Answer:

D. It was the first captivity narrative that included religious references.

Explanation:

Mary Rowlandson (c.1637-1711) was a woman who lived in colonial America, and who wrote a vivid description of the three months she suffered as a Native American prisoner. His short book, A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson (History of the Captivity and Restitution of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson), is considered a seminal work in the American literary genre of captive narratives.

Rowlandson lived in Lancaster, Massachusetts, where she was the wife of a minister. On February 10, 1675, during the King Phillip's War, her house was an easy target for attack and was taken as a prisoner by the Indians, along with her three children. For almost ninety days she was forced to accompany her kidnappers as they moved through the forest, under what she described as terrible conditions, as they tried to elude the English Navy. The author describes the odyssey in twenty different "Camping", until finally reunited with her husband. She was released by John Hoar of Concord in Redemption Rock, Princeton, on May 2, 1676. During that time, one daughter died and two others had been separated from her, but in spite of everything, she found serenity in the Bible-- the text of his narrative is replete with verses and references describing similar conditions to his.

The writer was of the belief that everything that represented evil in the life of man was the product of a divine punishment for defying providence, a belief deeply rooted in the puritanical faith of the moment. In this way, the indigenous invasion of the village of Lancaster and the death of hundreds of people on both sides - the native and the English - was nothing more than the catastrophic outcome after the rupture of man with the will of God - which was He knew as the American Jeremiah.

7. How and why did power shift in ancient Rome over time?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The Constitution of the Roman Empire was an unwritten set of guidelines and principles passed down mainly through precedent.[1] After the fall of the Roman Republic, the constitutional balance of power shifted from the Roman Senate to the Roman Emperor. Beginning with the first emperor, Augustus, the emperor and the senate were theoretically two co-equal branches of government. In practice, however, the actual authority of the imperial Senate was negligible, as the emperor held the true power of the state. During the reign of the second emperor, Tiberius, many of the powers that had been held by the Roman assemblies were transferred to the

How did the debate of state’s rights lead to civil war
Mazyrski [523]

What Are States' Rights?

The Civil War<em> is believed by most to be caused because of the issue of slavery. Some, however, believe that it was actually about states' rights, or the rights of states to govern themselves outside of the control of the federal government. Whenever states' rights arguments are made, they all eventually come back to slavery. States' rights were simply a convenient political debate to fit the slavery argument into. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>The American Civil War was, ultimately, about one thing: slavery. However, other issues found their way into the debate as well. Arguably the most significant of these was the issue of states' rights. The idea of states' rights, at its most basic level, is the idea that the states that make up the United States of America should have individual rights to work as their own independent governments beyond the control of the national government. For example, while most states in the U.S. have a minimum driving age of sixteen years, it is actually up to each individual state to decide. In South Dakota, for instance, the driving age is actually fourteen. This is generally believed to be due to the large farming population that requires the help of young teens on family farms, often requiring that these teens drive trucks or tractors to tend to crops and livestock, but there is no legislative evidence for this belief. In New Jersey, the minimum driving age is seventeen, the highest in the country. There have been efforts in the past decades to impose a national law for the driving similar to the national drinking age in 1985, but these efforts have not been successful as of 2017.</em>
