Do You Believe in Subliminals?
History of Subliminal Messaging: The roots of subliminal messaging can be traced back to the late 19th century when psychologists and researchers began studying the subconscious mind. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s and 1960s that subliminal messaging gained widespread attention. One of the most famous instances occurred in 1957 when marketing researcher James Vicary claimed to have increased sales of Coca-Cola and popcorn in a movie theater by flashing subliminal messages on the screen. Despite later admitting that his study was a hoax, the idea of subliminal messaging had already taken root in popular culture.

American Invasion of Quebec
The American invasion of Quebec (September 1775-June 1776) was a military campaign undertaken during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Hoping to induce the Province of Quebec to join the rebellion, the Second Continental Congress dispatched troops under generals Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold to occupy British-controlled Canada. The invasion climaxed with an American defeat at the Battle of Quebec.The invasion marked the first offensive campaign conducted by the American Continental Army, which occurred despite the Continental Congress' insistence that it was fighting a purely defensive war. It was a two-pronged invasion; a 1,200-man colonial force under General Montgomery left Fort Ticonderoga in September 1775, going on to capture Fort Saint-Jean and occupy Montreal. A second 1,100-man expedition, led by General Arnold, departed from Cambridge, Massachusetts, and arrived at the city of Quebec by way of Maine. Here, Arnold's force linked up with Montgomery's, and the Americans launched an assault on Quebec City on 31 December 1775. The battle went disastrously for the Americans; Montgomery was killed, Arnold was wounded, and the American attack was repulsed.

Buffalo and the Plains Indians
The buffalo were essential to the Plains Indians, and other Native American nations, as they were not only a vital food source but were regarded as a sacred gift the Creator had provided especially for the people. Buffalo (bison) supplied Native Americans with the resources that sustained them physically, culturally, and spiritually.Among Plains Indian nations including the Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Blackfoot, Pawnee, Kiowa, Mandan, and Comanche – as well as over 20 others – the American bison (commonly referred to as buffalo) was essential to every aspect of their daily lives, and today it is still honored by these nations in the same way. Commenting on the importance of the buffalo to Native Americans, historian Richard B. Williams notes:Between c. 1840-1890, with the approval and encouragement of the US government, millions of buffalo were slaughtered primarily to deprive the Plains Indians of their major resource and allow for the westward expansion of Euro-American settlements. The large herds of buffalo, and the nomadic Plains Indians, impeded initiatives such as the transcontinental railroad and so were regarded as obstacles to be eliminated. White buffalo hunters, US military, merchants, and white settlers all engaged in the systematic slaughter of the buffalo to deprive the Plains Indian nations of their livelihood and drive them, along with the buffalo, to extinction.
