Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan came into office with little experience in foreign relations but with a determination to base their policy on moral principles rather than the selfish materialism that they believed had animated their predecessors' programs. Convinced that democracy was gaining strength throughout the world, they were eager to encourage the process. In 1916, the Democratic-controlled Congress promised the residents of the Philippine Islands independence; the next year, Puerto Rico achieved territorial status, and its residents became U.S. citizens. Working closely with Secretary of State Bryan, Wilson signed twenty-two bilateral treaties which agreed to cooling-off periods and outside fact-finding commissions as alternatives to war.


In a statement issued soon after taking office, Wilson declared that the United States hoped “to cultivate the friendship and deserve the confidence” of the Latin American states, but he also emphasized that he believed “just government” must rest “upon the consent of the governed.” Latin American states were hopeful for the prospect of being free to conduct their own affairs without American interference, but Wilson's insistence that their governments be democratic undermined the promise of self-determination. In 1915, Wilson responded to chronic revolution in Haiti by sending in American marines to restore order, and he did the same in the Dominican Republic in 1916. The military occupations that followed failed to create the democratic states that were their stated objective. In 1916, Wilson practiced an old-fashioned form of imperialism by buying the Virgin Islands from their colonial master, Denmark, for $25 million.

What was the predominant religion in Pennsylvania?Quakerism
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Quakerism

Explanation:

The Quakers are a religious group emerged in England in 1647 as a dissent from the Anglican Church. One of the pillars of the faith of the Quakers is the belief there is no need to create a clerical organization, then all faithful are ministers of God. The Quakers lived in recollection and preached the practice of pacifism, solidarity and philanthropy. In order to guarantee their moral purity, they also defended, let alone moderate, attitudes: they refused to pay tithes to the official church, to take oath before the magistrates in the courts or to pay tribute to authorities, including the king. They were still refusing to do military service and take part in wars.

They presented original ideas in 17th-century English absolutist society, and for this reason, they were eventually persecuted by Charles II. For this reason, a large part of the Quakers emigrated to the United States, where, led by William Penn, they created the colony of Pennsylvania in 1681.
