2. To what extent did Stephen F. Austin succeed or fail at continuing the dreams of his father?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

To what extent did Stephen F. Austin succeed or fail at continuing the dreams of his father?

I consider that Stephen F. Austin succeeded at continuing his fathers' dream of colonizing the region of Texas.

After the death of his father Moses, Stephen Fuller Austin (1793-1836) committed himself to the venture of colonizing the region of Texas. He had shown skills to be a good leader and business since he had studied in New Orleans. So Stephen was true to the wishes of his father and continued with the project of the colonization of Texas. Once the family had the approval of the Spanish governor, Stephen started to take Americans to Texas in 1821. After Mexico won the War of Independence against the Spanish crown Stephen had to travel to México to negotiate with the Mexican authorities to respect the grant given by the Spanish governor. He succeeded and successfully proceeded with colonization.

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.
