Why did george washingtion's contiental army always have too few soldiers?                                                                          

a. king george paid them to stay home instead of joining the war.                                                                                                 
b. the patriots were not able to spread word of the revolution through the colonies.                                                 
c. the men preferred the conditions of serving  in their local militias instead.                                                                             
d. the men preferred to join the strong continental navy instead.

b. major john c. frémont led a rebellion called the bear flag revolt.

explanation:

during the bear flag revolt, from june to july 1846, a small group of american settlers in california rebelled against the mexican government and proclaimed california an independent republic. the republic was short-lived because soon after the bear flag was raised, the u.s. military began occupying california, which went on to join the union in 1850. the bear flag became the official state flag in 1911.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
