Los Presos Políticos en Estados Unidos: ¡Aqui está la lista! El Dr. Néstor García Iturbe, periodista e investigador, publica la presente Lista de Presos Políticos en Estados Unidos, constituida gracias a dos organizaciones, la National Jericho Movement y la Social Movement Prisoners. Los presos así enumerados totalizan 157 prisioneros políticos. Explica el colega: Hemos solicitado a otras organizaciones sus listados, algunas como la de los Indios Nativos Encarcelados nos han planteado que su listado es confidencial y no pueden darlo, sin embargo por sus propios comunicados conocimos que existen 200 nativos, de origen indio en cárceles estadounidenses, en cuyas acusaciones se pone de manifiesto que los mismos fueron detenidos por luchar contra el sistema, por lo que son presos políticos. Sabemos que esta lista está incompleta, que aún quedan muchos casos que deben incluirse en la misma. El caso de los CINCO HEROES CUBANOS ha sido incluido por estas organizaciones en sus listas, no quisimos quitarlos de una y dejarlos en la otra. F.C.I. ? ?

Each set includes a topic overview, ten to fifteen primary sources, links to related resources, and a teaching guide. These sets were created and reviewed by the teachers on the DPLA's Education Advisory Committee.
Descubren un fuerte en el asentamiento español más al norte de América Arqueólogos han descubierto restos del fuerte de San Marcos, vinculado a la ciudad de Santa Elena, levantada por los españoles en el siglo XVI en la actual Isla Parris, en Carolina del Sur. Imagen: Archivo General de Indias, Sevilla / Hoffman. N. Su descubrimiento, publicado esta semana en Journal of Archeology Science Reports, arroja nueva luz sobre el asentamiento español más al norte en las Américas, construido para frustrar la exploración francesa en el Nuevo Mundo. Concretamente, la fortaleza fue fundada en 1577 por Pedro Menéndez Márquez, gobernador de La Florida española. "He estado buscando San Marcos desde el año 1993 y la nueva tecnología han permitido una nueva búsqueda," dice Chester DePratter, arqueólogo de la Universidad de Carolina del Sur. A principios de junio, DePratter y su colega Víctor Thompson usaron tecnologías de teledetección para mirar debajo de la superficie del suelo sin excavar.

The Louisiana Purchase - Louisiana: European Explorations and the Louisiana Purchase | Digital Collections | Library of Congress Napoleonic France Acquires Louisiana On October 1, 1800, within 24 hours of signing a peace settlement with the United States, First Consul of the Republic of France Napoleon Bonaparte, acquired Louisiana from Spain by the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso. To the distress of the United States, Napoleon held title to the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans. With the signing of the Treaty of San Ildefonso, Napoleon sought to reestablish an extended French maritime and colonial empire in the West Indies and the Mississippi Valley. He planned to develop a commercial bloc in the Caribbean Basin that consisted of the strategically important West Indian islands of Guadalupe, Martinique, and Saint Domingue, which in turn would be linked with Louisiana. To round out his imperial presence in the region Napoleon intended to pressure Spain into ceding the Floridas to France. "There is on the globe one single spot" 10. 11. View the complete essay (PDF).

Foreign Relations of the U.S. – UW Digital Collections Foreign Relations of the U.S. This digital facsimile of Foreign Relations of the United States is a project of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Chicago Libraries. This is a nearly complete run from 1861-1960 with missing volumes being added as they can be acquired and processed. If your library is interested in donating material for this project, please contact the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections Center. Special thanks are owed to the University of Chicago Libraries for contributing FRUS volumes for digitization. The objective of the project is to drive down the cost of digitization and scale up production of valuable information resources in digital format. The Foreign Relations of the United States series is the official documentary historical record of major U.S. foreign policy decisions that have been declassified and edited for publication. FRUS begins with the administration of Abraham Lincoln in 1861.
