Answer:

To cut off New England from the rest of the colonies

Explanation:

The theory was that with both New York City and Albany in British hands, they would then control the Hudson River and separate the particularly rebellious New Englanders from the rest of the colonies. It is simply the old divide and conquer theory.

What was the point of view for the christians during the crusades

Rufina [12.5K]

Question: <em>What was the viewpoint for the Christians during the Crusades?</em>

Answer: The Crusade battles were religious wars between the Muslims and the Christians, all fighting to gain control of certain and specific 'holy sites' that were desired by both. Both sides were determined to take back what they deemed theirs and believed that the other side was in the wrong. The Christians, as normally peaceful people, believed that the horrors of war shouldn't have to continue, but did because they wanted what was theirs.

Uplifting Note: Conflict is a thing of the past! Our political and religious views should not have to define us, so just be friends.
