I left these shores, at Vancouver, a red-hot imperialist. I wanted the American eagle to go screaming into the Pacific. It seeme

d tiresome and tame for it to content itself with he Rockies. Why not spread its wings over the Phillippines, I asked myself? And I thought it would be a real good thing to do
I said to myself, here are a people who have suffered for three centuries. We can make them as free as ourselves, give them a government and country of their own, put a miniature of the American constitution afloat in the Pacific, start a brand new republic to take its place among the free nations of the world. It seemed to me a great task to which had addressed ourselves.

But I have thought some more, since then, and I have read carefully the treaty of Paris, and I have seen that we do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Phillippines. We have gone there to conquer, not to redeem…

It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way…I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.

Mark Twain in the New York Herald, October 15, 1900

enot [183]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

`The Restoration brought back Monarchy to England, Wakes, Scotland and Ireland on May 8th, 1660. Charles II was crowned king of England. The restoration took a lot of work, the structure that existed before the Commonwealth was restored, the House of Lords of reinstalled, the Church of England was restored and the ministers too.

The Parliament of England passed the Act of Uniformity in 1662 that prescribed the form of public prayers, administration of sacraments and other rites of the Church of England.
