To the Line of Fire!: Mexican Texans and World War I, is currently the only book-length study on this topic. Author José A. Ramírez utilized samples of Spanish surnames from draft registration cards in RG 63, Records Relating to Registrants, Records of the Selective Service System, to estimate that of the approximately 36,000 Mexican-origin men who registered for the draft, 5,000 of them served.The draft registration card below from Private Epigmenio G. Garcia of Headquarters Company, 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Division, illustrates some of the details of soldiers’ backgrounds available from these primary source documents.
Private Garcia appeared to the local draft board in Cameron County, Texas, on the first registration day for World War I — June 5, 1917. He reported that he was “natural born” in Raymondville, Texas. Garcia was thus not eligible for an exemption in this draft round as he was a U.S. citizen, reported no dependents, and did not have any disqualifying disabilities. His job as a “Traveling Salesman,” for the “Great [sic] State Patrolmen’s Association,” suggests literacy in reading and writing. Indeed, Pvt. Garcia signs his own name (other conscripts could only place a mark [x] for their names), and his signature also matches that of his well-written account only four months later about the battlegrounds of France.

The U.S. military posthumously recognized David Barkley with its highest distinction, the Medal of Honor. He was the only soldier of Mexican origin from the Great War to receive such an honor. While he was serving, however, David Barkley did not mention his mother’s Mexican heritage or surname (Cantú) to avoid discrimination. One of Barkley’s descendents revealed in 1989 that his mother was Mexican. While some brief histories of Hispanic veterans mention the few who received awards from the U.S. and France, this essay focuses on showcasing documents illuminating the everyday and virtually unknown soldiers and few noncommissioned officers who fought on the front lines and trenches in France. They were gassed, wounded, shell-shocked, and killed alongside over one million U.S. soldiers who served abroad, one-fifth of whom were foreign-born. Their stories merit inclusion in the narratives of World War I history.
We have constructed Towards a history of Mexican American participation in World War I in two parts. In Part One, we draw from the almost two dozen written accounts signed with Spanish surnames, and confirmed as Mexican Texan origin through other sources, to reveal how linking them with census, draft registration cards, transport ship passenger lists and other federal records from the National Archives can flesh out richer profiles of these doughboys.
“Over the Top” Experiences of Texan Mexicans in the Trenches
When President Woodrow Wilson declared war in 1917, the U.S. military force barely numbered 100,000 men – mostly concentrated in the state-level National Guard Units. Among the hundreds of thousands of men who registered for the first round of the draft that year were immigrants from all corners of the world, particularly Europe. Historian Nancy Ford recounts how the War Department was “shocked” to discover that approximately one-fourth of the draftees were either illiterate in their native language and/or functionally illiterate in English. War Department rules required volunteers or conscripts to read or write English in order to serve. In response, the War Department created the Foreign-speaking Soldier Subsection (FSS) in January of 1918 to quickly devise a means to teach recruits basic English and engage in Americanization programs. In Americans All!: Foreign-born Soldiers in World War I, Ford details how a successful English language curriculum developed at Fort Gordon, Georgia was exported to several camps as “the Gordon Plan.” Most soldiers only received three months of training, resulting in many achieving only functional literacy. An indication that the brief training was insufficient is evident in the personal account of Private Pablo Cortez, Company M, 141st Infantry, which combines broken Spanish and some phonetic English.

The number of wars which have happened or will happen in the world will always be found to be in proportion to the number and weight of the causes, whether REAL or PRETENDED, which PROVOKE or INVITE them. If this remark be just, it becomes useful to inquire whether so many JUST causes of war are likely to be given by UNITED AMERICA as by DISUNITED America; for if it should turn out that United America will probably give the fewest, then it will follow that in this respect the Union tends most to preserve the people in a state of peace with other nations.

Answer:
(A) The Little Ice Age caused shortages of food and reduced the amount of agricultural surplus available for trade.
Explanation:
The Little Ice Age lasted from the thirteenth century to the early nineteenth century, and it consisted of a period of generally colder temperatures compared with the previous period: the Medieval Warm Period.
The Little Ice Age made life more difficult for Europeans, specially in Northern Europe. For example, it caused the Norse colonies in Greenland to died out, and the people of Iceland almost died out as well, suffering from frequent famines and poverty. In Britain, for example, a few vines could be cultivated in the Southern half of the island, but this ended once the Little Ice Age started.

12. SAQ#2 A. Briefly identify and describe one feature of David by Michelangelo
that is humanistic. B. Briefly identify and describe one feature of David by
Michelangelo that is secular. C. Briefly identify and describe one feature of David
by Michelangelo that shows individualism.
Answer:
Features of David by Michelangelo:
1. Humanistic feature:
David was depicted by Michelangelo as a rational, civic-minded, and altruistic human being who cared for his nation, and applied his youthful strength backed by his strong faith in God, to salvage Israel from the hands of the Philistines. In the sculpture, David looks more alive than a piece of art, considerate and deep in thought. There is no frivolity about him, despite his youthful beauty.
2. Secular feature:
David was depicted by Michelangelo as strong and self-assured, a man filled with vigor and beauty, with all his manhood on full display and nothing hidden. This shows the innocence of a youth created in God's image and likeness. Before the fall of Adam and Eve, man was free, just as David looks free and unencumbered in this sculpture. This is despite his impending encounter with the Goliath of life.
3. Individualistic feature:
The biblical David we know of was a man of action, always surrounded by acolytes and enemies, musical instruments and military weapons, and beautiful women of all shades. But, in this sculpture, Michelangelo decided to strip him of all these accompaniments, to focus singularly on David, only adding the sling to show his military prowess and background.
Explanation:
The sculpture of David by Michelangelo was done in 1501 during the Renaissance period. It was commissioned by the city of Florence, according to history, to adorn the rooftops of the city's Cathedral. Again, according to history, Michelangelo was 26 when he brought out this masterpiece of David on marble and must have added his youthful exuberance, no wonder David came out naked without any ugliness. This shows that man and woman look more beautiful when they are naked than clothed.

Answer:
the answer is Greek :))
The term “ocean” was derived from the Latin term Okeanos, their name for the Atlantic ocean.
In the latter half of the 13th century, the word "ocean" was first employed in Middle English. It originated from the Latinized Old French word "ocean," which was derived from the Greek word "Okeanos."
What is the definition of the ocean in geography?The ocean, a vast body of saline water, occupies around 71 percent of the surface of the planet. Although there is just one ocean on the planet, it is typically split into the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic oceans by oceanographers and nations around the world.

"Education leads to enlightenment. Enlightenment opens the way to empathy. Empathy foreshadows reform." - Derrick A Bell, Faces at the Bottom of a Well What do you think he means?
Answer:
Derrick A Bell is likely explaining the following rationale:
As you educate yourself, you get to know many other realities, from social realities to economic realities, to political realities. This increased knowledge makes you more informed and critical, in other words, makes you more enlightened.
Because of this knowlege of other realities, you also become more empathetic, because you acquire the capacity to put yourself in other people's situations. And finally, empathy naturally leads to desires to reform the negative policies that negatively affect the people you are empathizing with.

What role did the African Tribes and the Middle Passage play in helping to grow
the economy of the Southern Colonies?
Answer:
African tribes involved in the Atlantic slave trade.
Explanation:
The slavery system had existed before the arrival of European in Africa. According to some historians, slavery practised in different tribes in the west and central region of Africa. The existence of various ethnic group led to conflicts between themselves that produced captives who could become part of a local slave trade system. The pattern of the trade changes with the shipping of slaves in America. Europeans took advantage of the remaining slave system in Africa to obtain the labour for a plantation economy in the New World.
The Middle Passage was a stage of the Triangular Trade that connected three continents. Europe took manufactured goods and material to Africa in exchange for African slaves from local African leaders. The enslaved African came in America as labours to work in fields in the Southern colonies. Slaves sold to their buyer in return for raw materials for industries in England like cotton, indigo, etc.
