History

tangare [24]3 years ago
6 0

Since February 1831, Turner has come to believe that certain atmospheric phenomena should be interpreted as a sign that he should begin preparing for rebellion against slaveholders. On February 11, 1831, the state of Virginia observed a solar eclipse. Turner saw in it the hand of the black man who closed the sun, and he accepted this vision as a sign. The uprising was originally scheduled for July 4, Independence Day, but was postponed due to  his illness. On August 13 there was another solar eclipse, in which the sun of bluish-green color appeared. Turner took it as a final signal, and a week later, on August 21, he began a rebellion.

Why was the 1846 Battle of Santa Fe in the Mexican-American War significant?
daser333 [38]
The 1846 Battle of Santa Fe in the Mexican-American war was significant, because a) Santa Fe was the capital of Mexico, and the US victory forced Mexico to surrender. However, when General Kearny and his troops reached Santa Fe, there were no Mexican troops to battle the city for and not one shot was fired, as the Americans claimed the capital of Mexico and went on westwards to claim land that is still part of the United States today.
