For decades, people believed and did everything the Roman Catholic Church told them because there were no documents or no other proof of scientific knowledge to go on. Friendship should be spread through the whole world of learning…(Document 9)” You will learn better if you are friends because you can exchange information and find out more than if you were enemies.

In 1820, a politician by the name of Henry Clay decided to help work out a compromise that would keep the balance the North and South. Clay suggested that Congress should admit Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state. The official proposal was passed in March of 1820 and prohibited slavery from any territories in the Louisiana Purchase that was North of 36°30’ latitude. (The American Journey Page 320,437, and 438) Almost thirty years later, a dispute over slavery broke out in Congress because a bill was introduced by Illinois senator Stephen Douglas. Douglas originally wanted to run for president but in order to do that he needed the support of the Southern Democrats. With Douglas trying to win over both northerners and southerners, the Kansas-Nebraska act proclaimed that Kansas and Nebraska territories would have the choice to be a free or slave state.

While others were tired of staying at the camp and started to quit. If you were a soldier, would you have quit Washington’s Winter Camp? If I was a soldier, I would not quit because there was not a lot of dying people, Washington is getting help from the Committee, and valuable things like freedom is worth fighting for so I don’t want to be a “ summer soldier.”

Around the 15th century, when the Americas were discovered, Europe was going through a great religious change. There were many disputes in Europe about the Roman Catholic Church and its teachings. Later, the two prominent religious figures that completely impacted the way people view religion in a different light were a German monk named Martin Luther, and a Frenchman named John Calvin. That’s when they started a religious reformation. Some countries, such as France and England, were most affected by the sudden change, which caused them to become slow to colonize in the New World. However, the Spanish and the Portuguese were unaffected and were the first to arrive in America, so their Catholic church and beliefs also went with them. Thus, Catholicism

In document four, the data showed that there were less wealthy and less well to do in the northern states and in the middle states there were less wealthy between 1765 and 1785. This shows that America’s economics and sustainability were lowered and not as good as it used to be. In document 6, in 1819 a African American valedictorian gave a speech about how no one will employ him, white boys won’t work with him, and white clerks won’t associate with him.

I have overcome the world.” This verse
