From what I've read, yes. Wikipedia says the type of wallabies shown in the video, agile wallabies, face "no major threats, however in New Guinea it is shot for bushmeat and in Australia it is sometimes killed by farmers as a pest." Perhaps it's similar to deer in some parts of the US in that regard. They are constantly scavenging for food and get into trash bins and feed on garden plants like deer can. Some wallaby populations are shrinking and protected, but these agile wallabies are not in that category.

One of the descendants of this Confederates who came to Americana (Brazil) was the Brazilian singer Rita Lee, a member of Os Mutantes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Os_Mutantes), tropicalia-rock band of the '60s.

My family is from Honduras and always spoke of William Walker as a sort of Pirate. My Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather had him put to death, and was then assassinated 2 years later.

Calling Lincoln anti-slavery is being a bit generous. Before the war he was against the *expansion* of slavery (with the end of perhaps abolishing it eventually) and once the war broke out he was primarily concerned with saving the Union, even if it meant preserving slavery. Initially he didn't even allow his generals to free slaves in captured territories. He didn't start to free the slaves in the South (with the Emancipation Proclamation) until the war was going pretty badly for him and he needed some momentum.

He did make it clear that ethically he did support the suffrage of slaves, though.

I know southern expansion seems radical now, but given the views of the day, it seems to be the logical follow up to western expansion. Why stop when you hit the Pacific? Just hang a left!
