They decided to use a quarter meridian, the distance from the North Pole to the equator, as a reference of measurement. However, the exact length of the meridian was currently unknown. In order to determine as precisely as possible the size of the Earth, several teams about 7 years to measure the length of as long a segment of a meridian as possible.

Spanish Exploration lasted from 1492-1588 and impacted the development of the New World. This is significant because it featured the Columbian Exchange, which was the exchange of food, vegetation, resources, and diseases. For example, the exchange of diseases lead to the unintended consequence of almost wiping out the Tanio Native population toward extinction. While this happened, at the same time the Treaty of Tordesillas was established, which separated Spain and Portugal’s claim on the New World. As a result, it exposed the New World to the three G’s- gold, glory, and God.…

History is always trying to be decoded in different ways. Geoff Eley, author of in A Crooked Line, attempts to describe the quick transformation between 1970 to 1980 from social history to cultural history because of dramatic reforms in political standpoints and the linguistic turn of the social history that was studied in earlier years. The goals of Eley’s book is to not only describe how the world changed from studying social history to cultural history but also to highlight the importance of accepting change in how we study history and how instead of shunning interdisciplinary work, it would be promoted since it can provide dozens of new ways to analyze the past. To better understand this Eley provides a personal narrative and ties together…
The Mason-Dixon Line was created in the 1760‘s as a survey line to settle a property dispute between the colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania. Originally the Mason-Dixon line was a boundary, in the late 18th century and the early 19th century the line developed into the boundary between Free and Slave states.
