- 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
- 00:48

history class Well answer c is correct In paragraph to
- 01:39
alexis says that each colony used to be governed separately
