Answer:
The Catholic Church was slow to respond systematically to the theological and publicity innovations of Luther and the other reformers. The Council of Trent, which met off and on from 1545 through 1563, articulated the Church’s answer to the problems that triggered the Reformation and to the reformers themselves.
The Catholic Church of the Counter-Reformation era grew more spiritual, more literate and more educated. New religious orders, notably the Jesuits, combined rigorous spirituality with a globally minded intellectualism, while mystics such as Teresa of Avila injected new passion into the older orders. Inquisitions, both in Spain and in Rome, were reorganized to fight the threat of Protestant heresy.
Spread of religion and political views
The correct answer is either manifest destiny or the civil war
Because of the civil war and the expenses of maintaining a navy that could blockade Confederate ports, the Navy was constantly losing power and ships and after the war ended most of the 700 initial ships were completely out of service. As manifest destiny and reconstruction began spreading, the government did not focus on rebuilding its navy and a large part of the navy that remained had to focus on things like helping merchants or doing civilian runs in order to be sustained.
Your answer would be D). Western Europe. During the 1600s and 1700s, people that were from Western Europe, mostly people from Great Britain, did not like the way the government worked, and they wanted to have more freedom. Because of that, they became colonists. Colonists are people that settle into a new land and form a colony, and that's what they did. They immigrated from Western Europe to the United States to have more freedom, because the government in Great Britain was very strict at that time. Also, there were a lot of pilgrims that wanted to freely practice their religion, but places in Western Europe didn't allow that, so they also immigrated to the United States so they could practice their religion without worrying about things stopping them. They immigrated to the United States, formed their own colony, and became independent from Great Britain.
