Abstract:
Spain successfully colonized large tracts along the North American Atlantic coast but English settlements in North Carolina shifted the balance of power. The author looks to historic accounts of Spanish diplomatic and military reactions to English settlements in the New World through the end of the 17th century. In so doing, the author analyzes relations between the two European powers during this period, as well as, how the New World colonization was defined by both nations.

Celebration of America’s two hundredth anniversary included reliving a special part of US history. To help celebrants virtually step back in time were re-enactments of Colonial lifeways.

The history lesson learned: there were more commonalities than differences between the distant past and the present.

Abstract:
Her story was an illustration of the important role women play in history, pre-American Colonial and Colonial in particular. While the men helped to hold the fledging nation together on the battlefield, women helped to hold the fledgling nation together on the homefront. Where Flora’s story becomes especially memorable is her influence felt before immigrating from Scotland to North Carolina. That venture commemorated in this edition involved her helping the pretender to the British throne, Bonnie Prince Charlie, escape to France in 1746.
