Answer:

The correct answer is A. William Penn founded Pennsylvania to provide a refuge for Quakers.

Explanation:

The province of Pennsylvania was one of thirteen English colonies in North America. It was founded by the English Quaker William Penn on March 4, 1681.

William Penn received the colony of King Charles II instead of paying a £16,000 debt owed by the Crown to his father, a naval hero, Admiral William Penn.  

The establishment of the colony solved the problem of the growth of the Religious Society of Friends or "Quaker" movement born in England, which caused some embarrassment to the Church of England established before. While still in England, Penn wrote the First Frame of Government, which described the government structure of the colony and promised certain rights to citizens.

Define the difference in cattle pricing in Texas versus Kansas. Formulate a conclusion of how this related to the cattle boom
seropon [69]
<span>Cattle were raised on the cattle ranches in Texas and driven or transported to the railheads in Kansas. It would take anything from twenty-five to one hundred days to drive the cattle from Texas to Western Kansas. Ranch owners were paid more for cattle in Kansas than they were in Texas. Cattle prices increased from 1866 to 1870. Increasing cattle pricing allowed Ranchers to send more cattle to the railheads and this created what is know as the cattle boom today. For example, seven hundred thousand head of cattle driven to the Midwestern markets in 1871. </span>
