Africa - that is, the division of Africa between the European powers without taking into account the Africans. 

So what is NOT true is that the African (leaders) were involved in any way, but what is true is that their continent was decided upon without their participation.
