Millions of natives in the New World died due to European illness making it easier for the Spanish Conquistadors to move in and take over much of the Americas. Balboa in 1513 discovers the Ithsmas of Panama and becomes the first European to set eyes on the Pacific Ocean from the east. The explorations to the new world continued and 1519-1522- Magellan sailed around the world proving that Columbus did not find
De Leon was one of the first Europeans to see the small island of Borinquen, which is the Indian name for Puerto Rico. Ponce de Leon sailed to Puerto Rico in 1506 with 200 hundred men to the island to find rich gold deposits. De Leon forced enslaved natives to mine
There was a leader of the slaves her name was nunu. She had a son who was considered enemy because his father was white and raped nunu. She was the one that started a group that would go out at night and try to plan a way to get out of the farm. Shola had a person that she loved his name was shango and he was against the slavery system all together. Nunu son was with the system because he was the head of all the slaves and was the one who had to punish the slaves if they got in trouble.
Cabrillo hoped to find a wealthy city know as Cibola, and somewhere in the Pacific coast, and a connecting route to the Northwest Passage. The expedition sailed out of the port of Navidad, on June 1542 and brought with him a crew of sailors, soldiers, and Indians in three ships. By the end of the month Cabrillo passed Baja Point and entered uncharted waters, where no Spanish ships gone before. On the 28th of September he landed on an island which he named San Salvador, after his flagship. They reached as far north as the Russian River before the autumn storms forced them to turn back to San Salvador on November 23, 1542.
In 1535, I sailed to Mexico with Antonio de Mendoza, the colony’s first Admiral. I became one of the governors of New Galacia (one of the Spanish colonies in the New World). Searching for the Seven Cities of Gold Between 1536 and 1539, Admiral Mendoza heard stories about the Seven Cities of Cibolo, the Seven Cities of Gold where the streets and houses were made of gold and jewels. He sent me on an expedition to find them and claim the wealth for Spain. In 1540 I set out with 300 soldiers and about 1,000 Indians.
Along with about 600 native associates, the Spaniards set up base in one of the Aztec's many ceremonial temples. During all these events, Governor Velazquez sent a fleet under soldier Panfilo de Narvaez to Mexico. Cortez knew of this and marched with a small group to the coast where he captured Panfilo de Narvaez, and persuaded most of the soldiers to join his band. When they returned to Tenochtitlan, an Aztec revolt had progressed too far. Montezuma died from a stoning three days after asking the Aztec people to calm down.
The History of Fort Matanzas and the Castillo De San Marcos St. Augustine, Florida is home to two of the most famous and historical forts in the United States: Fort Matanzas and the Castillo De San Marcos. Every year people travel to the oldest city in America (St. Augustine) to visit these amazing structures. Even more amazing is the vast history behind their construction. That being said, one cannot properly recite the history of Fort Matanzas without first explaining its reason for existence: St. Augustine and the Castillo De San Marcos. In 1565, Pedro Menendez founded the city of St. Augustine in the name of Spain.
But rather than waiting on being attacked, Cortes determined to anticipate them. He had some of the city lords called saying that he wished to speak to them and shut them in the chamber by themselves. After the five hour firing to some houses and towers where natives defended themselves, Cortes and his army with the help of Tascaltecal and Cempoal natives, forced all the people out of the city. 3. After evaluating Cortes letter to the king, I believe that it is subjective towards the Native American civilization.
Caesar pushed Pompey's measures through, helped Crassus' proposals, and got for himself a five-year term as Proconsul of Gaul after his consulship was over. | 58 BC | Caesar left Rome for Gaul to conquer more land for the Republic to inhabit. | 56 BC | The First Triumvirate met in Caesar's province to renew their coalition. Pompey and Crassus were to become consuls again and Caesar’s command in Gaul was extended to 49 BC. | 54 BC | Caesar led a three month expedition of the first Roman crossing of the English Channel to Britain but did not establish a permanent base there.
Instead of admitting to their heinous actions, the three men sought help from their willing ‘brothers’ to bully and persuade black and white people alike into submission and essentially cover-up the whole incident. I understand that in the face of punishment, people will do anything to ‘get away with murder’, but how can so many people feel no remorse in essentially erasing one man’s existence? It is sickening to realize that the KKK could be so effective in brainwashing an entire town. Meanwhile, the African American community likewise gave into emotion and engaged in a poorly thought out and executed plan of retaliation. Instead of fighting for Marrow’s justice and their own rights in a civil manner, the African Americans in Oxford choose to cause more damage by creating chaos and classifying
