For the answer to the question above, an Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is a short story written by eternal pessimist Ambrose Bierce in 1890. It's set in the Civil War, 30 years prior. 
Bierce actually fought in the Civil War, he was enlisted for the Union's 9th regiment and was active at the Battle of Shiloh. That being said, Bierce has real life experience with war, something that is really reflected in Owl Creek Bridge. He sees that the war is treacherous and brutal. The events that seemingly occur are highly romanticized, as war is often portrayed by the government, media, etc. However, the ending is the biggest key into Bierce's thoughts on war. War and death can not be dramatized, they can only be realized as a cold and unforgiving force.

Answer:

Bierce chose to tell his story from the point of view of a Confederate supporter because he wanted to highlight the flaws of a romantic perception of life. Bierce’s protagonist, Peyton Farquhar, was a Confederate sympathizer and a romantic. In the third section, as it is written from Peyton’s perspective, Bierce chose to write as a romantic would. The reader feels the thrill of Farquhar’s escape, only to later be deceived by the author as he returns to realism and ends the story abruptly with Farquhar’s execution, thus showing the reality and lack of emotion present in war.

1. Why might the Spanish have been upset about<br> the new borders?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The northern borderlands of the Spanish colonies are now situated in the south of the United States. This place is rather dry and desertic compared with the center of Mexico, what used to be the heart of the colonies. They didn't have the means to make it productive land and produce crops, and didn't have the workforce either. Indians living there were nomadic and offered great resistance to Spanish subjugation, the opposite from the tribes living in the centre of Mexico, sedentarian and already used to the dominance of an empire, the Aztec one.

1. ¿De qué manera cambiaron las sociedades autóctonas del continente americano previo al surgimiento de los grandes imperios que
frozen [14]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

La manera en cambiaron las sociedades autóctonas del continente Americano previo al surgimiento de los grandes imperios que conocieron los Españoles, fue en que de una serie de grupos tribales, las sociedades fueron creciendo al establecerse en un solo lugar para aplicar las técnicas de agricultura que estas tribus fueron desarrollando. Posteriormente, tribus guerreras como los Aztecas, provenientes de Aztlán, fueron incrementando su presencia y poderío en Mesoamérica, conquistando pequeñas tribus, esclavizándolas, y haciendo que pagaran tributo. De esta manera creció la civilización Azteca, hasta convertirse en imperio. Los Aztecas, Mayas e Incas, se convirtieron en los imperios más dominantes en Mesoamérica y Sudamérica, respectivamente, y eso fue lo que encontraron los Españoles a su llegada.
