Throughout the History of the United States of America:A brief analysis of life during the time of the colonies

From the very moment of the arrival of the English to American land in April 26th, 1607, and up to the Independence movement in July 2nd, 1775, life changed drastically for the Indian groups that lived in the northern part of the American Continent. The intention of this paper is to enhance the differences between life before, while and after the Colonization of the US for the Native Americans, for the English who lived in America, and for the slaves who came from Africa, for all these races together are part of what today we know as the American culture.
1607, a year of expedition, of expansion. It was the year when England finally sought to conquer land in America, as a result of Queen Elizabeth’s victory over the Spanish Armada. This expansion was due to two main reasons. One, the search for new land to grow crops, since in England land was devoted to the profitable market of cotton and the origin of the scare on food for the English people. The other one, to find in America the promise of freedom of religion, a place where followers of different doctrines could live safe from the Anglican Church’s eyes.
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Delaware, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, and Rhode Island. Once the thirteen colonies were functioning, in fact even before they were all established, life began to change for the American Indies. Following, there are some characteristics of their lives once the English came to “share” their territories.
The English had a very different way of colonizing their new territories. They came and established in the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and began expanding towards the center of the country. This situation supposed a kind of shift from part of the Natives, even though the English paid to get land from them. While many moved away from the white population, some others were inducted into the new communities. Thus, their lifestyle suffered the first change, adapting from one culture to another.
Before the arrival of the English, Native Americans lived in scattered settlements. Due to their geographic location, they were mostly nomadic and fierce warriors. They lived in harmony with nature, and worshipped its elements as their divinities. They lived basically on recollection and hunting, but not many of them developed agricultural skills due to the poorly conditioned soil they inhabited.
But with the arrival of the colonists, Native Americans began to be siphoned from their lands. Nevertheless, few were the issues based on these matters –though they did exist-, for English colonists paid for the territories they took from the Natives. However, the European Imperialist countries were far from satisfying their thirst for power. And, in those times, power meant domain.
In order to block out a possible threat from the Spanish colonies in the south, Georgia was founded. It was basically meant as a barrier that would mean resistance and protection for the other 12 English colonies. It was inhabited by the most heinous humans England could get her hands at. Population was well-defined into races in the future United States from the very start.
Unlike southern colonies, English people did not have the costume of mixing with the native race, at least not from the beginning. Mostly, families came together, for the head right system granted land to new arrivals as a strategy for attracting colonists. Of course, this was a special feature reserved for the English exclusively. The strategy obviously proved effective: Eventually, colonists stopped being military population only. And by so, a new kind of population was soon required.
As wealthy English began to arrive, commodities such as laborers, servants and slaves proved necessary. For attracting them to travel to the Americas, a deal such as the head right system was proposed: If a wealthy-enough family paid the one-way ticket for a servant, and he or she paid his or her patrons back with a few years of servitude, the said servant would –if desired- be freed. Also, after 12 years of the establishment of the new colonies, African slaves were being brought to Virginia and the rest as newly servants, with some of the rights reserved for original English servants. Of course, they were not given land when freed, which was the cause of the start of delinquency and poverty in the region. Nevertheless, from that moment on, the Land of Freedom started gaining its pseudonym.
Throughout the years, from the moment of the establishment of Virginia and up to the moment when the United States if America got their independency back in 1775, things changed for the population. Even today, they keep changing. This shows us that evolution is the only way to go ahead in life, especially for a country that has lived through the years… and promises to keep going…

Y la mentira se vuelve verdad...

Hay un hombre sentado de frente a las teclas del piano, esperando a que llegue una canción, pues la musa que se ha ido la ha dejado herido, y su honda pasión ahoga su inspiración.
La melodía llega, terrible y dolorosa. Flota en el aire, sale a la calle. El pianista la desprecia y deja de tocar; la frustración encierra sus dedos, que poco a poco dejan de maniobrar.
Una luz en la oscuridad; un punto de sombra enmedio de un destello. Busca alejarse de su realidad. Y la verdad se vuelve mentira.

Hay una mujer con una pluma en mano; intenta por el papel hacerla correr. Desesperada, al papel no llega nada, y su voz no consigue la canción ejecutar.
Un peso muerto cae sube tu pecho, aprisionando su corazón. Los pulmones no llena desde hace mucho tiempo, y las lágrimas contra las que una vez luchó le duelen porque ahora no logran salir.
Busca paz en la tormenta; siente tormento durante la paz. Pero brilla a lo lejos una esperanza. Y la fuerza que tiene, la convicción que la alimenta, la hace invencible, la hace perfecta. Y hasta la mentira se vuelve verdad.

Los sueños: Es verdad que solo ocurren dentro de nuestra mente, pero si la mente es "real", lo que ella crea es "real" también... Hay quien dice que la religión -sin especificar cuál de las muchas existentes- no son "verdad", que no son "realidad", como las ciencias con las que nos gusta afanarnos para intentar hallar una razón y una causa a cada detalle de la vida. Pero pensemos en lo que nos dicen estas doctrinas "idealistas" cual si fuesen "imaginarios". Hata en la ciencia se emplean los "imaginarios", como la raíz cuadrada de -1. No podemos verlo concretado jamás; no podemos tener una prueba tangible de que existe, pero mientras se incluya en ecuaciones, mientras sea tomado en cuenta, mientras evolucione y se entremezcle cuidadosamente con nuestro mundo "verdadero", se pueden realizar un sin fin de cálculos que culminan en principios aplicables a la "realidad". Entonces, ¿qué es la ficción, sino un ingrediente más en la realidad? ¿Qué es en verdad... la "verdad"?
