Answer:

First because Washington, D.C. was the capital city, and second because the slave trade was not seen as a good thing by the eyes of the foreign.

Explanation:

England was the first country in the world to free its slaves (in 1826), and then it began to compelled other countries to follow the example. But the United States did not make this until the 1860s, and slave trade was common in American cities. In Washington, D.C., however, as the capital city, it was something bigger. It was the center of the abolitionist campaign, but this was in contrast with the slave trade and slave markets.

Which was not a cause of the Protestant Reformation? Question 11 options: A.the Renaissance spirit of questioning authority B.sa

ollegr [7]

If I'm remembering correctly, the Protestant Reformation was a direct challenge to the Catholic church during the Renaissance. The Renaissance spirit of questioning authority (A) WAS a cause. During this time period, the Renaissance, people were beginning to think for themselves about the traditions they had followed for centuries--including the Catholic church.

The sale of indulgences (B) was also a cause: people were unhappy that the Catholic church was making money by selling forgiveness of your sins. That's just not right! It drove many people away from Catholicism.

I believe the Council of Trent (C) was a RESPONSE to the Protestant Reformation, where Catholicism was looked at a little more closely. The council was very much against the Protestant Reformation. This option is an effect, not a cause.

Answer:

The right answer is:

e. The British started offering freedom to slaves who signed up to fight for their army.

Explanation:

In November 1775, Virginia’s British Royal Governor, Lord Dunmore, issued a proclamation in which he promised to free any slave who left his master to fight together with British forces. 300 black men had joined what Dunmore called his “Ethiopian Regiment” after just one month. Rebellious Americans feared the effects of this policy and reversed their earlier decision not to recruit African Americans into the Continental Army.
