I think it would be the treaty of Paris in 1763?
Answer:
Stephen Fuller Austin was a reluctant revolutionary. His father, Moses Austin, won permission from the Mexican government in 1821 to settle 300 Anglo-American families in Texas. When Moses died before realizing his plans, Stephen took over and established the fledgling Texas community on the lower reaches of the Colorado and Brazos Rivers. Periodic upheavals in the government of the young Mexican Republic forced Austin to constantly return to Mexico City where he argued for the rights of the American colonists in Texas, representing their interests as a colonial founder. Yet, Austin remained confident that an Anglo-American state could succeed within the boundaries of the Mexican nation.
The messages the government was trying to send in the film "Duck and Cover" were:
- surviving the atomic bomb
- surviving the atomic bomb attack depends in being prepared and knowing what to do.
The phrase "duck and cover" meant putting one's self into duck position and covering. The idea behind the saying was that if one "ducked and covered", one would be able to survive an atomic bomb. It was released in 1952 during the Cold War, when there were threats that the Soviet Union would drop an atomic bomb on American territory.
