Ugh, Euro last year was the death of me.

Or maybe it was because, in all honesty, I had a teacher WHO DID NOT TEACH AT ALL! He instead had us coloring in Scooby Doo pictures - no joke.

(To Elphie) I'm thinking A, right? Although I would feel pretty stupid if I got that one wrong.

The Puritans came to America to escape Religious Persecution.


Ironicaly, what was their attitude toward non-Puritans who tried to settle in the Bay Colony?

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 5/3/05 at 7:28pm

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's A.

They didn't like non-Puritans.

Huh? Which one are we talking about? I thought we were talking about the confederacy.

They wanted to set an example for others ( a "City upon a Hill") yet they did not accept people who were not Puritans.

Sorry, Ashley. I responded to you and M-E in the same post.

Simply Put:

The Puritans Stated: "If You Do Not Believe The Same as We--Then You Are Free To Leave."


Which is the first "planned" City in America?

Jamestown?

I am going to the library. I'll be back soon.

The first planned City in America was Philadelphia--per the orders of William Penn himself.


What was the first city to serve as Capitol of the United States of America--IMMEDIATELY after The Constitution was adopted?

Oooh. I was way off on that last one. I'll probably be way off on this one too, but I'll take a stab- Albany?

The first PLANNED City was Philadelphia--per the instructions of William Penn himself.


What was the House Committee on Un-American Activities? Who lead it?

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 5/3/05 at 9:13pm

Was that McCarthy? I know it "spied" on people or something to make sure they weren't communists. Something like that.

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 5/3/05 at 9:19pm

The House on Un-American Activities was a direct outgrowth of The Cold War. Its purpose was to "finger out" Communists in America--and went after many "High Profile" people--especially in the Entertainment Industry.

Unfortunately, its M.O. was very similar to the Salem Witch Trials--if someone accused you--you were then Guilty until proved Innocent. MANY cooperated with the Committee--just to be prevented from being named themselves.

And yes, the Chairperson was Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin.
