1. The Heritage Preservation Association (HPA) is an international, non-profit, membership organization dedicated to preserving the heritage, history, culture and symbols of the Old South and Colonial United States.
HPA was formed in 1993 to combat then Georgia Governor Zell Miller's attempts to censor the Georgia state flag. We then spread to other states to fight what has become a movement of cultural genocide on our American heritage and symbols. HPA has members in all 50 states and 6 different countries through-out the world. Our common bond is the love for the American South and its rich culture and history.
This website talked about how they want to preserve the culture of others.
2. In one part of the site they say that they do not want to foster hatred and they do not let others. They want to be open for all and so far there are a number of states involved with this group.
3. It sounds like a good thing that they are doing, to promote awareness about these groups. Mostly because they say all are welcome.
4. It seems like this is a good site, and they say "We welcome people of all races, countries, religions and political affiliations who share our love for the heritage of the American South and encourage them to join us in the fight against cultural censorship.
HPA has no political goals or agendas, other than defending the culture, heritage and symbols of Old South and its colonial roots." A place that says that they welcome all people no matter what sounds like a good thing to me.

Why I hate A&F
1. This article talks about the history of A & F.
2. This article starts off talking about how A&F was made to gear their clothes towards Gay, white men. Then later on in the article it talks about how the store come to be. The man name Abercrombie had a store of his own. But one day he decide to expand that store, so it became A&F. After his friend Fitch decided to go into business with him.
3.Why does he not like A&F? He said in there that he did not like A&F because the only people who could afford it was rich people and he also did not like it because he says that "a version of it is what is at work in the politics of race in the us. So he does not like it because he feels that it is keeping the stereotypes and race discrimination alive.
4. This was a very long article and i was hoping that it would say I hate A&F for the following reasons. However I found it interesting that he does not like it because it deals a lot with stereotypes, and only certain people can buy their stuff. I would think in order to be in a good business you would want to sell more stuff at a lower price than very few at a high price.

2. Foreigners in their native land: manifest Destiny in the south west. The Irish were sent to America and they worked on the manifest destiny. They were kicked out of their homeland and had to make America their homeland.
3. English, of "Pure Spanish blood were the upper class, and the laboring class, the laborers went down by regular shades, growing more dark with "pure" Indians at the bottom.
4. The rebels said they were defending the interests of American settlers against unfair and arbitrary Mexican rule.
The center of rebellion for independence was in San Antonio.
5. Race is the Irish, Ethnicity is the Indians. The Irish had money and were white, the Indians didn't have money and the darker they were the more ethnic they were.
