Early Oil Discoveries

The presence of natural oil seeps in Texas had been known for hundreds of years before Europeans arrived in the area. Indians in Texas are said to have told European explorers that the substance had medicinal uses. In July 1543, the remnants of Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto's expedition, led by Luis de Moscoso Alvarado, were forced ashore along the Texas coast between Sabine Pass and High Island. Moscoso reported that the group found oil floating on the surface of the water and used it to caulk their boats.

Lyne T. Barret drilled Texas' first producing oil well in 1866 at Melrose in Nacogdoches County. The following year, Amory Reily Starr and Peyton F. Edwards brought in a well at nearby Oil Springs. Other wells followed, making Nacogdoches County the site of Texas' first commercial oil field, first pipeline and first effort to refine crude. Several thousand barrels of oil were produced, but the price of oil was not high enough to justify further efforts at development. While drilling for water in 1886, Bexar County rancher George Dullnig found a small quantity of oil, but he did not attempt commercial production.

City crews in Corsicana were also drilling for water in 1894, when they made the first economically significant oil discovery in Texas. That well was abandoned because the drillers needed to find water, not oil. But several producing oil wells were drilled in 1895 by Joseph S. Cullinan, who later helped found the Texas Company, which became Texaco. The first well-equipped refinery in Texas was built at this field, and despite the early efforts at Nacogdoches, it is usually called Texas' first refinery.

What impact did the War of 1812 have on American nationalism (national identity)?
Ulleksa [173]
The correct answer should be
<span>Although the conflict was indecisive, it boosted American nationalism because the American army and navy proved they could stand up to the most powerful country in Europe.

It can't be called a decisive victory or a defeat for anyone since the war ended in a stalemate and nothing got resolved. The situation returned to how it was before the war politically, except they didn't want to go to war anymore. This meant that no boundary changes occurred. </span>

Who knows the full dk rap if you get it right then you get 10 points if it takes you less than 2 minutes
allsm [11]

Answer:

Here, here, here we go!

So they're finally here, performing for you,

If you know the words, you can join in too,

Put your hands together, if you want to clap,

As we take you through, this monkey rap!

Huh!

D.K., Donkey Kong!!

He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well,

He's finally back to kick some tail,

His Coconut Gun can fire in spurts,

If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt,

He's bigger, faster, and stronger too,

He's the first member of the D.K. crew!

Huh!

D.K., Donkey Kong!

D.K., Donkey Kong is here!

This Kong's got style, so listen up dudes,

She can shrink in size, to suit her mood,

She's quick and nimble when she needs to be,

She can float through the air and climb up trees!

If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong,

With a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong!

Huh!

D.K., Donkey Kong!

He has no style, he has no grace,

Th-th-th-this Kong has a funny face,

He can handstand when he needs to,

And stretch his arms out, just for you,

Inflate himself just like a balloon,

This crazy Kong just digs this tune!

Huh!

D.K., Donkey Kong!

D.K., Donkey Kong is here!

He's back again and about time too,

And this time he's in the mood,

He can fly real high with his jetpack on,

With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong!

He'll make you smile when he plays his tune,

But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you!

Huh!

D.K., Donkey Kong!

Huh!

Finally, he's here for you,

It's the last member of the D.K. crew!

This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny,

Can make a Kremling cry out for mummy,

Can pick up a boulder with relative ease,

Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze,

He may move slow, he can't jump high,

But this Kong's one hell* of a guy! (*Replaced with "heck" in later versions of the song.)

Huh!

C'mon Cranky, take it to the fridge!

W-w-w-walnuts. peanuts. pineapple smells.

Grapes. melons. oranges and coconut shells!

Ahh yeah!

Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells,

Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells!

Ahh yeah!
