    Bacon's Rebellion most clearly exposed

    • Class differences

    • Poverty

    • Frontiier life

    • Illegal armies

    Correct Answer
    A. Class differences
    Explanation
    Bacon's Rebellion, which occurred in 1676 in colonial Virginia, exposed the stark class differences that existed in society at that time. The rebellion was led by Nathaniel Bacon, a wealthy planter who rallied lower-class farmers and indentured servants against the colonial government. The uprising highlighted the grievances of the lower classes, who felt marginalized and oppressed by the wealthy elite. The rebellion ultimately failed, but it revealed the deep divisions and inequalities within colonial society, particularly between the wealthy landowners and the lower classes.

    The "City on a Hill" best reflects the Puritan motive of creating

    • A new religion

    • An economic success

    • A moral society

    • A democratic government

    Correct Answer
    A. A moral society
    Explanation
    The phrase "City on a Hill" is derived from a sermon given by John Winthrop, a Puritan leader, in which he expressed the idea that the Puritan colony in New England would serve as a shining example to the world. This phrase has come to symbolize the Puritan motive of creating a moral society. The Puritans sought to establish a community based on strict moral and religious principles, with a focus on individual and communal piety. They believed that by living virtuously and adhering to their religious beliefs, they could inspire others to do the same and create a society that was morally upright.

     1Social and religious diversity developed in Pennsylvania for all these reasons EXCEPT

    • William Penn's leadership

    • Quaker principles

    • Principles of fairness

    • Puritan principles

    Correct Answer
    A. Puritan principles
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Puritan principles. Pennsylvania developed social and religious diversity due to factors such as William Penn's leadership, Quaker principles, and principles of fairness. However, Puritan principles did not contribute to this diversity in Pennsylvania. Puritans had a different set of beliefs and practices compared to Quakers, which led to a lack of diversity in terms of religious beliefs.
