Mission Espada


Mission San Francisco de la Espada




Founded in 1690 as San Francisco de los Tejas near present-day Weches, Texas, this was the first mission in Texas. In 1731, the mission transferred to the San Antonio River area and renamed Mission San Francisco de la Espada. A friary was built in 1745, and the church was completed in 1756.

Following government policy, Franciscan missionaries sought to make life within mission communities closely resemble that of Spanish villages and Spanish culture. In order to become Spanish citizens and productive inhabitants, Native Americans learned vocational skills. As plows, farm implements, and gear for horses, oxen, and mules fell into disrepair, blacksmithing skills soon became indispensable. Weaving skills were needed to help clothe the inhabitants. As buildings became more elaborate, mission occupants learned masonry and carpentry skills under the direction of craftsmen contracted by the missionaries.

After secularization, these vocational skills proved beneficial to post-colonial growth of San Antonio. The legacy of these Native American artisans is still evident throughout the city of San Antonio today.

Historia del dia de la Independencia de Ecuador

Spanish

Hoy 10 de Agosto Los Ecuatorianos estudiantes del grupo IALS celebramos el dia de la Independencia de nuestro amado pais .
Todos los estudiantes Ecuatorianos hicimos una reunion y 2 amigos mas, hicimos una parrillada y disfrutamos todo el dia hasta la noche, tuvimos un grandiosa momento tiempo.


"SIMON BOLIVAR LIBERTADOR"


The struggle for independence in the Quito Audiencia was part of amovement
throughout Spanish America led by criollos (persons of pureSpanish descentb
orn in the New World). The criollos resentment of the privileges enjoyed by th
epeninsulares was the fuel of revolution against colonial rule. The spark was
Napoleon's invasion of Spain, after which hedeposed King Ferdinand VII and,
in July 1808, placed hisbrother Joseph Bonaparte on the Spanish throne.

Shortly afterward, Spanish citizens, unhappy at the usurpation of thethrone by
the French,began organizing local juntas loyal to Ferdinand.A group of Quito's
leading citizens followed suit, and on August 10, 1809,hey seized power from the
local representatives of Joseph Bonaparte 4 inthe name of Ferdinand. Thus, this
early revolt against colonial rule(one of the first in Spanish America) was, para
do xically, anexpression ofloyalty to the Spanish king.

It quickly became apparent that Quito's criollo rebels lacked the antici 4 pated po
pular support for their cause. As loyalist troops approachedQuito, therefore, they
peacefully turned power back to the crownauthorities. Despite assurances again
streprisals, the returning Spanishauthorities (Bonaparte's men) proved to be mer
ciless with the rebels and,in the process offerreting out participants in the Quito re
volt, jailed andabused many innocent citizens.

They actions, in turn, bred popularresentment among Quiteños, who, after seve
ral days of streetfighting in August 1810, won an agreement to be governed by
a juntato bedominated by criollos, although with the president of theAudiencia of
Quito acting asits figurehead leader.
