What could you explain the eight-month gap between the mutiny at San Julian and the navigation of the Strait of Magellan?

gavmur [86]

After Magellan and his crew sailed the Río de la Plata, they find a suitable place to spend the winter, which they called Port San Julián on March 30, 1520. Magellan decided to stay in that port for 148 days, a very long period, and this is not understood by many expedition members and a mutiny happened. During this period another important event took place: the ship "Santiago", commanded by Juan Serrano, Portuguese and possibly a cousin of Magellan, had been sent to explore something more to the South while the others remained in the Port of San Julián. Apparently it is stuck by the great oscillation of the tide, losing the ship.

When finally Magellan decided to leave on August 24, 1520, apparently they found very bad weather conditions and stopped, this time in Port of Santa Cruz, for another 53 days. Only three days after leaving Port Santa Cruz, on October 21, 1520, they discovered Cabo Vírgenes and began to enter, without yet knowing it, into the crossing on the other side of America.

The navigation of the Strait of Magellan (not known at that moment) will take them no less than 28 days, and finally, on November 18, 1520, 8 months after arriving at Port of San Julián, they will flow into the ocean they called Pacific.

To what degree was a unique american nationality developing in the eighteenth-century colonies? were regional differences in the

Colt1911 [192]

In my opinion, the unique American nationality developed a great deal during the 18th century. Of all things, the French and Indian War (the 1750's) probably had one the greater effects on the feeling of nationality. For the first time, the colonists felt a feeling of military success. This undoubtedly fueled a sense of unity. Moreover, Enlightenment thinkers like Benjamin Franklin contributed to the "new" American culture. His developments as an American were unique and stimulating.
I think that regional differences in the colonies continued to grow and grow until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1860. The South was able to grow a different and wider variety of things, thus creating its own economic identity (slavery, etc). The North remained more religious-affiliated and began to develop things like more universities, which the south generally did not (not a single ivy-league college in the south). A very different ideology continued to create each colony own identity in the 18th century and continued for quite some time.
