Q. I'm sick of a couple of crappy red states making the entire country look bad, and dragging the rest of us into their filth. Without all those hicks, the average American IQ will go through the roof, and we'll free ourselves from millions of Conservative voters.
A. Your question lacks merit in several areas. First, you have an amazing lack of knowledge of the historical events that have lead up to the current problems. What do you consider to be a "red state"? Secondly, the states that are those settled by the Spanish Conquest include Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and California. Do you seriously want to deport all these people? Wouldn't it be easier to cede these states back to Mexico? Even that wouldn't solve the "problem". What would prevent the potential "illegal" immigrants from returning?
Some significant dates in the history of Spanish conquest in North America:
1492 Columbus, on the first of his four voyages, visits the Caribbean, returning to Europe with Indian captives.
1519 Hernando Cortés wages war on the Aztecs, claiming victory in 1521, and disease begins to decimate the native population.
1513 Juan Ponce de Leon lands on Florida's east coast on April 2, giving it the name La Florida.
1526 Spanish settle a colony, San Miguel de Guadalupe, at Sapelo Bay, Georgia.
1528 Expedition with Cabeza de Vaca lands on Florida's west coast and sets out to explore the interior in search of a passage to Tampico.
1536 Cabeza de Vaca and Esteban are among four Spaniards to survive eight years in the interior of America. They arrive in Mexico City with stories of their survival and of large Indian communities in the interior.
1539 Hernando de Soto, with 600 men, lands on Florida's west coast and sets out to explore the interior.
1539 Esteban is killed at Zuni and Fray Marcos returns to Mexico.
1540 Coronado's conquest of New Mexico and the Seven Cities of Cibola begins.
1565 Spanish found San Augustin (now St. Augustine, Florida) and soon capture Fort Caroline.
1581 Slaves brought to San Augustin, Florida.
1598 Settlement begins in New Mexico under Juan de Onate as El Camino Real is established between El Paso del Norte and Santa Cruz, New Mexico.
added:
1627 Spanish establish Castillo de San Marcos at San Augustin, Florida.
1680 Pueblo Indians revolt against Spanish in New Mexico.
1729 Spanish govern Texas from Presidio Nuestra Senora del Pilar de Los Adaes (in Louisiana) through 1773.
1769 Settlement of Mission San Diego de Alcala, near San Diego, is the first in a series of twenty Spanish missions reaching far into present-day California.
1776 Spanish establish Mission San Francisco de Asis, San Francisco, California.
1810 Mexico declares independence from Spain, bringing the lands from Texas to California under the government of Mexico by 1821.
1819 Spain cedes Florida to the U.S. on February 22.
In the early 1800s, Mexico s offers of cheap land lured many American emigrants to Texas. The Mexican government required that Americans live as Mexican citizens, but few settlers adopted Mexican ways. When Mexico enforced its authority on the colony, outraged Texans prepared for war. Texan forces enjoyed some early victories, but Mexican General Santa Anna s superior army soundly defeated the Texans at the Alamo and Goliad. A surprise attack in the Battle of San Jacinto led to the capture of Santa Anna and the end of the war. The newly established Republic of Texas voted in favor of becoming part of the United States.

The U.S.-Mexican War�(1846-1848):
The Mexican-American War was the first major conflict driven by the idea of "Manifest Destiny"; the belief that America had a God-given right, or destiny, to expand the country's borders from 'sea to shining sea'. This belief would eventually cause a great deal of suffering for many Mexicans, Native Americans and United States citizens. Following the earlier Texas War of Independence from Mexico, tensions between the two largest independent nations on the North American continent grew as Texas eventually became a U.S. state. Disputes over the border lines sparked military confrontation, helped by the fact that President Polk eagerly sought a war in order to seize large tracts of land from Mexico.
The second basic cause of the war was the Texas War of Independence and the subsequent annexation of that area to the United States. Not all American westward migration was unwelcome. In the 1820's and 1830's, Mexico, newly independent from Spain, needed settlers in the underpopulated northern parts of the country. An invitation was issued for people who would take an oath of allegiance to Mexico and convert to Catholicism, the state religion. Thousands of Americans took up the offer and moved, often with slaves, to the Mexican province of Texas. Soon however, many of the new "Texicans" or "Texians" were unhappy with the way the government in Mexico City tried to run the province. In 1835, Texas revolted, and after several bloody battles, the Mexican President, Santa Anna, was forced to sign the Treaty of Velasco in 1836 . This treaty gave Texas its independence, but many Mexicans refused to accept the legality of this document, as Santa Anna was a prisoner of the Texans at the time. The Republic of Texas and Mexico continued to engage in border fights and many people in the United States openly sympathized with the U.S.-born Texans in this conflict. As a result of the savage frontier fighting, the American public developed a very negative stereotype against the Mexican people and government. Partly due to the continued hostilities with Mexico, Texas decided to join with the United States, and on July 4, 1845, the annexation gained approval from the U.S. Congress.

What would be a beautiful and exotic country?
Q. I'm writing a story and it's about a girl called Amily Hawks. Amily is an English girl who is quite rich, elegant, but very naive. I'd like her to live in a beautiful and exotic country that exists in real life as well. Do you have any suggestions?
A. You do not state the time period.
You also do not state the crisis or climax, is there a war going to happen, is she going to fall in love, be a mistress?
If 1800 to early 1900 the far east is the most exotic. Second place would be Africa, southern not like Egypt.
If 1900 to 1950, then France, Italy, or Spain.
After 1950, then Australia, or the south sea islands.

What was the Cuban revolution and why was it important?
Q. as stated in the question. Was it important to both the US and Latin America? If so how?
A. U.S. Domination Over Cuba
Cuba came under the domination of U.S. imperialism as a result of the Spanish-American War of 1898. The Cubans had been fighting for their independence from Spain, but the U.S. seized on the situation to turn Cuba into a neo-colony.
Cuba achieved formal independence in 1898. But in 1901, the U.S. Congress passed the Platt Amendment. This amendment, which was incorporated into the Cuban constitution until 1934, set conditions for U.S. intervention in Cuba�s domestic affairs. And the U.S. landed marines in Cuba in 1906, 1912, 1917, and 1920. The amendment also established a U.S. military colony in Cuba�the Guantánamo naval base�that is now used as a detention camp and torture chamber in the U.S.�s war on the world.
By the 1950s, the U.S. controlled 80 percent of Cuban utilities, 90 percent of Cuban mines, close to 100 percent of the country�s oil refineries, 90 percent of its cattle ranches, and 40 percent of the sugar industry. Cuba also became an investor paradise for U.S. gambling syndicates, real estate operators, hotel owners, and mobsters. The U.S. propped up the repressive and widely hated regime of Fulgencio Batista. This was the backdrop for the Cuban revolution of 1959.
The Cuban revolution was a just and popular rising against U.S. imperialism. The U.S. was not reconciled to its defeat. The U.S. wanted to regain its lost holdings and profits. But of even greater concern, it worried about the example Cuba set for others in Latin America. The U.S. moved along two tracks in the early 1960s: to crush Cuba and stamp out revolutionary movements throughout the region; and to launch the Alliance for Progress�promoted as a free-market solution to poverty but serving only to deepen U.S. economic penetration of Latin America.
In 1961, the U.S. carried out the Bay of Pigs invasion, which the Cuban people defeated. The CIA tried several times to assassinate Castro. The U.S. blocked Cuba�s ability to have normal trade with Western countries.
By most social and economic indicators, Cuba by mid-century was among Latin America�s most highly developed countries. However, in the postwar period it was afflicted with lacklustre economic growth and a corrupt political dictatorship set up in 1952 by the same Batista who earlier had helped put his country on a seemingly democratic path. It was also a country whose long history of economic and other dependence on the United States had fed nationalist resentment, although control of the sugar industry and other economic sectors by U.S. interests was gradually declining.
