Positive Theology

[edit]

In Catholicism, "positive" theology is the discipline that derives dogmas from sources of faith (i.e., Scripture and Sacred Tradition) and explains them through conclusive arguments and proofs, frequently employing exegesis and history as aids. In contrast, "scolastic" theology philosophically appreciates, speculatively examines and elucidates material that dogma brings to light. Pope Pius X recognized that the theologian must by necessity embrace both disciplines in his encyclical, "Pascendi Dominici Gregis".

"Controversial" theology is a related discipline, which joins polemics to positive arguments, e.g., the letters of Cardinal Bellarmine.

Positive theology is not the precise opposite of "negative" theology, which is a type of scolastic theology that attempts to appreciate and define what God is not.

Burke County citizens participated in the Battle of Kings Mountain that pitted Appalachian frontiersmen against the loyalist forces of the British commander Ferguson at Kings Mountain, SC in the American Revolution, rather than waiting for him to come to them, militiamen throughout the Blue Ridge crossed over the mountains and thus were called the "Over Mountain Men". (Clark, "Burke County," p37-39)

The Battle of King's Mountain was fought near present day Blacksburg, South Carolina.

Etymology

[edit]

The city is named after the family of William Harrison Pitts.[1] In 1996, the town changed its name to "Cowboys" for a few weeks in support of the Dallas Cowboys, who faced the Pittsburgh Steelers that year in Super Bowl XXX.[2]

Edit Talk:Thomas Gumbleton

[edit]

Gumbleton may have invented the controversy surrounding his retirement. He is the only source for the stories "reporting" that Vatican removed him for violating Communio Episcoporum, so perhaps he made the whole thing up. There is no corroboration. realcostofprisons.org should not be a source. Statement about him signing Catholic Scholars Jubiliee Declaration is in wrong paragraph

Indiana Bicycle Company

[edit]

By the turn of the twentieth century, bicycle manufacturing had become a million-dollar industry in Indianapolis. The Indiana Bicycle Company, the largest bicycle manufacturer in the city, was founded in 1886. [1]

By the end of its first decade, the company occupied a large plant at the corner of East and Cook Streets, employing more than 1000 persons and producing 350 bicycles every 10 hours. In 1896 the company produced some 50,000 bicycles and operated branch stores in all major U.S. cities, including three locations in New York City. The $60 cost of the company’s popular “Waverley” brand bicycles in 1896 converts to roughly $1500 when adjusted for inflation. A mid-range carriage would cost more than twice this amount, even before factoring in the high cost of horses and their upkeep, making the bicycle both affordable and comparatively maintenance-free.

Located within what is now the Bayard Conservancy Preserve, also known as the John P. Hall, Sr. Nature Preserve, 3 mi. southeast of Green Cove Springs, near the end of Bayard Point, Clay County, Florida

The site was used as a ferry landing late in the 17th century. About 1716 the first fort was built by the Spanish. It was rebuilt and enlarged early in 1739. The following year the fort was captured by English and Indian forces led by James Oglethorpe, founder of the Georgia colony, during the War of Jenkin's Ear. On their withdrawal, later in the summer, they destroyed the fort and it was never rebuilt.

In 1716, however, it was home to a fortification built by the Spanish to protect the crossing across the St. Johns River and block ships from coming upstream.

While Fort San Francisco de Pupo has long since been destroyed, some signs that it once existed along the river still remain. In 1740, Gen. James Oglethorpe captured the fort from the Spanish and a trench dug by Oglethorpe's army to reinforce the fort is still visible.

Fort San Francisco de Pupo

Pupo is first mentioned in 1716 as the place where the trail from the Franciscan Indian Missions in Apalachee (present-day Tallahassee) to St. Augustine crossed the river. The Spanish government built the fort on the St Johns River sometime before 1737. Pupo teamed with Fort Picolata on the Eastern Shore, these {run on?} forts protected the river crossing and blocked ships from continuing upstream. In 1738 after an attack by the British-allied Yuchi Indians, the fort was enlarged to a 30-by-16 blockhouse, surrounded by a rampart of timber and earth. During General James Oglethorpe 1739-40 advance on St. Augustine, Lt. George Dunbar unsuccessfully attacked Pupo on the night of December 28th. On January 7th and 8th, Oglethorpe himself took two days to capture the Spanish blockhouses. Oglethorpe reinforced the fort with a trench, which is still visible. Upon the British retreat from Florida, Fort San Francisco de Pupo was destroyed. Though the fort was never rebuilt, the site remained a strategically important ferry crossing. In the 1820s, Florida's first federally built road, the Bellamy Road, used the river crossing on the route between St. Augustine and Pensacola.

Edit Article: East Florida

Spanish period

[edit]

Spain continued to administer East and West Florida as separate colonies. The Spanish offered favorable terms for acquiring land, which attracted many settlers from Spain as well as the newly formed United States. The increased number of settlers, as well as outlaws and squatters, came into conflict with Native American tribes, whose retaliatory raids occasionally crossed over into Georgia. During the First Seminole War an American army under Andrew Jackson allied with Lower Creek invaded East Florida. Because the Spanish government was unable to control the Native Americans, outlaws and escaped slaves that would launch attacks from East Florida into the U.S., . Jackson's forces captured St. Mark's on April 7, 1818 and Pensacola on May 24, 1818, and effectively controlled East Florida. James Monroe's Secretary of State John Quincy Adams defined the American position on this issue. Adams accused Spain of breaking Pinckney's Treaty by failing to control the Seminoles. Unwilling to Faced with the prospect of losing control, Spain formally ceded all of its Florida territory to the U.S. under the Adams-Onís Treaty in 1819 (ratified in 1821). In exchange, Spain received the United States' claims on parts of Texas and some other areas out of the Louisiana Purchase. In addition, both parties prohibited their respective citizens from pursuing claims that had arisen against the other country prior to the date of the treaty, with the U.S. adjusting and agreeing to pay its citizens' claims against Spain in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 collectively.

In 1822, the U.S. Congress organized the Florida Territory. In 1845, Florida was admitted as the 27th state of the United States.
