The oldest city in the U.S., St. Augustine, was founded by Spanish settlers. Hispanic-Americans continue to serve as leaders and influence all aspects of American society today.

Brinkley Textbook
Native American civilizations had developed across the Americas for thousands of years prior to European contact. Some of the most advanced civilizations included the Inca Empire in Peru, the Maya civilization in Central America, and the Aztec Empire in central Mexico, which dominated a large region through military power and enforced tribute. When Europeans arrived in the late 15th century, they brought diseases that devastated Native populations and profoundly impacted existing societies, making conquest by the Spanish and Portuguese easier. However, Native American influences still remained strong.
Who Were The First Americans
Native Americans were the first inhabitants of North America, having migrated from Asia over the Bering Strait land bridge thousands of years ago. They adapted to various environments across the continent, developing distinct cultural practices for hunting, gathering, housing and more depending on their location. While some Native American groups believe their ancestors were always in North America, most scientists agree the migrations from Asia occurred in several waves ending over 10,000 years ago. After living in North America for millennia, Native American populations were devastated by diseases brought by European settlers in the 15th century.

Jazz originated from the blending of African and European musical traditions by slaves in the American South in the early 19th century. Ragtime music popularized by Scott Joplin in the late 19th century helped establish foundations for jazz. Jazz grew more popular in the 1920s-1930s era of swing music and big bands led by artists like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.

European settlement in the Americas had profound effects on both native peoples and the newcomers. They exchanged knowledge of food items, widening each other's diets. Over time, European weapons proved more powerful than native arms, changing hunting and warfare. As European communities grew and resembled European towns, native villages were often destroyed or displaced.

When the Spanish first arrived in the 16th century, they encountered the indigenous populations and initially believed California was an island inhabited by black Amazons. Over subsequent centuries, California attracted immigrants from around the world, including Mexico, Latin America, Asia, the Dust Bowl states, and refugees fleeing places like Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. By the 1990s and 2000s, census data showed minorities had become the majority in California, with the largest ethnic groups being Hispanic, Caucasian, and Asian.
Costa Rican History
Costa Rica was first explored by Columbus in 1502 and inhabited by nearly 400,000 native Indians.

Today, Costa Rica has a stable, democratic government and tourism-based economy.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
