Answer:

William Henry Sheppard should be remembered because he was the first African American missionary for the Presbyterian Church.

William Henry Sheppard was born as the son of hairdresser William Henry Sheppard the Elder and Fannie Frances Sheppard, who were released from slavery a month before the end of the Civil War. At the age of twelve, William Junior was stabled for two years with a white family. He then worked as a waiter and, in the evening, went through the recently founded Hampton Institute, where Booker T. Washington was one of his teachers. After graduating there, he studied at the Tuscaloosa Theological Institute (now Stillman College) in Alabama. He was ordained a priest in 1888 and became a pastor of a church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Sheppard came to Congo in about 1890. He spent 20 years in Africa, especially in the Congo Free State, and he is best known for publishing material on the Belgian genocide during the Leopold II regime against the Congolese.

In 1891, Sheppard began to work with Presbyterian missionary William McCutchan Morrison. They reported crimes they saw and later founded the Congo Reform Association together with Roger Casement, one of the first humanitarian organizations in the world. After becoming acquainted with language and culture, Sheppard brought with him a group of men across the border to the Kuba Kingdom in 1892, where he was arrested by Prince N'toinzide for illegal presence. However, King Kot aMweeky took him under his protection and Sheppard was able to collect artifacts and eventually be allowed to later establish a Presbyterian mission.

In January 1908, Sheppard published a report of colonial abuse in the American Presbyterian Congo Mission magazine. Sheppard's activities contributed to the contemporary debate on European colonialism and imperialism in Africa.

Answer:

Nullification crisis.

Explanation:

The American Revolutionary War was a war of independence of the United States of America that was fought between the 19th of April, 1775 and 3rd of September, 1783. The war started when the delegates from the thirteen (13) American colonies in Congress (First continental congress) revolted against the Great Britain over their lack of representation in the colonies and refusal to give consent to parliament's taxation such as Stamp Act and Townshend Acts.

The Declaration of Independence was written by President Thomas Jefferson to record the proclamation of the Second Continental Congress which declared American Colonies free from Great Britain.

Basically, the Declaration of Independence is a public Act through which the American Colonies were legally declared free from Great Britain by the Second Continental Congress on the 4th of July, 1776. It was signed by the 56 delegates at the Second Continental Congress.

Nullification crisis is the name of the event when South Carolina (SC) seceded from the Union, but then returned since no one joined them.

1. Compare the values and beliefs of Native Americans in North America at the time of English-European settlement with that of t
Mrrafil [7]

1. The Native Americans in North America lived in groups called tribes, each tribe had their own culture and their way of surviving. Some of them were hunters others were farmers, they also spoke different languages and had their own religious beliefs, many tribes shared the same beliefs others did not.

The English-Europeans had a different society, they did not live in groups, they shared the same language - English - and shared the same beliefs - Christianity -. Different from Native Americans Europeans shared the same social codes - their society was divided by the concept of money and faith.

This is the most important difference between Native Americans and English-Europeans, Native Americans did not have the concept of money and profit. They only had the concept of trade and some of them did not even had a trade system since many lived in tribes.

2. American Puritanism was originated from the reform movement in the Church of England, many of the Puritans fled to America because of religious persecution, they questioned the Catholic rituals that the Church of England continued to practice.

Puritans influenced American culture and society because Puritanism is more than religion it is a philosophy of life and living values.

First, Puritanism influenced American individualism, Puritanism values self-reliance, privacy and mutual respect.

Puritanism also influenced American democracy because they believed that God created all men equally and that all men deserve natural rights, which also influenced the Declaration of Independence.

Puritanism also pushed America to Manifest Destiny by creating a sense of mission to spread social justice and liberty across the world, this belief was imported from the Bible.
