22. Background
The Spanish conquest of what is today the United States began in Florida. The explorer Juan Ponce de León named the land “Florida” having arrived on Easter Sunday---“Pascua Florida” in Spanish---in He sailed north along the Atlantic coast to Virginia, Massachusetts, and Maine and also along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to Port Charlotte. Ponce de León died in 1521 from wounds he received in battle with the native population in Gulf Coast area of Florida.

23. Background
After all, our society doesn't look much like the societies that existed here in the Western Hemisphere during the previous few thousand years. And while the American people today are descendants of peoples from every continent, American culture does look a lot like European culture, which is funny because Europe is far away.

24. How the Spain’s culture was imprinted in USA
Spanish place names and institutions are still found all over United States. But even more important than the physical remains of Spanish society in the United States is the mere fact that the Spanish came here, paved the way for later European nations to come here, and provided the models on which those other societies thrived. There would be no United States without Spain, and it is with Spain that the history of the United States as we know it began.

25. How the Spain’s culture was imprinted in USA
There are numerous signs of the presence of Spain on the North American continent. Place names cover the land from Florida to California. Cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Fe, El Paso, San Antonio, Pensacola, and St. Augustine are built on the foundations of presidios, missions and pueblos of the original Spanish settlers. Spain's contributions have been especially large in the area of farming and ranching, including the livestock the Spanish brought to the New World; horses, burros, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs; and plants such as alfalfa and a variety of fruits, including grapes. The cattle industry, including the development of the vaquero, had its inception with the Spanish. Christian religion as well was brought by the Spanish. The Spanish contribution is present in emblematic cities such as New York City or New Orleans, which preserve an undeniable Spanish presence in their twenty-first century structure, culture and heritage.
