History
1 answer:
brilliants [131]3 years ago
4 0

American Protestants were afraid of the increased catholic immigration since <u>they felt threatened by the idea of America becoming a Catholic country. </u>

  • On the one hand, Catholics believed a different Christianity than Protestants. Protestants, as opposed to the Catholic church, thought the following:
  1. Less hierarchy in church structure.
  2. The Bible and, not the sacraments, as source of revelation from God
  3. Jesus as the only necessary intercessor with God.
  • There was an prejudice from anti-catholics that has to do with social class or status of the inmigrants. <u>Protestants from upper classes</u>, believed that the inmigrants were poor, therefore, they associated them with crime, danger and laziness.
  • The fear from the American protestants created by the massive flow of catholic inmigrants, was so big that even a popular national organization, the <u>American Protective Association</u>, was founded to promote anti-Catholicism.

skelet666 [1.2K]

The correct answer is "they received solemn promises from the government that they would be left alone and provided with supplies on the remaining land."

In post-Civil War America, Indians surrendered their lands only when they received solemn promises from the government that they would be left alone and provided with supplies on the remaining land.

And as we know, the situation became complicated and although they were sent to the Indian territory, modern-day Oklahoma- Native American Indian tribes felt betrayed because they always claimed that those original lands were theirs and belonged to their ancestors. And they were right. Native Indians were already in North America many years before the arrival of the white English colonists that founded the colonies in 1607.
