The potential use of these routes would mean that goods would no longer have to travel through the Suez or Panama canals, shortening the distance by thousands of miles. (Anderson 2009). In fact, it is estimated that using the Northwest Passage would save two weeks of travel time vs. the Panama Canal The…

Various religions approach the aspect of sacred rituals in unique and purposeful manners. According to Livingston, “a religious ritual is an agreed-on and formalized pattern of ceremonial movements and verbal expressions carried out in a sacred context” (75).

Amerigo Vespucci, Jacques Cartier, and Henry Hudson are only a few examples of European white men who helped to shape the US as we know it today.
