    In the primary source, “Plan for the Erection of Government, c. 1768,” Don Jose de Galvez writes about why he believes the Spanish government should take notice and action upon Alta California. Galvez, mentions in his letter to the Marques de Croix that other foreign nations were taking interest in Alta California and they only way to protect the Spanish from “the dangers that threaten” them. This primary document made me understand more as to why the Spanish finally took action into colonizing Alta California because this letter depicts the foreign nation interest as a type of threat that must be averted. However, Galvez had never been to California, so this doesn’t lead us to believe that Galvez was an expert on this foreign nation situation. On the other hand, Galvez did have another strong reason to begin colonizing California, which was to establish ports in Monterrey and other good harbors.…

    Hernando de Soto stated that capital is like energy and that it is a dormant value. However, we know how to create energy like burning wood in stove produces energy in the form of heat to cook food, boil water, or warm a home. The same cannot be said with capital. We have a pretty good idea what it is, but we are not as good at turning capital into economic potential. De Soto also defines capital as the parallel life of an asset.…

    Greetings citizens of Fayetteville and North Carolina. It has been almost 4 years since we have been under the rule of northerner, Abraham Lincoln, who has placed us further into being the minority of the government. A couple of days ago, Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address describing that, “this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” It does not make much sense that he wants to perfect the Union knowing that the Southern states are not being represented fairly in the government. We, southerners, did not elect Lincoln to be in office.…

    The citizens of this country do not get to practice their right to vote and elect a president they believe will be good for their country, so they do not get to expand their cultural horizon and find out what truly will be good for their country. The crisis in Venezuela has happened in several other South American countries such as Colombia and El Salvador as well. Another example of the government interfering in people’s lives and preventing them from learning who they, as people, truly are is North Korea. North Korea is one of the countries that participates in a dictatorship for a government and has strict laws against what the…
