205 Words1 Page

She wanted peace with everyone, believing wars were expensive and peace is cheap, but after several assassination attempts Queen Elizabeth recognized the need for her enemies’ death. Queen Elizabeth was a Protestant and was constantly in danger of being assassinated by Catholics who wanted to replace her with the Queen of Scots, Mary. England at the time had no separation between the church and the state, so traditionally, the country was ruled politically by the king and spiritually by the Roman Catholic Church. There were deep tensions between Protestants

    According to the President’s Commission on the Assassination of Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald did kill President Kennedy by himself.

The Puritans attempted to close theaters, and, according to scholar R. Balfour Daniels “sought to circumscribe life and hold it in with a stern and austere restraint” (Daniels, 41). Additionally, Elizabethan England had three contradictory and competing forms of Christianity. The Anglican Church, also known as Protestantism, was used in government and the official religion of the Queen, and any who criticized it were often killed. Puritans opposed the Protestants, and Catholics, the more traditional sect, was practiced by a significant minority (Raffel, 38-39).
