Why South Carolina is called the Palmetto State?
The palmetto is a short, pretty, welll-shaped, broad-topped palm tree very common along the South Carolina coast. It's the state tree and on the state flag.
SC is called the Palmettto State because of the prevalence of these trees in the coastal regions and because of the palmetto's role in repelling a British attempt to seize Charleston Harbor (called Charles Towne Harbor then) during the American Revolution.
Charleston was the major and richest city of the southern United States and control of its harbor, then the second biggest port of the new nation, was critical to the patriots' cause. Charleston could not be allowed to fall or the fight could be over in the south before it had hardly begun.
When the South Carolinians learned of the British approach, they hastily built a new fort on Sullivan's Island, past which the fleet must pass to enter the harbor and the city. From here the defenders would fire their cannon on the enemy ships and block their passage.
The fort was constructed of Palmetto trees, which stood in abundance in the area, shortening the time necessary to get building materials. Even so, when the British navy arrived, the fort was so incomplete that it didn't even yet have a rear wall. Worse, the defenders were very low on ammo, but even in compensating for the ammo shortage, the palmetto log walls at the front and sides of the fort played a part.
The British ships pounded the fort relentlessly all day with their cannon and could come in dangerously close, because the South Carolinians, having to preserve their ammo, fired only to drive the ships back when they were at close range. The SC flag was shot down again and again, but each time a Sgt William Jasper returned it under fire, to show SC defiance and refusal to surrender.
In spite of the close range, the British naval guns couldn't destroy the fort, because the palmetto walls were strong, but soft and spongy. They absorbed the beating, rather than being blown to bits as most wood, brick, or stone would have been, and held hour after hour under the furious assault.
Eventually, the British saw they couldn't succeed, that their naval guns couldn't destroy the simple wood fort, and at dusk they withdrew and retreated.
Charleston remained free for several more years - thanks to the palmetto - giving time for the new nation to get on its military feet with an army that would eventually win and send the British home.

Many countries in the New World and elsewhere celebrate the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas, which occurred on October 12, 1492 in the Julian calendar and October 21, 1492 in the modern Gregorian calendar, as an official holiday. The day is celebrated as Columbus Day in the United States, as Día de la Raza (Day of the Race) in many countries in Latin America, as Día de las Culturas(Day of the Cultures) in Costa Rica, as Discovery Day in The Bahamas, as Día de la Hispanidad (Spanish Day) and National Day in Spain, and as Día de la Resistencia Indígena (Day of Indigenous Resistance) in Venezuela. These holidays have been celebrated unofficially since the late 18th century, and officially in various countries since the early 20th century.
Columbus Day became an official state holiday in Colorado in 1905. It became a federal holiday in 1970. People have ritually remembered Columbus beginning at least in the Colonial period. In 1792, New York City and other eastern U.S. cities celebrated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World. In 1892, President Benjamin Harrison called upon the people of the United States to celebrate Columbus Day on the 400th anniversary of the event. During the 400 year anniversary in 1892, teachers, preachers, poets and politicians used Columbus Day rituals to teach ideals of patriotism. These patriotic rituals were framed around themes such as support for war, citizenship boundaries, the importance of obedience to the nation, and celebrating social change as progress.
Catholic immigration in the mid-nineteenth century induced discrimination from anti-immigrant activists such as the Ku Klux Klan. Like many other struggling immigrant communities, Catholics developed organizations to fight discrimination and provide insurance for the struggling immigrants. The organization, the Knights of Columbus, chose Columbus as the masthead to symbolize their rights to citizenship: one of their own, a fellow Catholic, had discovered America.
Some Italian-Americans observe Columbus Day as a celebration of their heritage, the first occasion being in New York City on October 12, 1866. Columbus Day was first popularized as a holiday in the United States through the lobbying of Angelo Noce, a first generation Italian, in Denver. The first official non-centennial Columbus Day was decreed by Colorado governor Jesse F. McDonald in 1905 and made state law in 1907.
Since 1971, the holiday has been commemorated in the U.S. on the second Monday in October, the same day as Thanksgiving in neighboring Canada. It is generally observed today by banks, the bond market, the U.S. Postal Service and other federal agencies, most state government offices, and some school districts; however, most businesses and stock exchanges remain open.

Why do Arabs and Latinos look alike?
First of all, Latin(o) is NOT a race.
Latin(o) is a category that lumps Latin speaking people.
Thus, people who speak a Latin derived language.
The original Latins were originally the Romans, that made a diaspora during the Romanization/Latinization of Europe.
Hence, modern day countries such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Romania.
If you were referring to the people of Latin America as Latinos, you are wrong about the whole subject.
The people of Latin America are NOT racially Latin(o) nor ethnically related to the Latins of Europe.
Latin Americans such as Mexicans, Central and South Americans are racially descendants of the Native-Americans, such as Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, etc.
This being said...
We have the Latins of Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Romania).
These are racially White/European and culturally Latin.
Then...
We have the Latins of America (Mexicans, Central and South Americans).
These people are racially Native-American, but culturally Latin.
As for Arabs...
Arabs look nothing alike Latin(o)s. Neither from Europe or America.
Why native Americans are referred as American Indian?
when Christopher Columbus arrived in america he thought he was in India so he refered to the natives as indians
"indigenous"--pre-Columbian inhabitants of North and South America. Later shortened to Indians. The word Indigenous means "native to".
