Answer:
B revival of evangelical religion that spread through the colonies.
Explanation:
Over the years, new generations have lost the vision and religious fervor of the pioneers. The growing economic prosperity and intellectual advancement resulted in a progressive numbness of the spiritual life. In the midst of this state of affairs, many people began to pray for a revitalization of the churches and their members. It was common for preachers to mourn the decline of spirituality and to urge their faithful to pray for revival. These aspirations began to be met outside New England, in the central colonies. This generated a deep need to bring the faithful back to religious life, leading preachers and priests to preach fervently. Thus was born the First Great Awakening, a period of high religious activity, mainly in the United Kingdom and in the colonies of North America.

d. Gautama believed that he could best help others by giving up his wealth.
While there certainly is truth to answer C (as selected by the other respondent), Siddhartha Gautama's view toward wealth was more than a passive realization that it did not bring happiness. Even more so it was an active view that translated into action, giving up one's wealth to benefit others.

Siddhartha Gautama is known as "The Buddha" (the "Enlightened One"). The details about his life history are debated by scholars, but we know the historical personage of Siddhartha Gautama as a teacher in ancient India around the 5th or 6th century BC. Buddhism is patterned after his teachings.
Answer:
The "Petit Blancs" was a French name given to the poor white citizens of Haiti that didn't own much or any land. These poor white folk were looked down on by the rich white plantation owners while also disliked by the black slaves. La Petit Blancs can be pretty compared to the peasants in France before the revolution although the black slaves did most of the manual labor in Haiti compared to the poor whites. When the slave rebellion lead by Louverture, Toussaint occurred, most of the petit blancs did not have the money to flee Haiti like the rich and were forced to live in a tense situation with the now self governing freed slaves. Pockets of petit blanc territory remained throughout the island though violence broke out between them and the Gens de couleur libres at times. This revolution is yet another example of the lesser class majority winning over the rich as well as one of the first examples of black independence and freedom.
