Answer:

The uninterrupted history of blacks in the United States began in 1619, when 20 Africans were landed in the English colony of Virginia. These individuals were not slaves but indentured servants—persons bound to an employer for a limited number of years—as were many of the settlers of European descent (whites). By the 1660s large numbers of Africans were being brought to the English colonies. In 1790 blacks numbered almost 760,000 and made up nearly one-fifth of the population of the United States.

In a brief essay, explain three ways in which the Roman Catholic Church responded to the spread of Protestantism in the sixteent
nexus9112 [7]

Religious orders were formed that aimed to build allegiance to Rome and the papacy, and to educate people in Catholic teaching.  The Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuits for short, was a key order of this sort.  The order was founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, along with Francis Xavier and several others.  

The Council of Trent served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church. For instance, the Council of Trent put a stop to the selling of indulgences. But more than anything, the meeting of Roman Catholic church leaders reasserted the full authority of Roman power and doctrine in opposition to the Protestant threat.  The Council of Trent held meetings over a span of years from 1545 to 1563.  

 

The Roman Inquisition was founded in 1542 to act as an investigative body regarding threats to Rome's teachings.  About a century later, Galileo would be one of the most famous persons tried by the Roman Inquisition. The efforts of the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century have continued to impact both Catholicism and Protestantism. Faithful Catholics see the "Catholic Reformation" (which included the items described above) as a healthy resurgence of Rome's spiritual authority. Protestants have tended to see Rome's efforts as oppressive, convincing them that breaking off relationships with Rome was the right thing to do. There have been some efforts in recent history to build ecumenical ties between Catholics and Protestants, but mostly the two sides have continued to pursue their separate missions apart from one another.

In conclusion, The Roman Catholic Church responded to the spread of Protestantism in the 16th century in several ways, intending to strengthen its own stance and its hold on church power.

Lostsunrise [7]

The ancient Olympics were more of a religious festival rather than an athletic event. The games were held to commemorate Greek god Zeus. During those times, on the middle day of the Olympics, 100 oxen would be sacrificed to god Zeus. In the modern times, Olympic games are held with the same purpose.

according to the mayflower compact why did the colonist at plymouth need to form a civil body politic
patriot [66]
<span>The Mayflower Compact was an agreement signed by the male passengers of the Mayflower and which served as the foundational governing agreement of the Plymouth colony. The Compact said that it was necessary to form a 'civil body politic' so that the colonists could be 'better ordered', or organized, to accomplish their shared goal of establishing an English colony in North America, and so that they would have the basis for establishing whatever laws, ordinances and offices they found necessary for accomplishing that goal.</span>
