https://padlet.com/adlin1/88r8b2r1lm27 Location: Golden Gate Bridge About: Fort Point is a masonry seacoast fortification located at the southern side of the Golden State at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. This fort was completed just before the American Civil War by the United States Army, to defend San Francisco Bay against hostile warships. Information: In 1769 Spain occupied the San Francisco area and by 1776 had established the area's first European settlement, with a mission and a presidio. To protect against encroachment by the British and Russians, Spain fortified the high white cliff at the narrowest part of the bay's entrance, where Fort Point now stands. The Castillo de San Joaquin, built in 1794, was an adobe structure housing nine to thirteen cannons.[3] Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821, gaining control of the region and the fort, but in 1835 the Mexican army moved to Sonoma leaving the castillo's adobe walls to crumble in the wind and rain. On July 1, 1846, after the Mexican-American War broke out between Mexico and the United States, U.S. forces, including Captain John Charles Fremont, Kit Carson and a band of 10 followers, captured and occupied the empty castillo and spiked (disabled) the cannons. en-us 2018-03-23 22:03:03 UTC 2025-11-10 03:41:30 UTC hello@padlet.com adlin1 https://padlet.com/adlin1/88r8b2r1lm27/wish/247883121 This lady is showing us all the materials they use a long time ago. Long ago the children was playing those games outside and not allow to play inside.]]> 2018-04-02 17:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/adlin1/88r8b2r1lm27/wish/247883121 adlin1 https://padlet.com/adlin1/88r8b2r1lm27/wish/247884833 This is our teacher Ms. M wearing a dress at Fort Point.
