History
1 answer:
german3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The Northern states held mixed views on slavery.

Explanation: The abolitionists opposed slavery and its expansion while some others only sought to limit slavery to the South. Some of the workers in the North who feared that freed slaves might move north to claim their jobs also supported the continuation of slavery. A lot of northern business owners also favored slavery because they profited from it.

However, even those who were not abolitionists opposed the Fugitive Slave Act (which required that all escaped slaves, upon capture, be returned to their masters and that officials and citizens of free states had to cooperate) because the law required them to support slavery. Many Northerners simply refused to comply with the law while others continued to help shelter and transport escaped slaves on the Underground Railroad.

Levart [38]

The correct answer is:  

It was more limited and restricted to clergy and nobility.

In the Massachusetts Bay Colony, religion and government were profoundly tangled and only proven devoted Puritans were allowed to partake in governmental affairs, actually creating a theocracy (government administered by religious officials who impose religious beliefs). The Puritans were extremely intolerant of other religions and constantly persecuted other religious views, principally Quakers.
