Today we finished watching the video of "God in America." The last part of the video was about how more and more people started to migrate to the East coast. It was mostly Irish people who came to the East coast. Irish people were Catholic and in New York the people were Protestants. The Irish wanted people to convert in Catholics. The Protestants began to to make schools but in the schools the only taught about the religion of the Protestants. New York was an anti Catholic and so the teachers made the kids think that Catholicism was bad and the Protestant religion was good. A lot of Catholics got mad and they made their children drop out of school. Soon the Catholics went to a Catholic Bishop (John). He was a very religious people and he said he would help them make schools for Catholics. He went to debate with the government to get money to make catholic schools. He thought it wasn't fair that only Protestants could make schools but not Catholics. He was sure he was going to get money to make the schools but the he lost 15-1. It was clearly that he was going to loose because all the people from the government were Protestants. He got no money to make Catholics schools. But then he thought about it and saw that they could make schools because they didn't have to depend on the government. Then we saw the first part of a video which is called "Making a Revolution." It was about what the Albany Plan is. The Albany plan indicates that the British needed to get as many colonies together and discuss on how they protect themselves from Attacks for the Indians, Spanish, and French. Also the colonists got mad because the proclamation act was passed because they couldn't get land and they had to pay money for tax which was for the troops. Also they had writs of assistance which is a search warrant to stop smuggling and trade with the enemies.
