Religion has played a very important role in the Sumerian society. The Sumerians believed they were supposed to obey and serve the gods. They believe they were inferior to the gods and afraid of what the gods could do to them. They believed in the afterlife and if they were good in their first life they would be rewarded in their second life. The most beautiful temples were built in honor of the gods and they believed that they owned the cities, making their society a theocracy.

<span>B. cut off New England from the rest of the colonies. 

British general John Burgoyne had proposed the plan to isolate New England from the rest of the colonies.  The plan had about 8,000 British troops invading into New York from Canada and taking control of the Hudson River.  The plan was initially successful -- the British took Fort Ticonderoga in June of 1777.  But General Burgoyne overextended his access to supplies as he came further into Patriot territory, and the colonial forces were able to cut off his supply line.  After a couple of difficult battles, Burgoyne's eventual surrender of his troops came with the loss at Saratoga in October, 1777.
