2 answers:

Explanation: For most of its history Seattle was a segregated city, as committed to white supremacy as any location in America. People of color were excluded from most jobs, most neighborhoods and schools, and many stores, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial establishments, even hospitals. As in other western states, the system of severe racial discrimination in Seattle targeted not just African Americans but also Native Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, people of Mexican ancestry, and also, at times, Jews.

Explanation: For most of its history Seattle was a segregated city, as committed to white supremacy as any location in America. People of color were excluded from most jobs, most neighborhoods and schools, and many stores, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial establishments, even hospitals. As in other western states, the system of severe racial discrimination in Seattle targeted not just African Americans but also Native Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, people of Mexican ancestry, and also, at times, Jews.

This special section presents research that will surprise many Pacific Northwesterners. Included are maps, photos, documents, and newspaper articles that follow the history of segregation in Seattle and King County from 1920 until today.

Segregation maps:

Here is a set of detailed maps showing residential locations for Blacks, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Jews, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Whites in Seattle from 1920-2010.  Follow the link above to view more than 70 demographic maps.

Racial Restrictive Covenants:

Was your neighborhood restricted? From the 1910s through the 1960s, many Seattle neighborhoods and King County suburbs practiced overt and total racial exclusion. White-only clauses and other restrictions (which sometimes excluded Jews as well as people of color) can be found today in property deeds for many many neighborhoods. We have collected over 500 restrictive documents on file in the King County Archives.

Restricted Neighborhoods Map:

This interactive map shows more than 200 subdivisions where deeds contained racial restictions. Filters allow you to see which neighborhoods excluded particular populations. And also to see the segregation work of particular developers and real estate companies.

Slideshow: Seattle's Segregation Story:

Telling the story of segregation practices from the late 1800s in photos maps, and short videos, this vivid slideshow clarifies the distinction between segregation as practiced in southern states and Seattle's version. And it reveals shocking facts about hospitals that would not treat patients of color, stores that would not serve African Americans or Asian Americans, and real estate firms that organized neighborhoods to keep them segregated. Teachers will find it perfect for introducing the subject.

How this project helped change state law:

On March 15,  2006, Gov. Christine Gregoire signed into law Senate Bill 6169, which makes it easier for neighborhoods governed by homeowners associations to rid themselves of racial restrictive covenants. Learn how this project helped launch the campaign. In 2018, the legislature added a new provision allowing property owners to strike racial restrictions from deeds and other property records.

When the Aztec first encountered ___explorers the believed the men heralded the second coming to their god _____
Aleks04 [339]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answers would be Spanish and Quetzalcoatl, respectively.

____________________________________________________

When the Aztec first encountered <em><u>Spanish</u></em> explorers the believed the men heralded the second coming to their god <em><u>Quetzalcoatl</u></em>.

____________________________________________________

Definitions:

Quetzalcoatl:

The Quetzalcoatl, known as the feathered serpent, was a god for most of the people in the Mesoamerican regions.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "Spanish" and "Quetzalcoatl" would be the correct answer because they believed that the arrival of the Quetzalcoatl god was from the Spanish people. When the Spanish explorers came to the Mesoamerican region from places like Spain, they were just exploring the land that they stopped on, but they people that were already on the land thought that they were special people. When the Aztec encountered the Spanish explorers, they treated them like they were gods, even though they didn't have any evidence showing that they were gods. At first the Spanish explorers found this very weird, because they were just random people to them, but they rolled with what the Aztec's thought they were. The Spanish explorers actually used this to their advantage. Because the Aztecs thought they were a gift from god, they gave them and treated them with whatever they asked, and this helped the Spanish settle in the land because the Aztecs obeyed all of their orders. The Aztecs believed that if they didn't follow their orders, the gods would not accept them, so they obeyed the Spanish orders. To sum it all up, they believed that the Spanish explorers was the coming of Quetzalcoatl, but it really wasn't.
