He was the first African to be elected into Congress in 1870
The purpose Missouri Compromise was to settle between anti and pro slavery states
In August 1619 more people arrived on the Dutch Man-of-War ship at Jamestown colony. This is the earliest record of Black people in colonial America. These colonists were freemen and indentured servants. At this time the slave trade between Africa and the English colonies had not yet been established.
Records from 1623 and 1624 listed the African inhabitants of the colony as servants, not slaves. In the case of William Tucker, the first Black person born in the colonies, freedom was his bright right. He was son of "Antony and Isabell", a married couple from Angola who worked as indentured servants for Captain William Tucker whom he was named after. Yet, court records show that at least one African had been declared a slave by 1640; John Punch. He was an indentured servant who ran away along with two White indentured servants and he was sentenced by the governing council to lifelong servitude. This action is what officially marked the institution of slavery in Jamestown and the future United States.
Sorry the answer took so long -laughs- but it only created a social hierarchy that stood for decades.
Answer:
Right choice:
Luther taught that salvation came from faith alone, while the Church taught that both faith and good works could bring about salvation.
Explanation:
Martin Luther was a priest and theologian in Wittenberg, Germany. In his times, one of the usual practices of the Roman Catholic Church was to issue papal bulls for a payment that would absolve the person from his or her sins. This was scandalous to the eyes of Luther. Besides, abuses and immoral behavior by priests and bishops, often too attached to worldy possessions and pleasures, was not uncommon. This led Luther to publish his 95 thesis on the doors of the Wittenberg seminar where he taught, the start of Reformation and Protestantism in Europe. The Lutheran creed says that human salvation is an act of the grace of God and can be attained through faith only; Christians can establish a direct communication with God, not through intermediaries (Catholic priests); the ultimate authority on religious issues is the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, not the interpretation and dogmas of the Vatican.
