like to feature some of the Spanish Revival kit houses. Spanish Revival architecture was most popular between 1915 and 1931. The Spanish craze swept the country and you can find examples of these residences in every state.

The manifest destiny is known as a emotional upsurge in which millions of Americans in 1840s & 50s believed that God had manifestly destined Americans to control the Western Hemispheres. The mission of this was to spread democracy from “sea to shining sea",. Land greed and ideals joined the potent mix for expansion. The phrase first coined in by John O’Sullivan in a newspaper. He stated “...the right of our manifest destiny to overspread and to possess the whole of the continent which Province has

forced to try and survive elsewhere. “I owned land as far as the eye could see under the Crown of Spain, and I toiled on my earth and gave my Indian sweat and blood for the Spanish master who ruled tyranny over man and beast and all that he could trample. But… THE GROUND WAS MINE.” This is what life was like before the Spanish-American War and before the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This was life before Chicanos were pushed off their land because Anglos fought the documents in court. This is before

several different locations around the world. The top producing wine country is Italy with the United States falling not too far behind in 4th place. The wine that I will be focusing on in this paper is Syrah while the location is Santa Barbara, California. I will also speak about Syrah in relation to Santa Barbara and its significance on the region. Syrah’s place of

Santa Maria is a city in Santa Barbara County, on the Central Coast of California.

Spanish control of goals these goals were achieved by gathering Native people under the control of Spanish priests, backed by the military power of the presidios. At first Natives were allowed to live in traditional dwellings within the mission but eventually replaced these structures with “permanent adobe housing units . . .” that offered a greater degree of control over

Junipero Serra was essentially the founder of the mission system and he set much of the precedent as to how the missions would run and treat the indigenous people. Serra’s work on the missions had large effects on the native people besides just spreading Christianity to the New World.

Just across the street from the Avila adobe, one of the first and oldest existing Spanish settlements in L.A., lays Union station, a building that holds on to the city’s Spanish roots through Spanish mission style architecture.

Marshall wanted to keep this a secret between him and his boss, but word spread quickly, and eventually the whole world knew

The military saw the New World as a place where they could put the Spanish flag. Whereas the Church saw the New World as a place where they could place their cross. Serra, alongside with the military, set out on his mission to convert Native Americans. Serra’s difficult task of converting Native Americans
