Illustration of an angry-looking idol or statue surrounded by lush interwoven fruit and plants. It's an exoticized, historically inaccurate, and beautiful portrayal of essential pre-Colombian crops

Question: does the "minimalism" stereotypically attributed to Northern and Central Europe have any connections to Protestantism? I'm specifically thinking of the latter's aniconic/iconoclastic tendencies.

"_With a specific focus on France, Belgium, and Great Britain, this article argues that the revolutions of 1830 were not simply events coincidentally affected by their imperial context, but were themselves transformative of the imperial landscape. They gave a boost to European expansion, ushered in more direct forms of colonial dominion, and initiated an era of heightened trans-imperial co-operation._"

🇺🇸 **Lest We Forget / Davenport**

_"Lest we forget" is the refrain in Rudyard Kipling's poem, Recessional, published in 1897 at the height of the British empire. In the poem, Kipling warns against the perils of pride and the impermanence of power. The United States emerged from the Spanish American war in 1899 as a quasi-imperial power. The cartoonist may be cautioning the nation to remember its humble beginnings._

🔴 🇺🇸 **Border Control in Early America**

Christa Dierksheide

_“In the decades preceding the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, citizenship was conferred by states, not the federal government. Legislatures exercised enormous power over migration into and out of states in order to control—and engineer—the path to citizenship. Because these lawmakers wanted to restrict citizenship within their respective states to white property holders, they designed punitive immigration policies that either heavily restricted or prohibited Black settlement. Classifying people of color as “aliens” eliminated the possibility of Black citizenship.”_
