What was the predominant religion in Pennsylvania?Quakerism

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Quakerism

Explanation:

The Quakers are a religious group emerged in England in 1647 as a dissent from the Anglican Church. One of the pillars of the faith of the Quakers is the belief there is no need to create a clerical organization, then all faithful are ministers of God. The Quakers lived in recollection and preached the practice of pacifism, solidarity and philanthropy. In order to guarantee their moral purity, they also defended, let alone moderate, attitudes: they refused to pay tithes to the official church, to take oath before the magistrates in the courts or to pay tribute to authorities, including the king. They were still refusing to do military service and take part in wars.

They presented original ideas in 17th-century English absolutist society, and for this reason, they were eventually persecuted by Charles II. For this reason, a large part of the Quakers emigrated to the United States, where, led by William Penn, they created the colony of Pennsylvania in 1681.

How was the headline that made the US citizens react with outrage and demand that something be done in Cuba

Tems11 [23]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Unfortunately, you did not specify the time in the US history of this situation.

Throughout history, the United States and Cuba have had many differences and difficult moments. It could be in the Spanish-American War, it could be in Fidel Castros' rise to power in Cuba, it could be the bef¿ginning of Communism in Cuba, it could be the Cuban Missiles Crisis during the Cold War, the Cuba embargo, and so many more.

Which one are you referring to?

Tryin to help you with something of value, we are going to assume you are talking about the Spanish-American War context, in which American Yellow newspapers played an important role to get the US into the war, after the sinking of the USS Maine.

During the coverage of the news in Cuba during the Cuban Independence movement against Spain, the United States decided to closely oversee the situation and send the US navy to the Island of Cuba.

The USS Maine was anchored off the coast of La Havan, the capital city of Cuba when it was sunk.

The kind of press coverage from American Newspapers such as The New York Journal, owned by Randolph Hearst, and the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer, directed impacted the US citizen's reaction with outrage and demanded that something could be done in Cuba.

Those two owners were big rivals or enemies, we could say. And they practiced the "yellow" or sensationalistic journalism style to create drama in their audiences and sell more newspapers.
