Known as the Custodio y Conversión de San Pablo, the newly appointed prelate of the New Mexico mission field Fray Alonso de Benavides arrived with the supply caravan of 1626. Accompanied by twelve Franciscans, they joined fourteen missionaries, already residing in New Mexico. Benavides' arrival signaled a new beginning for the New Mexican missions. The tireless friar, who held the titles of Father Custodian and Commissary of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, toiled in the expanded mission field and promoted it with his prolific quill. Written for the Pope and Spanish king, his Memorial of 1630, and a revised version in 1634 were published in five languages before the end of seventeenth century. An offshoot of the colonial Mexican Church, the New Mexico missions were not unlike other mission provinces in the Americas. In his Memorial, Benavides offered a composite, albeit romanticized, view of "the pious tasks of the friars in these conversions."
Of a day in the life of a missionary, Benavides, seeing through the eyes of a colonial missionary, wrote a description of a friar's daily routine that could be applied anywhere in the Americas during the Spanish colonial period. Benavides' Memorial embellished the successes of the New Mexico missions and brushed off the American Indian view—in particular that of anti mission Pueblo Indians. Their view was often expressed as a rejection of the missionaries. When passive resistance failed, the Indians turned to armed rebellion. Despite their goals, the friars ultimately settled for imperfectly converted Christian Indians who integrated Christianity, native beliefs and spirituality into their customs and traditions. The missionaries had satisfied the Spanish government's objectives to pacify the frontier, and the church's quest to save souls and spread Christianity.
It depends on the context I guess although in retrospect the answer would be no. It’s an odd name tho isn’t it.
A worker discovered it by accident.
There was a man named James W. Marshall who found gold on January 24, 1848, He saw something shiny in the stream. He had discovered gold unexpectedly while overseeing construction of a sawmill on the American River.
Hope this helped :)
Have a great day
Wilson's hope for a post World War I society had both strengths and weaknesses. One of the biggest strengths included a plan for the breaking down of trade barriers between different countries. Wilson hoped that countries would remove barriers (like tariffs or embargoes) so that countries all over the world could trade goods and reap the benefits. Another strength of his post World War I plan was to grant sovereignty to nations like Austria-Hungary.
His plan came with weaknesses however. One of the ones that initially was seen as a strength but ended up as a weaknesses was the creation of the League of Nations. This was supposed to be an international peace keeping body. However, there was no way to enforce international peace, as countries were not necessarily forced to provide military assistance when asked by the League. Another weakness of his plan was to try to reduce the amount of military weapons/armaments for each country. This would rely on countries to voluntarily give up resources, which ended up being a wildly unpopular idea.
