How did the experience of African Americans under French and Spanish rule in North America compare to that in the British colonies?
People of African descent, brought to Florida and Louisiana during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, learned to speak Spanish or French rather than English, and they became Roman Catholics rather than Protestants. In addition, the routes to freedom were more plentiful in the Spanish and French colonies than they were in Britain's plantation colonies.

Why did the writers of the Constitution use general terms instead of being extremely specific about all details of government?
Because our founding fathers had no idea how the future would be, they decided to mage the rights and freedoms more general, rather than to specify items. You must also take in consideration the time they wrote it and the political views and parties that were involved during that time.
Is patriotism an old fashioned idea?
No, patriotism and nationalism are rather new ideas historically speaking. Until the 1700s, the vast majority of people thought of themselves as devoted to groups rather than a nation. For example, more people would think of themselves as Protestant rather than English. It is really evident when you look through at wars, for example, the Crusades weren't a political dispute between nations but rather a group dispute between 3 groups (Christians, Jews and Muslims), similarly, a lot of "national" wars like the wars between England and France had their underlying tensions in that England was Protestant and France was Catholic. In the underdeveloped world, there is the same identity due to wars between ethnic or religious groups rather than nation against nation as we've come accustom to in wars like the two world wars.
What color was Alexander Hamilton's hair?
His hair color was auburn with blue eyes and pale skin. He was rather short 5'7. He was an illegitimate child ( this was very important in the 1700's. Inheritance was through the father to the son) so he started life homeless and poor.
