brought to you by the mother country She sent it

00:08

along with an extra pair of warm socks and some

00:10

brownies All right check the following passage from democracy in

00:13

america Alexis to toqueville All right thirteen colonies prevent religion

00:18

Same loss with fellow david and control Ok and we're

00:22

done Here we go According to the author which of

00:25

the following factors most strongly influenced the colony's tendency to

00:31

divide and hear the potential answers All right religious linguistic

00:35

lost Okay well no trick questions here people We just

00:40

need to make sure we're given the passenger close Reid

00:43

so that we know exactly what alexis to toqueville thinks

00:46

about all this If we don't feel like reading Well

01:31

the term state's rights so we can just get rid
