Best Answer

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. There really is no such thing as "British Catholic" or "American Catholic" other than a Catholic who lives in those areas. It has always just been "Catholic" before and after the Council of Niceae.

Why did the british seize American sailors?

In the relatively brief interval between the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Britain had not fully accepted that America had become an independent nation rather than a British colony, and it seized American sailors in order to impress them (or draft them, as we would say in more modern language) into the British navy, which was always in need of more sailors.


Why did the colonists object to Quebec Act?

The Quebec Act of 1774 was passed by the British Parliament. The act, among other things, legalized the Catholic religion in Quebec and also granted Quebec independent power to govern itself. Both were viewed as threats to the American Colonies; many colonists feared Catholics and by 1774 the American Colonies were continually being stripped of their authority and power to govern themselves. They viewed Quebec as being set up as a launching point for the British military.
