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.

What are the influences and differences between American English and British English?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Differences:

Probably the biggest difference among the two is -- vocabulary.

Both nations use some common terms on the daily basis that are differently written and pronounced.

The Americans live in apartments, the Brits live in a flat.

The Americans drive a truck, the Brits drive a lorry.

The difference is also seen in auxiliary verbs -- for example will and shall.

Even though Americans have that word in their vocabulary, they don't really use it. They find it too stiff and formal.

When a Brit would say, '' I shall go home now '' ,he express that this certain action will occur somewhere in the near future.

The Americans would say, '' I will go home now '' .

There is a visible difference in past tense verbs as well.

We all know the three columns that each verb has, well, Brits don't (almost) ever use the third column, aka, past participle.

When a Brit would say '' I haven never got a pet as a present '', American would answer '' I've gotten three by now ''.

When it comes to tag questions, Brits use it way more than the Americans, even though both of their dictionaries contain them.

A Brit would say '' You love me, don't you? '' where an American would simply keep it at '' You love me? ''

There are many difference in spelling, too.

For Americans, it's as simple as flavor, color, favor, labor.

For the Brits, it's a bit flavour, colour, favour and labour.

Still, there are many more similarities than actual differences.

Influences:

The Americans decided to change their language because of Noah Webster.

He had a vision that America as a new nation should have differences compared to the British people. He wanted to show America's independence.

For a fact, American English is actually older than British.

British English sounds more like french which can be seen in some of the words with - our.

Both of the nations have collected words from different languages: French, Arabic, Spanish... etc.
