Question

Religious factions also flooded into Alaska. The Presbyterian Church established missions in places like Wrangell, in 1877, and Haines in the 1890s.

Religious factions flooded into Alaska with the first being the Catholic Church.
True
False

Answer 1

False

The statement seems to be a mix of historical facts. While it is true that religious factions, including the Presbyterian Church, established missions in Alaska during the late 19th century, the sentence does not mention that the Catholic Church was the first religious group to arrive in Alaska. In fact, the first Christian missionaries in Alaska were Russian Orthodox, who arrived in the late 18th century, followed by other denominations such as the Catholics, Presbyterians, and Methodists later on.
