  • The 239 Year Timeline of America's Involvement in Military Conflict
    The 239 Year Timeline Of America’s Involvement in Military Conflict By Isaac Davis Region: USA Global Research, December 20, 2015 Theme: History, US NATO War Agenda Activist Post 18 December 2015 I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one. – President Theodore Roosevelt The American public and the world have long since been warned of the dangers of allowing the military industrial complex to become such an integral part of our economic survival. The United States is the self-proclaimed angel of democracy in the world, but just as George Orwell warned, war is the health of the state, and in the language of newspeak, democracy is the term we use to hide the reality of the nature of our warfare state. In truth, the United States of America has been engaged in some kind of war during 218 out of the nation’s total 239 years of existence. Put another way, in the entire span of US history, this country has only experienced 21 years without conflict. For a sense of perspective on this sobering statistic, consider these4 facts about the history of US involvement in military conflict: Pick any year since 1776 and there is about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year. No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.” The U.S. has never gone a decade without war. The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.

    Pojoaque Valley Schools Social Studies CCSS Pacing Guide 7th Grade *Skills adapted from Kentucky Department of Education ** Evidence of attainment/assessment, Vocabulary, Knowledge, Skills and Essential Elements adapted from Wisconsin Department of Education and Standards Insights Computer-Based Program Version 2 2016- 2017 ADVANCED CURRICULUM – 7th GRADE (Social Studies with ELA CCSS and NGSS) Version 2 1 Pojoaque Valley Schools Social Studies Common Core Pacing Guide Introduction The Pojoaque Valley Schools pacing guide documents are intended to guide teachers’ use of New Mexico Adopted Social Studies Standards over the course of an instructional school year. The guides identify the focus standards by quarter. Teachers should understand that the focus standards emphasize deep instruction for that timeframe. However, because a certain quarter does not address specific standards, it should be understood that previously taught standards should be reinforced while working on the focus standards for any designated quarter. Some standards will recur across all quarters due to their importance and need to be addressed on an ongoing basis. The Standards are not intended to be a check-list of knowledge and skills but should be used as an integrated model of literacy instruction to meet end of year expectations. The Social Studies CCSS pacing guides contain the following elements: • Strand: Identify the type of standard • Standard Band: Identify the sub-category of a set of standards. • Benchmark: Identify the grade level of the intended standards • Grade Specific Standard: Each grade-specific standard (as these standards are collectively referred to) corresponds to the same-numbered CCR anchor standard. Put another way, each CCR anchor standard has an accompanying grade-specific standard translating the broader CCR statement into grade- appropriate end-of-year expectations.

Metcalf Interviews Conducted by Eleanor Swent in 1994 Copyright @ 1995 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Norman Cleaveland dated December 15, 1994. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

He meets a cattle company traveling up the Goodnight-Loving Trail in New Mexico Territory; and not only do the cowboys give Silas a very real western adventure, they offer him a spiritual journey as well. Each chapter of this guide is divided into locations of the territory traversed in the book’s cattle drive which happens to loosely follow the famous Goodnight-Loving Trail. The guide offers history about the time period and definitions of words mentioned in the book. Each chapter has three sections: ● Historical definitions about cowboys and New Mexico Territory ● Zen/Buddhist concepts and definitions ● Trip information for those who want to make the trek themselves including what to see and where to stay along the way. The guide also contains maps, photos and questions to help guide you through the journey.

    How many wars have there been? Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history. At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. Jul 6, 2003 How many wars has America had between 1776 and 2017? The U.S. Has Been At War 222 Out of 239 Years. An interesting statistic: America has been at war 93% of the time – 222 out of 239 years. Another way to put it: the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth. (Mar. 19, 2017) To put this in perspective: * No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president.

The map includes the Beaubine and Miranda or Maxwell Grant, extending into Southern Colorado. History of the Maxwell Grant The lands covered in the Maxwell Land Grant were originally tribal lands belonging to Jicarilla Apache Indians. Carlos Beaubien was a French-Canadian trapper. His partner, Guadalupe Miranda was the secretary to Governor Manuel Armijo in Santa Fe. On January 8, 1841, Beaubien and Miranda petitioned Armijo for a land grant, in exchage for their agreement to colonize and cultivate the land. Beaubien and Miranda failed to prove up the grant for the next two years. On February 13, 1843, they asked the Justice of the Peace in Taos to sign an order promising them possession of the land. The justice affirmed that he had marked the boundaries of the grant and that Beaubien and Miranda were in full possession of the land grant. Lucien Bonaparte Maxwell was a pioneer, explorer and adventurer who married Luz Beaubien, the daughter of Carlos Beaubien. Beaubien hired Maxwell to manage his interests, and Maxwell and his wife settled in Rayado, New Mexico in 1849. In 1860, Maxwell built a large home in Cimarron, a stop on the Mountain Branch of the Santa Fe Trail.

MILITIA POSSES: THE TERRITORIAL MILITIA IN CIVIL LAW ENFORCEMENT IN NEW MEXICO TERRITORY, 1877-1883 LARRY D. BALL As THE FRONTIER ADYANCED WESTWARD in the nineteenth cen­ tury, the unsteady world in which these pioneers settled attracted many lawless persons. The civil lawmen of the territories pos­ sessed only limited resources with which to suppress civil disturb­ ances or pursue bandits. The posse comitatus, the body of private citizens obligated to assist local officers, often failed to overawe badmen and sometimes sympathized with the troublemakers. When outbreaks of lawlessness occurred, lawmen sought sub­ stitutes. In the late 1870s and early 1880s, Governors Lew Wal­ lace and Lionel Sheldon confronted serious outbreaks of crime in several counties of New Mexico Territory. The extraordinary degree of this violence and wrongdoing constrained these ex­ ecutives to substitute militiamen for the usual citizens in posses.
