Brittney‚ Thank you for that insight and information and excellent post! I had not heard or read before‚ that Christopher Columbus was imprisoned for his crimes and treatment of the Spaniards in his colony‚ and lost many of his titles and his wealth.

Millennia ago‚ two kinds of humans walked the earth‚ side by side: those who had been gifted with magic—and those who had not.

Myths Laid to Rest: Death‚ Burial‚ and Memory in the American South The performance of distinctive rituals associated with the burial of the dead establishes a basis for the creation not only of a cultural identity‚ but also of communal memory. For the enslaved population in the antebellum South‚ the burial of fellow slaves provided a means of cultural expression.
