Why do many cities near the California coast begin with san or santa?

History
1 answer:
DochEvi [55]4 years ago
5 0

That phenomenon is not really connected with being near the coast. 
It's more a matter of places that were once conquered and re-named,
mostly by the Spaniards.
 
Conquest and subjugation of the local indigenous population, you see,
was a brave, heroic, macho accomplishment, which made them really
feel good.  So when they erased the names that the local people had
given the places, they very often re-named the places in honor of their
king, or in honor of religious figures such as Saints ... "San" for a male
saint, and "Santa" for a female one.

At great distances from the coasts, you have San Antonio, Santa Fe,
Saint Louis, etc.

melomori [17]

Answer - after the Missouri Compromise there were:

<h2>12 free states</h2><h2>12 slave states</h2>

The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added as a free state at the same time, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal.  It also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.

What members of the feudal system seems to be ignored by the Magna Carta?​
laila [671]

Answer:

In immediate terms, Magna Carta was a failure—civil war broke out the same year, and John ignored his obligations under the charter. Upon his death in 1216, however, Magna Carta was reissued with some changes by his son, King Henry III, and then reissued again in 1217.
