The wave of exploration that began with Columbus’ voyage in 1492 didn’t take long to reach the land that is now Texas. Spain’s conquest of the Americas began on a series of islands in what is now the Caribbean Sea. New colonial cities on those islands soon became hubs for exploration of the mainland. By 1519, exploration had turned to conquest in what is now Mexico, when Hernán Cortés landed on the Yucatán peninsula then pushed inland to the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.
To the north, on the gulf coast, the focus remained on exploration. A 1519 expedition led by Alonzo Álvarez de Pineda sailed west from Florida toward Mexico, mapping the coastline as they traveled. That map, which is still in existence, shows a long and curving coastline that we can recognize even today. It’s the first map showing the land that became Texas.
There’s no evidence that the Pineda expedition came ashore in Texas, although it’s likely they stopped somewhere along the coast to restock their supplies of food and water. A later group of explorers gets credit for being the first people from the Old World to set foot on the Texas shore. They were survivors of a failed expedition to colonize Florida, shipwrecked in November of 1528 on the Texas coast after fleeing Florida in makeshift boats.
Some 80 men wrecked on a barrier island – perhaps present-day Galveston. The group included a Moorish slaved named Estevanico, the first African to enter what is now Texas. But, the most well-known is Álvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca. For eight years, he traveled through Texas and the Southwest, living sometimes as a trader, and sometimes as a slave. In 1536, Cabeza de Vaca and a handful of companions traveled across North America to a Spanish outpost on the Gulf of California. He returned with fantastic tales to tell. That story can be read today in La Relacion, an account of his journey, published in 1542. The account also provides valuable information about the lives of Native American groups who lived here when the Age of Contact began.
Word of Cabeza de Vaca’s journey spread quickly. Fascinated by Cabeza de Vaca’s account and enticed by the potential riches in the area, other Spanish explorers left for Texas in hopes of finding treasure. The first was Francisco Vásquez de Coronado, sent by the Viceroy in Mexico City to find the Seven Cities of Cibola. Coronado did not find gold, but his route did cross what is now the panhandle of Texas, where traces of his massive expedition can still be found.
An expedition led by Luis Moscoso de Alvarado, survivors of another failed mission to Florida, entered east Texas – probably in the summer of 1542. They encountered the Caddo Indians, and perhaps reached the Guadalupe River, but many questions remain about the route they traveled in the state.
In 1598, another Spanish explorer, Juan de Oñate, crossed the Rio Grande near present-day El Paso. He was traveling to colonize what is now New Mexico. An inscription carved into a stone there offers a powerful reminder of those early European explorers, and of the change they brought when they came.
Many Spanish explorers came to the region in search of wealth and treasure, but no one found the abundant treasure they sought. By the mid-1500s, the Spanish government’s interest had begun to wane, and by the turn of the century large expeditions to Texas had come to an end.
But the Spanish weren’t the only power with an interest in the Americas. By the beginning of the seventeenth century, France and England had also claimed large areas – the English along the mid-Atlantic coast, and the French in present-day Canada. The French explorer, René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, set out for the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, which had already been claimed by Spain. He left France in 1684 with the intention of establishing a French fort at the mouth of the Mississippi River. But La Salle’s expedition strayed far from its original course, and landed at present-day Matagorda Bay, Texas. He lost two ships in the bay, including the La Belle. That ship’s remains were discovered and excavated in modern times, providing artifacts and a wealth of information that we can study today.
La Salle did establish a fort, which was built along Garcitas Creek far from the Mississippi. Like so many other expeditions, La Salle’s ultimately failed. He was murdered by his own men, and by 1689, disease, hunger and attacks from the neighboring Karankawa had killed almost all of the remaining members of La Salle’s entourage.
Despite the failure of La Salle’s Fort Saint Louis, the French presence revived Spain’s interest in the area. An expedition led by Alonzo De León rescued some of the survivors from La Salle’s colony and strengthened Spain’s presence in the area. Then, in 1690, a group of Franciscans established the first missions in East Texas. It was the beginning of a wave of Spanish missions and colonies, including many that can still be seen today.

In the United States, all powers not explicitly outlined in the Constitution are held by the constituent states; these are referred to as which of the following selections?
Answer:
Explanation:
1.Sourcing: This rebellion against the Jamestown government was led by Nathaniel Bacon. He also wrote this document to gather support for this rebellion. Given this information, what kind of biases would we expect to find in this document?
2.Corroboration: If you wanted to confirm the truth of these events and accusations that Nathaniel Bacon is referring to in his declaration, what other kinds of historical documents could you analyze?
Answer:
1. Personal Bias, or opinions because Nathaniel Bacon wrote documents over the rebellion. There could be missing information.
2. Diaries from men fighting with Bacon, and also Government files.
Explanation:
These are the most reliable sources to look at because you might have stories from this that could've been different and others very opinionated.
The kind of biases one would expect to find in this document is known as Personal Bias.
This is because Personal Bias is a type of Bias in which an individual do, act, speak or write things that are considered to be favorable or prejudicial, to his cause or interests.
In this case, given that Nathaniel Bacon led the rebellion, it is expected that the document he wrote will contain personal bias as he would want to write things that favor him when the readers read it.
On the other hand, to confirm the truth of these events and accusations that Nathaniel Bacon is referring to in his declaration, the other kinds of historical documents one could analyze are:
Diaries of those not on the side of rebellion nor the government.Accounts of the government.This is because the government can't support him through their accounts of the events, except it is the truth.
Also, the account of the person that is not attached to the rebellion nor the government would be considered fairly accurate.
Hence, in this case, it can be concluded that the answer to the first part is "Personal Bias." While the second part is Accounts of events from other people like the government and observers.

A person who does not care about national anthem
C
A person who wants to change the national anthem
D
A person who does not like God Bless America
Answer:
C- A person who wants to change the national anthem.

This is because they want the anthem to be easier to sing, so they would likely want to change it to be easier. B is incorrect because to a person who doesnt care about the anthem, they would not care if it was easy or hard to sing. It is not A because someone who likes the anthem would not want it to be easier, they would like it the way it is. Finally, D is wrong because God bless America isnt even the National anthem. It just doesnt make sense.

Using your discussions and the reading, compose a response that summarizes how the Triangular Trade route operates and explain the impact of the Atlantic Slave Trade on West Africa and the Americas.
Answer and Explanation:
The Triangular Trade Route was a commercial chain established between Europe, the colonies of the American continent and Africa. This route begins with the export of cattle, fish and timber from North America to Central America. The individuals who took these products to Central America, took advantage of the trip to import rum, sugar and molasses to North America, which were used for domestic consumption and to manufacture run on a large scale and to practice the purchase of slaves on the coast. from Africa. These slaves left Africa to North America and from there they were resold to colonies in South America, which produced sugar on a large scale and exported to European regions, mainly Portugal and Spain.
As you can see, this route had a strong slave trade that was used in almost all of America, mainly Portuguese America, where Brazil is currently located. These slaves were taken to carry out forced labor on farms, especially sugar producers in Brazil. However, these slave systems were used throughout America, causing a strong agricultural production. This also affected Europe, as this strong agricultural production gave access to many essential products for a good quality of life, in addition to enriching European crowns. However, this trade had a negative impact in Africa, where there was a lot of trafficking in people, who were treated inhumanly.

What hindered Ashoka from going into Tibet?
Answer:
It has something to do with Muslims and Hindus. The short paragraph below is from a website. It is the online article you will find when you look this up.
Explanation:
Tibetan Buddhism has exerted a considerable influence in the Himalayan areas situated along Tibet’s southern border. In Nepal Buddhism interacted with both India and Tibet. Although there is evidence that suggests that the Buddha was born in the southern part of the area that is now Nepal—at Lumbini, about 15 miles (24 km) from Kapilavatthu (Kapilavastu)—Buddhism seems to have been actively propagated only later, probably under Ashoka. By the 8th century Nepal had fallen into the cultural orbit of Tibet. A few centuries later, as a result of the Muslim invasions of India, both Hindus (such as the Brahmanic Gurkha aristocracy) and Buddhists took refuge in the country. The Tibetan influence on the Himalayan tradition is indicated by the presence of Tibetan-style prayer wheels and flags. The Indian heritage is especially evident in the caste system that embraces Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. In the late 20th century a significant Theravada reform movement took root among the Newari population. The adherents of this movement, who have important connections with Theravada practitioners in Myanmar and Sri Lanka, oppose the maintenance of traditional caste distinctions.
