Answer:

A-the high literacy rate in American colonies

Explanation:

In the central decades of the 18th century (the "century of lights"), the cultural movement of the Enlightenment spread rapidly from France (Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, the encyclopedists) to the Anglo-Saxon world (which in fact had preceded and influenced notably with the scientific and political revolution of the seventeenth-century: Newton, Locke, Berkeley - who resided in America - or Hume), and particularly in the Thirteen Colonies of North America, where it found sufficiently trained elites, an especially favorable public opinion, a high literacy rate, and a free and dynamic press. The intellectual debates had a clear influence on the political and social movement of the American (or "American") revolution, which led to the formation of an independent United States (1776). Among the enlightened Americans were both local characters (Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams or James Wilson) and British people settled in the new nation (Thomas Paine or Joseph Priestley). Most of the so-called "founding fathers" can be considered both politicians and intellectuals of enlightened tendency, who politically defended the concept of the social contract, civil and political rights, and religious tolerance. The reconciliation between reason and faith through a deist sensibility, which rejected dogmas and mysticism and demanded a complete separation between the churches and the State, is characteristic of the American illustration.

What is the most obvious sign of bias in a historical text?
grandymaker [24]
Your teacher may have told you something specific that they want you to write here. If not, I would say it would be the glorification or demonization of any historical figure. Worshiping a certain figure by giving them constant praise and attempting to excuse every one of their immoralities, or showing a hatred of a certain figure by emphasizing their immoralities and attempting to belittle or invalidate their good deeds and accomplishments.
