There are lots of circles in hell: One is Limbo where abide all the souls that are not actually sinners but cannot go to heaven because of lack of faith. There is Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Fraud, Violence etc. They have to go across all those circles to get to heaven. In the end, the two men finally climb out of hell into heaven.

What were some of the key economic "attacks" on the british colonists, and how did the colonist respond?

sdas [7]

Answer:

The first major American opposition to British policy came in 1765 after Parliament passed the Stamp Act, a taxation measure designed to raise revenues for a standing British army in America. Under the banner of “no taxation without representation,” colonists convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their opposition to the tax. With its enactment in November, most colonists called for a boycott of British goods, and some organized attacks on customhouses and homes of tax collectors.
