The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The factors that shaped U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East during George H.W. Bush’s administration were the following.

After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush administration decided to change its foreign policy in the Middle East and took several measurements to fight the terrorist groups in that area. First, President George W. H. Bush ordered the attack of Afghanistan to end the terrorist cell led by Osama bin Laden. Secondly, he decided to invade Irak to capture Sadam Hussein, under the argument that Irak had weapons of mass destruction.

I do not agree with this approach of the Bush administration in the invasion of Irak. The reason why is that the Security Council of the United Nations had sent experts to confirm the existence of these supposed weapons but they had not found anything. So without the approval of the Security Council, Bush sent the US troops with the support of Great Britain and invaded Irak. The controversial thing is that after so many years, nobody has found weapons of mass destruction in Irak.

b)

it created free trade throughout the colonial territories.

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
