| | Slavery in Early Texas |
| | A great many immigrants found their way into Texas before the summer of 1822, most of them bearing contracts signed by Austin or his agents, in which they were promised land in accordance with the plan already mentioned. | | | But difficulties arose, for some reason the governor of Texas declined to put the settlers in possession of the promised lands, and Austin felt that the situation demanded his presence in the City of Mexico, where Congress was in session. | | | The petition of Moses Austin for permission to settle an Anglo-American colony in Texas was officially granted in January, 1821. |

| | Robertson, Leo Strauss on Early Modern Philosophy |
| | To put it bluntly: the claim of this paper is that Strauss reads into the writings of early modern political philosophers the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries' revolutionary result. | | | Since for Strauss modernity had at its beginning a fundamental reformulation of political philosophy, in order to grasp the nature of modernity, and thereby better to understand our contemporary crisis, we are required to return to the early modern political thinkers--those who initiated the project of modern political philosophy. | | | The originators of modernity, the early modern thinkers, appear to argue for such a synthesis, and so for Strauss, either they were contradictory or their apparent contradictions hid a deeply consistent radical humanism. |

| | Early modern Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Common start dates include 1453, the fall of Constantinople, but Spain and Portugal entered the early modern age with the first documented European voyage to the Americas, by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and Vasco da Gama's voyage to India (1498) set off the Age of Discovery. | | | The early modern period is characterized by the rise to importance of science, cumulative and increasingly rapid technological progress, secularized civic politics and capitalist economics, all monitored by the nation state. | | | Spanning the transition at the opening of the early modern period, the European Renaissance is being seen by historians now as much as the culmination of late Medieval civilization (especially north of the Alps) as an earlier generation saw in it a revolutionary rebirth of classical culture (especially in Central and Northern Italy). |

| | Early Swedish history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A minority view disputes the Swedish origins of at least part of the early Rus, hypothesizing that the princes invited by the population of Ladoga stemmed from the royal house of Haithabu. | | | Finally, on his death in 1470, the three kingdoms were reunited under Christian II of Denmark, the prelates and higher nobility of Sweden being favourable to the union, though the great majority of the Swedish people always detested it as a foreign usurpation. | | | But the viceroyalty was too casual and anomalous an institution to rally the nation around it permanently, and when the tyranny of Christian II became intolerable the Swedish people elected Gustavus Eriksson Vasa, who as viceroy had already driven out the Danes, king of Sweden at Strängnäs on June 6, 1523. |
