Why are native Americans called Indians or red Indians?

User Avatar

Asked by Laury Homenick

Because it's all down to an ancient mistake. When Cristopher Columbus set out his intention was to find another route to India - another country, another continent entirely. Then he stumbled upon America instead. But he was so convinced that he'd reached India that he called the natives "Indians" - which they are not - and the name stuck.

On top of that the native Americans aren't one homogenous group, they're a fair number of different tribes, with some fairly large cultural differences between them. Lumping them all together ignores those differences, and deny them their right to part of their history.

Why South Carolina is called the Palmetto State?

User Avatar

Asked by Alek Batz

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.

User Avatar

Asked by Ryan Lindgren

No, people do not ride kangaroos in Australia, for several reasons.

  • Kangaroos are protected native animals. It would be illegal to ride one.
  • Kangaroos are unable to carry the weight of people, including children.
  • No person would be able to stay on a kangaroo with the extreme hopping motion of the animal.

Why do Arabs and Latinos look alike?

User Avatar

Asked by Kaleb Becker

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.

IoT has different advantages with its complete life-cycle and when it particularly comes to eCommerce, it increases the efficiency by empowering automation for the retail and the eCommerce Industry. An example of the above would be Amazon Go. What they have done is that they have automated the entire process of buying the goods from a physical store.
