Desiderius Erasmus (1466 – 1536) was a Dutch Christian humanist and a main figure of northern Renaissance. He was very critical with some practices and abuses perpetrated by the Catholic Church, but he never supported the principles of Luther's Reformation. He highlighted the need for a reform but he continued recognizing the Pope and other religious authorities, in opposition to protestantism with rejects the legitimacy of church leaders and focuses principally on faith. Therefore his reformist approach was denominated Via Media.
Erasmus opposed the abussive practice generalized in the Catholic Church of selling indulgences. Basically people were spending money in paying for the removal of their sins and to guarantee that they would go to heaven after death. Like many other Christian scholars Erasmus critized this practice and stated that the power of grating pardon is only in the hands of God.
The French and Indian War is an extension of the Seven Years’
War of 1756-63 that pitted the colonies of British America against New France.
The French were defeated and lost vast territories, including Canada and French
Louisiana. The Brits gained land east of the Mississippi River and removed
French threat to its thirteen colonies. The conflict trained many American
officers, including Washington, that would later fight in the Revolutionary
War. The Brits Empire grew substantially, but the war incurred great debts. The
Brits tried to tax the colonies more in order to pay the debt, causing the
colonies to unite just in time for the Revolutionary war.
