A growing consensus amongst Florida politicians was to reignite the Seminole war again in order to clear the land completely of Native presence and finalize the expansion process of the Florida territory.

In 1855 a group of surveyors destroyed the banana trees of the last significant Seminole leader Billy Bow Legs which ignited the third Seminole war. This was the shortest of the three wars as it never consisted of large battles, and instead contained small skirmishes.…

    With such a deep and sincere love of the historical value of the Bulow Plantation, the state park rangers want to share the vast history that once occurred on the 2,200 acres of cleared land owned by the Bulow family. There are several ways the state park rangers promote the land so that as many people can enjoy it as possible. One of the ways they advertise is by attracting active outdoor people to go on the many hiking trails and bicycling trails or for the water lovers to drop a small powerboat at the drop off or canoe and/or kayak through the various channels of water.

    SARATOGA, NEW YORK October 17, 1777 - A British army of nearly 7,000 surrendered today to a combined force of American militia and Continental regulars. "The fortunes of war have made me your prisoner," said British General John Burgoyne as he handed over his sword to his American counterpart, Horatio Gates. "I shall always be ready to testify that it was through no fault of your excellency," Gates replied. News of the huge British defeat spread quickly through the colonies and fueled speculation that the French government would now seriously consider entering the conflict on the American side.

    If you want to avoid a catastrophic climate change within the future of your existence, then the conversion of natural gas to liquid gas is not the answer for the future that you want for the America of tomorrow. So far, LNG plants seem to be the energy source that will bring a solution to the global warming disasters that fossil fuels have caused to the ozone layer, but the process of liquefying natural gas to an energy source is an intensive process. Brownsville is a city where it gets most of its profits out of tourism and the beach. Building an LNG plant will slowly destroy the beach with contamination, thus, making tourist less attracted to Brownsville’s beaches. LNG plant business plan on building their plants along the Brownsville Ship…

    Although the internet has played a significant role in the feminist movement, personally I do not believe we are in a fourth wave of feminism. The utilization of the internet during the feminist movement is enough to emphasize the Third Wave of feminism but not enough to transition society from it into a new wave. During the Third Wave of Feminism, feminists have encouraged acceptance of people regardless of their gender and race as well as encouraged the participation to end the objectification of women and double standards. In one effort to counter double standards, the organization known as, #BanBossy works to empower women and girls to achieve their ambitions without fear of being called “bossy”. Seeing as #BanBossy is considered a Third…
