Colonial America - (1980-present) Demographic history of the United States Military history of the United States From 1493, when Christopher Columbus brought the lands of the Western Hemisphere to Europe's attention, throughout the 16th century, North America was a backwater of colonialism. Spain, the main colonial power of the day, focused its efforts on the exploitation of the gold-rich empires of southern Mexico (the Aztec) and of the Andes (the Inca). Portugal, which had begun charting the far shores of the Atlantic Ocean before Spain began, was limited by the Treaty of Tordesillas to the lands east of Brazil. John Cabot reached southeastern Canada (possibly Maine) in 1497, and was followed by many other explorers. However, no serious colonization efforts were made for decades, until England, France, and Spain began to claim and expand.
Scottish Rite - conferred on brethren who have made major contributions to the Rite in their jurisdiction. From those upon whom this degree has been conferred are chosen the Supreme Council ,the governing body of the Scottish Rite. Most countries have only one Supreme Council, but in the United States, as we have seen, two jurisdictions have evolved. The original body, now called the Southern Jurisdiction, ceded control of Scottish Rite activities to fifteen northern states, forming the Northern Jurisdiction. Because the legends and symbolism in some of the degrees are distinctly Christian, particularly in the 18° of Knight Rose Croix, some Jurisdictions have prohibited Jews advancing beyond the 17° . Other grand bodies have altered the work of the 18° so that its non-secular nature would allow Jews to take the degree and.

Jefferson Davis - the federal government. In July 1847, Davis was mustered out of Mexico. He was appointed to the Senate, to serve out the remaining four years of the term of the late Jesse Speight. (Sources disagree as to this date as well.) The Smithsonian Institution appointed him a regent in the end of December of that year. Return to politics The Senate made Davis chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs (now Armed Services). When his term expired, he was elected to the same seat (by the Mississippi legislature, as the Constitution mandated at the time). He hadn't served a year when he resigned (in September 1851) to run for the governorship of Mississippi. This election bid was unsuccessful, as he was defeated by Henry S. Foote. Left without political office, Davis.

Henry Chichele - Gresham, to exaggerate the rise of a successful man. The first recorded appearance of Henry Chicheley himself is at New College, Oxford, as Checheley, eighth among the undergraduate fellows, in July 1387, in the earliest extant hall-book, which contains weekly lists of those dining in Hall. It is clear from Chicheley's position in the list, with eleven fellows and eight scholars, or probationer fellows, below him, that this entry does not mark his first appearance in the college, which had been going on since 1375 at least, and was chartered in 1379. He must have come from Winchester College in one of the earliest batches of scholars from that college, the sole feeder of New College, not from St John Baptist College, Winchester, as guessed by Dr William Hunt in the.
