  From 1845 to 1865 the Gulf of Mexico was at the center of American expansion and southern imperialism. A Continuous State of War tells the story of several communities as well as countries such as Mexico and Cuba, to uncover the way that wars within the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico facilitated American and southern attempts to conquer Latin American nations. In the push for westward expansion that preceded the Civil War, white southerners along with other Americans engaged in violent conquest in Latin America and the American West. Through the wars that are chronicled here, white southern concepts of race became more rigidly fixed. 
   
   
   
  Maria Angela Diaz covers several conflicts leading up to the Civil War with Mexicans, Cubans, and Native Americans. She places the Civil War within this framework and follows the trajectory of relations with Latin America through the end of the Civil War and ex-Confederates' attempts to emigrate abroad. Gulf Coast communities facilitated both the physical efforts to seize territory and the construction of the highly racialized imperialist ideas that reimagined Latin America as a region that could secure the South's future. Yet the pursuit of that territory created a fluctuating and uncertain situation that shaped the choices of the diverse peoples who lived along the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico in ways they did not expect.

  Roman Architecture - Building...

  Roman architecture emerged as a distinctive style that blended elements from earlier civilizations, primarily Greek and Etruscan influences. As Rome expanded from a small settlement into a powerful empire, its architectural identity evolved, incorporating new techniques and materials that allowed for grander and more functional structures. The early foundations of Roman architecture set the stage for innovations that would shape the empire’s urban landscape for centuries. 
  One of the most significant influences on Roman architecture came from the Etruscans, a civilization that dominated central Italy before Rome’s rise. The Etruscans were skilled builders who introduced techniques such as the use of the arch and vault, both of which would later become hallmarks of Roman engineering. Etruscan temples, with their high podiums and deep porches, also served as models for early Roman religious structures. Another major influence was Greek architecture, which Romans admired and adapted to suit their needs. The Greeks provided inspiration in the use of columns, decorative friezes, and symmetrical design, elements that were later integrated into Roman temples, public buildings, and monuments. 
  Roman architectural development was also shaped by advancements in building materials and construction techniques. The early Romans initially built using wood and mudbrick, but as they refined their skills, they transitioned to more durable materials like stone and concrete. The introduction of concrete was a groundbreaking innovation, allowing for stronger and more flexible structures. Unlike the Greeks, who relied heavily on marble, the Romans preferred concrete for its affordability and adaptability, enabling them to construct larger and more complex buildings, such as amphitheaters, aqueducts, and domes.
