The plantation was then sold to Kingsley 's nephew Kingsley Beatte Gibbs around 1839. However, by the end of the Civil War, the plantation are shifted from being mainly agricultural to a recreation. This recreation era started when the Rollins Family moved into Kingsley Plantation, remodeling it and renaming it the Homestead. They started selling the land and creating hotels and clubs; country clubs Ribault Club and Fort George Club were built in the 1920 's and are now part of Florida 's state park.

The new era began, Barack Obama and Raúl Castro announced that the United States of America and Cuba will restore full diplomatic relations for the first time in more than 50 years since severing ties in 1961. Barston 2006, defines diplomatic relations as “the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of states. It usually refers to international diplomacy, the conduct of international relations through the intercession of professional diplomats with regard to issues of peace-making, trade, economics and culture” (p. 1). One of the major areas it will address is the lifting of the Cuban embargo. The embargo restricts trade, travel and communication between the two states which hinders the economic development of

For the past five decades, the US has imposed economic sanctions on Cuba with the North American nation gradually tightening the sanctions over the years. Broadly, the sanctions affect imports, exports international financial transactions and shipping. Whilst majority of the sanctions were imposed in 1960 after the rise to power of Fidel Castro following the disposition of the Batista regime, the first US embargo on Cuba was imposed on the sale of arms in 1958. In 1960, the US government imposed an embargo on exports to Cuba except food and medicine. In 1962, the US expanded the embargo to include all Cuban imports.

Although the second try for colonization was more of a success than the previous one. On the contrary, their attempt not only unlocked trade and expansion, but also death to the natives by the hands of the Europeans and ravish diseases. Diseases such as influenza, smallpox, measles and typhus that drastically reduced the indigenous population in the Caribbean within 50 years. And by the end of the sixteenth century, the population in the Americas that was once between 60-110 million was cut to a mere 6

During the revolution, Guevara served as his second lieutenant, coordinating the tactics of the revolutionaries. His Guerrilla warfare tactics would prove to be very successful, as it enabled a much smaller force (Numbered In the hundreds) to defeat Batista’s army. As a result of the key role that Guevara played during the revolution, Castro appointed Guevara as his Minister of Industry, where he implemented many reforms that greatly improved Cuba’s Schooling system. At the time of Castro’s rise to power, the literacy rate in Cuba’s was between 60-70%, which was greatly attributed to the general lack of resources in remote areas. The campaign focused on teaching the lower-class citizens how to read and write by constructing new schools and training teachers.

Before the European settlers arrived in America even the Native Americans had their own slaves. Slavery was a very argumentative issue in America and, in fact, was the root cause of both the Haitian revolution and the American Civil War. The importation of slaves to Europe began when the Portuguese Crown gave up its monopoly of the slave trade in Europe leading to private ownership of slaves. This caused the European settlers, especially the Portuguese, to bring more slaves to the Americas directly from Africa. The Spanish were the first to use African slaves in the New World on islands such as Cuba and Hispaniola with the first African slaves arriving in Hispaniola in 1501.

Fidel Castro tried to run for government in 1952, serving as a candidate for the Cuban Peoples Party. His ability to speak helped him make followers out of many of the young people in the party. The party was expected to win the election, but General Barista took controll of the country through the use of the armed forces. Fidel tried twice to overthrow Barista’s dictatorship, the first attempt in 1953 failed, and Fidel was sentenced to jail for 15 years. He served 2 years before Barista freed Fidel due to public demand.

Introduction The Cuban revolution took place in 26th July 1953 and ended in 1st January 1959. It was caused by overthrowing the president at that time, Fulgencio Batista. It started when Fidel Castro led a group of rebels against the president of Cuba Fulgencio Batista. At first it started with a small group of supporters, then the group of rebels started to expand and raise awareness when Fidel went on a Propaganda tour, which then turned into a civil revolution. The group of rebels were unsatisfied with their dictator, and demanded freedom which slowly caused Cuba to be a communist country.

Around most cities, there is an estimated fifteen percent of people living in extreme poverty in Cuba, but the statistics are at least 10 years old. Although, compared to the rest of Latin America, Cuba is doing much better as a result of the economic opening that has permitted a number of Cubans to earn more and has also allowed many others to start their own small businesses (“Poverty in Cuba, Welfare in a Broke Country”). The embargo has resulted in calamitous consequences for Cuba, whose economic infrastructure substantially depends on dealing with the United States. According to Cuban government estimates, the embargo will result in a loss of roughly $1.126 trillion in the next semi-century (Renwick). Bruno Rodriguez, Cuban Foreign Minister, railed against the embargo, saying “The human damages caused by the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba are incalculable.

In Steve Olson’s article, “The End of Race: Hawaii and the Mixing of Peoples,” he mainly talks about how the mixing of race can eventually lead to the pure races being meaningless due to there being a lot of mixed race and eventually rarely having a pure race. Olson talks about “Hapa haoles” in the beginning of his article, which means half European, half non-European. The first Hapa Haoles were born on the island of Maui in the end of 1779. This was the beginning of the mixed race. The European’s, which were considered dirty, “reduced the native population [of Polynesians] to fewer than 50,000,” in Hawaii at the year 1891, because of the diseases they brought(Olson, 301).

One law was the Interstate Commerce Act which helped to economically aid workers. This aided workers because railroads had to openly publish their rates, so their companies could not be charged more than they deserve to be charged. Prior to this law, railroads could charge large companies very little and small companies too much. Another way the industrial worker was affected by government actions was through the Chinese Exclusion Act, which affected the workers socially. This act outlawed all Chinese immigration to America for ten years, although it actually lasted until 1943.

II) Racial Makeup of Miami: Demographics and Distribution: A) Demographics The city of Miami is defined by the ascendancy of Hispanics. At 63.5% they illustrate the majority of the population, with Blacks at 18.5% and Whites at 15.4% following behind. (Figure A) The Hispanic population can most directly be attributed to the immigration of Cuban exiles during the mid and late twentieth century.
