If I'm not mistaken, from reading all of those, SE GA was already under the control and influence of the British(13 colonies) and there were a few skirmishes in which the British won. Either way, my point still stand ragarding ATL and SA. The Spaniards pretty much controlled everything from the Florida Panhandle throughout the Southern portions of modern day AL, LA, on West. Everywhere else was Angloland, or Angleterre(England in French.)
That why i'm posting out the difference between Atlanta and Georgia, Atlanta is a part of Georgia, Georgia is a much broad area everything that happen in Georgia didn't all happen in Atlanta.
No, around the same time as the British Jamestown in 1607, the Spanish was the first and had colonial missions on the coast of Georgia, then the Spanish was the first inland also they came exploring during the Mississippian culture era. Georgia was consider Spanish Florida to the Spanish. The Mocama and Guale Provinces were under the Spanish mission system. Later with the British's Carolina province in place cause conflicts between the British and the Spanish.
One of the reason why Georgia came about is to set up a buffer state for the Carolina province, The Spanish lose influence in the region during the Yamasee War. By 1704 the British pretty much control the area. In 1742 the Spanish tried invading but failed.
True that. But its also helpful to know that the areas of the Bay Area that people most go to typically do have more Asian people than Hispanics, while the opposite is true for the LA area (not all of the time of course, but is true for a huge chunk of the time)
What's weird is that out of those 6, SF Bay has the 2nd most diverse Latino population in terms of percentage (not by a LOT, it's still there), and out of the top 10 areas with the most Hispanics, the Bay Area has the 3rd most diverse Latin population (though the drop between 2 and 3 is HUGE!)
Top 10 2010 CSA/MSA Hispanic population (largest group share of Latino population)
1. Los Angeles: 8,028,831 (80.6% Mexican)
2. New York: 4,790,542 (28.7% Puerto Rican)
3. Miami: 2,312,929 (42.5% Cuban)
4. Houston: 2,124,875 (75.4% Mexcan)
5. Chicago: 1,973,340 (79.3% Mexican)
6. Bay Area: 1,797,078 (74.4% Mexican)
7. DFW: 1,795,412 (83.3% Mexican)
8. Phoenix: 1,235,718 (86.4% Mexican)
9. San Antonio: 1,158,148 (83.9% Mexican)
10. San Diego: 991,348 (87.7% Mexican)
New York and Miami are in a class by themselves in terms of Hispanic diversity. The rest are overwhemlingly Mexican. I can't believe how many Mexicans live in Los Angeles.

Well, DC is up there as well, but just shy of 1 million Hispanics (at 912k, with 27.4% being Salvadorian as the largest group), and Boston (with 33% being Puerto Rican as the largest group, but having only 617k Hispanics)
And remember, of course Mexicans are overrepresented nearly everywhere else....it's the country of 110 million people with a 2000 mile land border to the south of us (they are 2/3 of the Latino population in the US as well). But I think people too often fall into the trap thinking that Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, etc. are some huge homogeneous group simply because their country's borders are drawn the way they are. But such is the way the real world works....

SA was a Spanish mission and a Frontier town for most of it's history, ATL was already a Southern town for a good number of years when SA was having it's little identity crisis. Everything CHIATLDAL posted was more about Southeast GA instead of ATL. And even then, by 1836(The year the Tex Revolution ended), Southeast GA had already been established, as did the rest of the state of GA.
In November 1864, two months after capturing the city of Atlanta, General William Tecumseh Sherman and his army of 62,000 men began the march south to Savannah. They lived off the land and, by Sherman's own estimate, caused more than $100 million in property damage in Georgia alone.[9] Sherman called this harsh tactic of material war "hard war" (in modern times this is known as total war).[10] Sherman and his troops captured Savannah on December 22, 1864. Sherman then telegraphed his commander-in-chief, President Abraham Lincoln, offering him the city as a Christmas present.
"During the Civil War San Antonio was not deeply involved in the secessionist cause, due in part to the fact that many of the city's residents, notably those of German or Mexican ancestry, supported the Union. After the war San Antonio prospered as a center of the cattle culture. There is an argument to be made that it was in San Antonio that the American cowboy originated, because it was there that Spanish and Mexican techniques of herding cattle on horseback were transferred to Anglo-American cattle ranchers. It is undoubted that major cattle trails, including the Chisholm Trail, began in San Antonio. It was for this reason that promoter "Bet a Million" Gates chose San Antonio to demonstrate the value of barbed wire. In 1876 he fenced off Alamo Plaza with the new invention then had cowboys drive a herd of cattle into the wire. When the wire held the cattle many of the ranchers in attendance placed orders for the new product. San Antonio was thus crucial both to the beginning and ending of the open range period in American ranching culture."

It went too far. I am sorry for contributing in that.
