Neither, because the power dynamic shifted between the church and the kings.
I answered this same question a few years ago
The Americans were upset over the Stamp Act because Great Britain imposed an internal tax on all paper documents in her colonies. If the Americans wanted anything printed, it had to be printed in the United Kingdom and there was a tax or levy imposed on the printed documents. The reason for the Stamp Act was that Great Britain was in debt after the Seven Years War, and she was looking to recoup her losses after the war. Needless to say, the Americans were very unhappy that they were being punished for the war.
The author of "The champion of the world" relates the outcome of the fight with the continuation of African American freedom. If the black fighter, Joe Louis, loses, it would be "another lynching, yet another Black man hanging on a tree. One more woman ambushed and r*ped." It would represent the end of African American pride, "If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes."
The other ones listening to the broadcast with her feels the same as it shown with the large celebration when Joe Louis wins. "People drank Coca-Colas like ambrosia and ate candy bars like Christmas."
