Incan architecture is the most significant pre-Columbian architecture in South America. The Incas inherited an architectural legacy from Tiwanaku, founded in the 2nd century B.C.E. in present-day Bolivia. A core characteristic of the architectural style was to use the topography and existing materials of the land as part of the design.[1] The capital of the Inca empire, Cuzco, still contains many fine examples of Inca architecture, although many walls of Inca masonry have been incorporated into Spanish Colonial structures. The famous royal estate of Machu Picchu (Machu Pikchu) is a surviving example of Inca architecture. Other significant sites include Sacsayhuamán and Ollantaytambo. The Incas also developed an extensive road system spanning most of the western length of the continent and placed their distinctive architecture along the way, thereby visually asserting their imperial rule along the frontier.
Explanation:
Mahan argued the following:
1. Our increasing production demanded we expanded overseas and gain new markets.
2. We must make sure that no nation owns islands within three thousand miles of San Francisco. This meant we had to gain control of Hawaii.
3. A powerful navy must be built.
Alfred Thayer Mahan's writings and America's need to expand to markets abroad resulted in two things:
1. The creation of a large and powerful navy to protect America's interests overseas.
2. The expansion of US economic interests overseas.
America was embarking on a new journey. In the late 1700's George Washington had urged America to "steer clear of foreign affairs." For over a hundred years we had more or less followed that advice but now we would abandon it. America was going to dive head first into competition with other industrialized countries for markets and resources...it was to be the age of imperialism.
To the North slavery was morally wrong & cruel. But, also with the South pushing the expansion of slavery, the North felt as if it was taking more jobs away from the whites. Only about 25% of people owned slaves by 1860.
Yes, it is true that Benedict Arnold was first a hero then a traitor, although it should be noted that he was less a "hero" and more simply a well-respected war officer during the Revolution.
