Answer: William Becknell and General Thomas James

Introduction:

By September, 1821, the Revolution in Mexico against the Spanish rule had succeeded,<em> Mexico was a free country</em> and could trade with whomever they pleased and<em> Americans</em> were now welcome in<em> New Mexico. </em>

Explanation:

The <em>William Becknell</em> party arrived in Santa Fe followed by the<em> General Thomas James / John McKnight </em>expedition, <em>only two weeks after. </em>

William Becknell escaped the financial depression Missouri was facing, he saw Santa Fe as a new opportunity to trade his goods. Becknell followed a new route in 1822 and became famous as the Santa Fe Trail.

General Thomas James arrived to Santa Fe with John McKnight in an expedition that served two purposes, General Thomas James's purpose was to trade with the Indians while John McKnight was looking for his brother Robert McKnight who had been held prisoner by the Spanish.

There are several phrases associated with the Statue of Liberty, but the most recognizable is “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” This quote comes from Emma Lazarus’ sonnet, New Colossus, which she wrote for a fundraiser auction to raise money for the pedestal upon which the Statue of Liberty now sits. The poem did not receive much recognition and was quite forgotten after the auction.

In the early 1900s and after Lazarus’ death, one of her friends began a campaign to memorialize Lazarus and her New Colossus sonnet. The effort was a success, and a plaque with the poem’s text was mounted inside the pedestal of the statue
