New Territories

southwestern part of the country. The state is to the west of Colorado, just north of Mexico, west of New Mexico and east of California. The absolute location is the precise location of an area, and for Arizona that is 34.00 degrees north, 112.00 degrees west. I’m new to Arizona. I moved here in May of 2014, and I don’t know much of anything about the state so I’m interested to learn more about my new home. Arizona has a few different topographical areas that cover the state. It has the desert…

Throughout these four chapters many things stood out to me. I found it interesting that Native Americans were welcoming of the new comers to their land, but for their European counterparts they did not welcome them into their new home in the New World. In history the white man has always had more power over the people who were not the same color. It has stayed a constant theme within history, when white men arrive to a certain location they either take everything and go or take everything and…

should invite the youth worker into a life of self-sacrifice and service (19), laying aside their own social agenda (18), in order to enter the territory where ‘young people feel at home, be it the local part, shops, pubs or schools (1992:30). Using Phil. 2, Ward believes that the youth minister giving up certain things to meet with young people on their territory is actually ‘doing exactly the same thing Jesus did when he became a human being’ (31). There is much to respect in this use of…

Mexicans. The Mexicans told the Americans if they do not follow the laws they would have to leave Texas. The Americans also had a need to expand their country. That need is called manifest destiny, the Americans loved the idea of expanding their territory. The idea of manifest destiny came from this journalist named John O’Sullivan. There was a President that had views on expanding the United States, he is President James K. Polk. He was interested in purchasing Oregon and California,…

The occupation of conquered territory began following the Texas and Mexican-American wars and U.S. aggressions. It cost 12,000 lives and $10m, for a gain of a colony 2.5 times as big as France, rich farmland, natural resources like gold, silver, zinc, oil, and uranium, stimulated commerce and industry (mining, agriculture and stock), ports and ocean access. Mexico was left shrunken, and hindered in its ability to build its economy. The wars left a legacy of hatred. They left immediate losses,…

economic, and cultural. One of the most important cultural inheritances of the country is the language - Arabic. It is one of the oldest languages of the region. It includes different elements of the various people groups, who once lived in that territory. But except for the language, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has its own complex system of customs and traditions. The family and the clan still remain the basic foundation of social relationships. The oldest male is the head of the family. Much…

In Sexual Violence in the politics and policies of conquest: Amerindian Women and the Spanish Conquest of Alta California by Antonia I. Castaneda she talks about how Amerindian women were treated by the Spanish soldier and the terrible thing they were put through. In The Collapse of the Missions by David J. Weber he talks about the horrible way Spanish soldier treated the Indians and how they tried to “civilize” the “savage Indians” and the struggle the Indians faced trying to stop this horrible…

the residents of Judah. It is also interesting to note that no author from the New Testament alludes to Obadiah and also there is a striking similarity in Obadiah and Jeremiah. Obadiah is an exposition of Genesis 12:1-3 with two themes that are intertwined- 1) the judgment of Edom because of her pride and also because she mocked Judah when Judah was being attacked 2) the restoration of Judah which included a territory from the Edomites. The blessing that Obadiah pronounced had a near fulfillment…

Was the United States Justified in Going to War with Mexico? As someone new to the world sets up something would it be right if someone just took it from them with force? This kind of event happened on April 25th, 1846 to Mexico, which where America took land from them through force. The event that triggered the beginning of the war was American troops patrolling an area North of the Rio Grande. American troops engaged a large body of Mexican soldiers that had just crossed the Rio Grande.…

Columbus and the natives of the New World provided a defining moment for humanity as diseases, crops, and religions that had not previously been known to either side now became staples of life for both civilizations. When most people think of Columbus’s arrival to the New World they only wish to see the immediate benefits that came out of the expedition, such as the discovery of new land, ecosystems, and crops. The most…
