1.02 Monotheistic Religions In what ways is the Holy Land an important site for all three monotheistic faiths? The Holy land is important to members of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religion because they have lived on the Holy land for generations and have important religious sites located here. The land is holy for Christians because this was where God’s son Jesus was born, crucified and where he resurrected from the dead. For Jews, it contains many Jewish synagogues and this land was promised to them by Yahweh. After a number of Jews were enslaved in Egypt and once freed, Moses helped them escape through the dessert and after over 40 years of traveling in the dessert they finally made it to the promise land by Yahweh which was Canaan.
Around 50, 000 of these new-comers were convicted felons. Not many of these men came over with their families either. These colonists we considered to be of the “middling sort”. Meaning there were neither very rich nor very poor. When the English colonist arrived to our wonderful country, American, they were greeted by our Native Americans.
If you have ever paddled a canoe, napped in a hammock, savored a barbecue, smoked tobacco or tracked a hurricane across Cuba, you have paid tribute to the Taíno, the Indians who invented those words long before they welcomed Christopher Columbus to the New World in 1492. Their world, which had its origins among the Arawak tribes of the Orinoco Delta, gradually spread from Venezuela across the Antilles in waves of voyaging and settlement begun around 400 B.C. Mingling with people already established in the Caribbean, they developed self-sufficient communities on the island of Hispaniola, in what is now Haiti and the Dominican Republic; in Jamaica and eastern Cuba; in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. They cultivated yuca, sweet potatoes, maize, beans and other crops as their culture flourished, reaching its peak by the time of European contact. Some scholars estimate the Taíno population may have reached more than three million on Hispaniola alone as the 15th century drew to a close, with smaller settlements elsewhere in the Caribbean.

The international trade of slaves was prohibited from 1808 but the internal trade of slaves carried on for years to come. The reason I set the dates from 1800-1860 was because I was hoping the database might have data on some illegal voyages during that
There has always been controversy about whether or not Africans were first in the Americas through slavery, which has been proven to be false. Evidence has proved Africans traveled the Americas at least fifty (50) years before Columbus and the Europeans in 1492. Dr. Ivan Van Sertima supports this theory and provides evidence in his book They Came before Columbus: The African Presence in Ancient America. The African craft of seven boats to sail the Niger, twenty boats to sail the Nile, and twelve boats to sail the Indian Ocean were proof that they [Africans], traveled and possibly landed in the Americas. Dr. Ivan Van Sertima speaks of Christopher Columbus’ diary, which spoke of his many voyages and discoveries.

Around the turn of the century, a larger contingent of mainly entrepreneurs and factory workers settled in southern Ontario. By 1914 there were about 2,000 Armenians in Canada. Restrictions classifying Armenians as “Asiatics” effectively stopped immigration until the 1950s, though about 1,300 were admitted as refugees during the 1920s. Many were orphans sponsored by religious or charitable organizations. With the Immigration Act of 1952, Armenians were no longer classified as Asiatics and thus found immigration easier.
