In 1739 arrived among us from Ireland the Reverend Mr. Whitefield, who had made himself remarkable there as [a traveling] preach

er. He was at first permitted to preach in some of our churches; but the clergy, taking a dislike to him, soon refused him their pulpits, and he was obliged to preach in the fields. The multitudes of all [members of different religious groups] that attended his sermons were enormous, and it was a matter of speculation to me to observe the extraordinary influence of his oratory on his hearers, and how much they admired and respected him. It was wonderful to see the change soon made in the manners of our inhabitants. From being thoughtless or indifferent about religion, it seemed as if all the world were growing religious, so that one could not walk through the town in an evening without hearing psalms sung in different families of every street. -Benjamin Franklin, "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" The preaching described in the excerpt is an example of which of the following developments in the 1700s?
(a)- the expansion of Protestant evangelism
(b)- the non- expansion of Protestant evangelism
(c)- the expansion of non- Protestant evangelism
(d)- None of these

The correct answer is A) the expansion of Protestant evangelism.

The preaching described in the excerpt is an example of the expansion of Protestant evangelism.

One of the former fathers of the United States, Benjamin Franklin, wrote his memoirs of biography from 1771 to 1790. The book is divided into four parts where he describes moments of his life and the creation of America in such difficult moments. Benjamin Franklin died in 1790 and could never end his autobiography. In the excerpt above, Franklin describes the way preaching was done in the 1700s, in which people closely followed religious teachings that were commented everywhere.

Did new immigrants achieve the "American Dream" that they had hoped for?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Depends

Explanation:

Depends on which time they immigrated. If it was during the depression or war then definetly not, and the 20th century had plenty of political unrest in America (WW2, Vietnam, etc) so an argument could be made that they did not achieve the American Dream, but on the other hand it depends on who it was and where they were from compared to America.

serious [3.7K]
The conflict over the establishment of the state of Israel.

Immediately after Israel declared itself an independent nation (free of British mandate control), a coalition of Arab states attacked, in 1948.  Another war over the Suez Canal zone followed in 1956 -- though that was more a direct matter between Egypt and Israel (as well as Britain and France).  Further wars between Israel and Arab neighboring states occurred in 1967 (the Six Day War) and in 1973 (the Ramadan or Yom Kippur War).
