	History of the Philippines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although many Spanish friars protested abuses by the Spanish government and military they themselves have committed many abuses and had utilized the government for their own means.
		The Americans blamed the Spanish for the incident, when in fact it was later discovered to have been an accidental malfunction of the gas generators inside the battleship which caused the explosion.
		The Spanish friars were surprised at the ease with which the Filipinos could read Baybayin writing (right to left, left to right, and even upside down) apparently because the script was linear when incised on a bamboo stick, and was well suited to the language.

	Ecuador - SPANISH COLONIAL ERA
		The jungle lowlands in both the Oriente and the coastal region of Esmeraldas were, in contrast, refuges for an estimated one-quarter of the total native population that remained recalcitrant and unconquered throughout most or all of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
		Despite Orellana's harrowing journey of discovery, the Oriente remained terra incognita to the Spanish until its settlement by Jesuit missionaries beginning in the mid-seventeenth century, and it continued to be largely inaccessible throughout the remainder of the colonial period.
		Diseases imported by the Spanish, particularly smallpox and measles, virtually wiped out the indigenous coastal population during the sixteenth century and also decimated the Sierra population, although not as thoroughly as in the Costa or many other areas of Latin America.

	Lesson for "African-Americans in Antebellum Florida" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Some former Spanish attitudes on slavery returned with the Spanish, as did the old three-caste system, but there were changes as a result of the English influence during their hold on Florida and with the numbers of English and American settlers arriving in Florida.
		So, while fewer slaves were released from bondage in the second Spanish era, they still enjoyed a measure of tolerance not experienced by their counterparts in the southern states of the new American nation.
		And the old Spanish task-oriented system of work was still prevalent; for instance, if a slave was required to work in the timber industry, instead of cutting trees down all day with no set limit until dusk, he was given a quota to meet.

	California - The Spanish Era
		The Spanish era in California had its tangible be-ginning in the year 1769 with the arrival of Junipero Serra and Gaspar de Portola at San Diego.
		It was an era not great with the tramp of armies or the assembling of vast populations but it laid deep foundations and held, through sacrifice and heroism, the trails which its pioneers had blazed by land and the pathways which its mariners had dared at sea.
		The Governors who ruled the territory during the Spanish era were invariably men of high moral characters, who carried out with conscientious energy the policy of the fatherland in a far distant and isolated part of the world.

	An abbreviated look at Philippine History
		There physical presence and the written history by the early Spanish settlers suggest that the Filipinos were actively mining for precious metals thousands of years before peoples in other regions of the area.
		Permanent Spanish occupation began in 1565, and by 1571 the entire country, except for the strictly Islamic Sulu archipelago, was under Spanish control.
		Of course there are many recorded horror stories, of historically significant, where the Spanish forced the induction of Christianity upon the 'heathens' of these islands -- leading to thousands of deaths and tortures of the residents of the islands.

		Those who could write in the colonial era were taught to keep their lines very straight and the size of their letters uniform.
		They took great pride in their ability to write "properly." Probably one of the reasons they never wrote in the landscape format is because shorter lines are much easier to keep straight.
		The very first word of this fraudulent "Spanish" document is a clear indicator that it was not written by a Spaniard or in the Spanish colonial period.

		They brought with them the Spanish mustang, which became the Indian pony, the cow horse of the cattle kingdom, and the Longhorn cattle, which became the symbol of Texas.
		Despite the fact that the Spanish flag flew over Texas longer than any other to date (1529 to 1821), the early explorers did not ever "settle" the land, so eventually, Texas became an English-speaking area and was lost to the Americans.
		Still others have suggested that the name was derived from the fact that the Spanish had to place stakes in the ground to fasten horses due to the lack of trees.

	Louisiana Timeline: Year 1802
		The government of New Orleans during the Spanish era was the most efficient Spanish city in the Western Hemisphere.
		It had to be, because the colony was certainly not self-sustaining and the subsidies, which started in the early French era and continued into the Spanish, only drained the royal coffers of Europe.
		But Spanish New Orleans was not without its share of back-stabbing and petty squabbling, especially in the last decade when Spain’s interest in the colony was waning and the Creole leaders began to concern themselves more with perks and amenities.

	Heroism or hype? - Rescue of Pvt. Lynch eerily parallels Spanish War-era ‘rescue’ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		WASHINGTON (IPS/GIN)—An attractive and spirited young woman, held captive by sadistic foreigners and saved by coolly efficient, red-blooded, all-American males—it is a story straight out of romance novels, not to mention the "yellow journalism" that propelled the United States into the Spanish-American War and the beginnings of empire just over a century ago.
		Jessica Lynch, held captive by "cruel" Iraqi officers in Nasiriyah in the latter part of March 2003, and Evangelina Cisneros, held captive by "cruel" Spanish officers in 1897, are strikingly similar not only in their basic plot line, but also in their effect on rallying public opinion behind a war.
		The only major difference is the color of the two heroines’ eyes and hair.
