end of test

Explanation:

Question 19

Joseph Smith was the founder of the Latter - day Saint movement. One of the practices of his followers that led to persecution was polygamy. Idolatory is not associated with his followers, cannibalism is not a practice of them, and devotion to Mary is more related to Catholic traditions rather than the Latter - day Saint movement.

The Oregon Territory was claimed by the United States and England (Great Britain) during the period of westward expansion in North America. Canada was not an independent country at that time to claim it, France had other territorial claims in North America but not the Oregon Territory, and Mexico's territorial claims were more in the southwestern part of what is now the US.

Answer:

C. polygamy
