Chicago is a midwestern city that experienced a major fire during the late 1800s.

The Great Chicago Fire was a blaze that raged in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States, between October 8 and 10, 1871. Over 17,000 buildings and about 3.3 square miles of the city were destroyed by the fire, which also left over 300 people dead and more than 100,000 people homeless.

For many years, a goat that was once ejected from Wrigley Field was to blame for the Cubs' inability to go to the World Series. And for well over a century, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was started by a cow owned by Mrs. O'Leary.

The fire raged into the following day before ultimately being brought under control on October 10, when rain provided firefighting efforts a much-needed assist. An estimated 300 persons perished in the Great Chicago Fire, along with 100,000 more.

Who were the peninsulares, and why did the Creoles resent them?

Tanya [424]

The Peninsulares were those who were born in Spain while Creoles were born in Latin America. The Peninsulares enjoyed more rights and privileges and this was resented by Creoles who were treated like second class citizens. What made it more unfair was the fact that the Peninsulares were the minority yet enjoyed all these privileges despite that.
