A more terrible scene in history has never presented itself to me, your presidente, than those of the last days I have witnessed in the village of Aguacaliente. Tormented by nameless fears and paranoia, the delirium of tyranny seized him and took him over, drove him to the verge of madness, and he himself taken up by the rumor and gossip found the urge to make pilgrimage to Aguacaliente, even, perhaps, to pay homage to the norteamericano said to having taken refuge in a tree and providing cure for any number of ailments. After he had made attempt at any number of remedies, all proving fruitless for those ailments that had overtaken him and bent him cripple. Feddermann had reigned thirty-seven years, but now his rule was numbered, the hour having

Boca Grande, Florida (33921) has a population of 1,230. Boca Grande is a small town located on the west coast of Florida. The second you get off the plane you can smell the salty waters and fruity smoothies. The dry air and glaring sun on your skin brings me the feeling of warmth and happiness. The bright green palm tree leaves rustling in the wind providing slight shade from the bright golden sun. The sand if full of shells, that with one wrong step will slice your foot. Making your journey down to the water not comfortable. The water is so still in the morning it looks like a painting. Even when it's seventy-five degrees outside the water is still as clear as glass. It’s cold at first, but after you dive under like a dolphin once or twice

The Aztecs were a civilization of brave and strong warriors. They ruled their empire in 1350 to 1519. Tenochtitlan was the capital of their empire. Two things the Aztecs were known for were human sacrifice and agriculture. However historians should emphazise agriculture.""I think historians should emphasize Aztec agriculture because of these three reasons. One reason is their farming method called chinampas. According to Document B it states that when the Aztecs used the method of chinampas they did not get cut short of food. Second reason historians should emphasize mor aztec agriculture is because they created many popular Mexican foods of today. According to Document C it states that they created tortillas and popcorn. Laslty Aztecs agriculture

When the Europeans first came to the New World, They brought diseases from the Old World that the Native’s were immune to. This disease ravaged Tenochtitlan. This spread of infection was also so reciprocal.
Could you imagine a time where almost 90% of your kind were dead,because of diseases that some people brought and you couldn’t cure it.Where only 10% of your kind were still alive.There was a time like this before in the 1540 where one man, Hernando de Soto almost 90% killed all of the Native Americans in Georgia. Hernando de Soto was a Spanish conquistador that had come looking for God,Gold,and Glory.When Hernando de Soto came to North America,he first land on the shore of now a day Florida. Then he and his 600 men set of to Georgia,there Hernando de Soto and his men meet the Native Americans of the island of Ocmulgee.
A Spanish conquistador is that of a conqueror, and explorer, especially one of Mexico and Peru. The beginning of the 16th century was deemed the commencement of the Spanish conquistadors in which was named ‘The Age of Discovery’, where the conquistadors of places such as Spain and Portugal explored the new world and conquered various territories. Looking at military defenses, secrecy and disinformation, financing and governance, and their way of life people can begin to grasp a comprehension of the impact of the Spanish conquistadors. In searching for an understanding for the ways of the Spaniards and their conquests the lessons to be learnt for existing populations can be unraveled.
This historiography will cover published works that deal with the topic, the history of medicine in the United States-Mexico borderlands. There are three sections that will analyze the history of medicine in the borderlands in different capacities. The three sections are Transnational Medical Borderlands Histories, Public Health and The Indigenous Agent, and ‘Traditional’ Medicine in the Borderlands. These three sections all use distinct and unique sources that may seem untraditional for historians, but help tells a unique version of the story from different academic perspectives. This historiography includes historians and historical sources along with medical journals, an anthropologist and a sociologist to give a multidisciplinary approach
separate how De Las Casas might have been an outspoken critic of the Spanish’s treatment of indigenous people, and how he was still a part of a repressive institution. Finally, I
This section highlights that history has created a false narrative depicting the natives as a victimized people, which they were to some extent but only in the fashion that they did not possess the same technology for warfare, immunity of communal diseases transmitted, and they were not anticipating combat. All other factors considered, the natives stood to be a potential threat. In regards to knowledge obtained by Spaniards prior to arrival and knowledge gained from observation, it would be remiss had they not prepared for battle. This argument is not to be misconstrued in approving their actions; I do recognize colonization as an evil for both the reasons employed and its damaging effects, but rather to change the narrative surrounding that of the native people. While they did experience a tragedy, I feel that it is erroneous to write them into history as being incompetent resulting from their
Even after hundreds of years, the Mexican Revolution remains an important mark in Mexican politics. Adams believes Carlos Fuentes is trying to say in The Death of Artemio Cruz by saying this,
Finally, I can conclude that having a history written by someone else, especially by ones conquerors is difficult. Now only many elements will be left aside, but much truth will not be told. In this paper, I tried to explain this theory may not always apply to history. Although the Spanish were conquering, killing, stealing and raping, there were good people with clear purposes. The purpose of bring forward the facts of what happened in the dark era of today’s Latin America. While Diaz describe almost everything he saw and heard from the natives while in the city of Tenochtitlan, while Leon judges many of the actions of the Spanish and explains the spirituality of the Incas and while Casas portrays the pure and genuine character of the native
As Henderson weaves the imagery of a very defenseless nation and the precognition of defeat and lose for Mexico, the political spectrum is placed into sight as he examines the encounter with Hidalgo and states the indigenous people were “indulg[ing] themselves in an orgy of looting, pillaging, murder and mutilation,’ forcing he stance towards independent Creoles like Hidalgo to “gaze into the maw of barbarism” (20). The images placed forth are very descriptive to create a savage stance, one based on no type of foundation to rely on and lack of morals to guide in the past events.
Esteban Echeverria’s story “The Slaughterhouse” uses symbolism and horrific details that recount the time during the reign of the ‘Unitarios,’ more specifically Juan Manuel de Rosas. Rosas was the ruler of Argentina from 1835 to 1852. Echeverria and some friends to combat the reign of terror that Rosas put on Argentina founded a the “Association of May.” Once Rosas caught wind of this uprising he forced Echeverria to emigrate to Uruguay where he later died just before the downfall of Rosas’ reign. During his involvement in the Association of May, he wrote ‘Slaughterhouse’ or “El Matadero.” This story went on to become of the most influential pieces of political propaganda in Latin American history.
