For example, Fernando De Rivera y Moncada built missions in San Diego and San Juan Capistrano in 1775-1776.

Piracy of the Caribbean It seems to be common knowledge that murder, thievery, and full blown naval warfare supposedly plagued the Caribbean Sea from the 1600’s to the 1800’s. Countless tons of priceless goods such as spices, gems, rare metals, and silks were snatched right from under merchant noses (Hanna 42).

It includes elements of matter-of-fact narrative, the fantastic and the mundane. Throughout the story characters are always asked why they didn’t tell anyone about the Vicario brothers plan. In the

Dartmouth College v. Woodward (1819) Living in the 1800’s was not an easy task. This was the time of child labor and little to no education for kids. The time of having to walk 2-3 miles anywhere and making sure the crops were well enough to sell in the markets. The time of Westward Expansion and the genocide of Native Americans. Eleazar Wheelock, a Puritan minister from Columbia, CT was the one who founded Dartmouth. He initially established the school to train Native Americans as Christian missionaries

In 1787, our founding fathers came up with a few principles that would establish what we now know as the United States of America. These principles were put on paper to serve as a guideline for how the United States would be operated and structured. This historical piece paper became known as the Constitution of the United States.

The Articles of Confederation were adopted November 15, 1777 and remained the sole form of government until it was replaced by the current United States Constitution in 1788 for its lack of efficiency in running the country. Federalists and Anti-Federalists argued endlessly over the pros and cons of the

According to Article One, Section Eight, Congress has the power “To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;” This means that Congress must be consulted before going to war and has the power to not only declare war, but also the power to raise an army and navy, to fund war effort; however, the President, in Article II, is named commander-in-chief of the armed forces, but this does not give him the power to commit armed forces to war

Many of you think that gun control is a good thing, but how good can such an idea really be? The people who know me are well aware that I am a right wing conservative republican and have been for quite some time. I didn’t always have this political stance.
