Sweden established colonies in the Americas in the mid-17th century, including the colony of New Sweden on the Delaware River in what is now Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland, as well as two possessions in the Caribbean during the 18th and 19th centuries. The colony of New Sweden was founded in 1638 by the first expedition of Swedish South Company, a consortium of Swedish and German business interests formed in 1637; the colony was located along the Delaware River with settlements in modern Delaware and New Jersey along locations where Swedish and Dutch traders had been visiting for decades. At the time Finland was part of the Kingdom of Sweden, some of the settlers of Sweden's colonies came from present-day Finland or were Finnish-speaking; the Swedes and Finns brought their log house design to America, where it became the typical log cabin of pioneers. The Swedes, leveraging trading relations with the powerful inland Susquehannock peoples, allied themselves to the Susquehannock and supported the natives in their declared war with the English colony of Lord Baltimore, Province of Maryland.

While a Baltic naval power, the international power of the Swedish Kingdom was rooted in land based military power, when another general war engulfed northern Europe, the Swedish Navy was incapable of protecting the colony. Subsequently, the young colony was assimilated by the Dutch, who perceived the presence of Swedish colonists in North America as a threat to their interests in the New Netherland colony; the Swedish colony of Saint Barthélemy was operated as a porto franco. The capital city of Gustavia retains its Swedish name. Guadeloupe came into Swedish possession as a consequence of the Napoleonic Wars, it gave rise to the Guadeloupe Fund. Swedish emigrants continued to go to the Americas to settle within other colonies; the mid-19th and early 20th centuries saw a large Swedish emigration to the United States. 1.3 million Swedes settled in the United States during that period, there are about four million Swedish Americans, as of 2008. Dom Pedro II, the second Emperor of Brazil, encouraged immigration, resulting in a sizeable number of Swedes entering Brazil, settling in the cities of Joinville and Ijuí.

In the late 19th century, Misiones Province in Argentina was a major centre for Swedish immigration, laid the foundations of a population of Swedish-Argentines.

Lawrence J. Dolan is a retired attorney and the principal owner of Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians. Dolan attended St. Ignatius High School and got his law degree from University of Notre Dame in 1956, he received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Cleveland State University. Upon leaving Notre Dame, Dolan served in the United States Marine Corps for two years, where he attained the rank of first lieutenant. Upon leaving the Marine Corps in 1958, Dolan worked as assistant prosecutor in Geauga County, Ohio before going into private practice, he became president and managing partner of Thrasher, Dinsmore, & Dolan in Chardon, Ohio. In 2000, Dolan bought the Cleveland Indians of the MLB for $323 million from Richard Jacobs, along with his late brother David Jacobs, had paid $35 million for the club in 1986. Jacobs had taken the Indians public in 1997; as part of the deal, Dolan bought all of the stock at just over $12 a share, making the franchise held once again. During his time as owner, the Indians have experienced periods of competitiveness, including playoff runs in 2007, 2013, making it to the World Series in 2016, as well as periods without success, including several seasons with over 90 losses.

While the Indians' player salaries were among the highest in Major League Baseball during Jacobs' last years as owner, at times they have been among the lowest under Dolan. This has led some fans to regard Dolan as miserly. After the team reached the 2016 World Series, the Indians acquired free agents Edwin Encarnación and Boone Logan. However, both of these players were with other teams by 2019 in an attempt to reduce payroll, thus adding to both sides of the “miserly” argument between fans. In 2006, he started SportsTime Ohio to air Indians games. Dolan has six children. Dolan has said his children will assume ownership of the Cleveland Indians in his stead. In 2012, STO was sold to Fox Entertainment Group, his nephew James L. Dolan owns the New York Knicks of the NBA and the New York Rangers of the NHL, he has three brothers: Charles. 2016 American League Champion Five-time American League Central Division Champion - 2001, 2007, 2016, 2017, 2018 Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame inductee

Upstate Correctional Facility is a maximum security state prison for men in Franklin County, New York, US. The prison, in the Town of Malone, was the first New York State prison built as a supermax. Upstate C. F. is located near Franklin Correctional Facility and Bare Hill Correctional Facility, both medium security prisons. Upstate C. F. was established in 1998 to house special prisoners with a history of assaultive behavior. Programs available to the prisoners are based on the acceptance of the established rules and other behavior indicating a degree of social conformity. 350 corrections officers, aided by more than 1000 remote cameras, supervise about 1300 prisoners. Upstate is a cadre facility. Cadre is the name of the program; the Cadre program holds 300 inmates. The other 1000 inmates are in special housing unit; the SHU is more known as the box. Upstate, the 70th state prison to open in New York State, had a cost of $180 million. Prisoners were scheduled to arrive in July 1988, it was scheduled to open to have 1,500 prisoners, with two prisoners per cell.

Locals in Malone, New York had a positive reception to the prison as it had the possibility of bringing jobs to the local economy. The prison was scheduled to house a number of inmates making up about 33% of the town's population. Jennifer Gonnerman of The Village Voice wrote that double celling prisoners together in solitary confinement had the potential to lead to prisoners killing one another. Prisoners who double cell lived in close proximity to one another for all of the time. On May 12, 2000, 35-year old prisoner Donnell Brunson killed 42-year old Jose Quintana, a Panamanian man, his cellmate; the prison, two stories tall, was designed with having two prisoners in one cell. The prison cells were pre-fabricated and brought to the prison construction site for assembly into the building; the prison was to have 800 security cameras. The prison cells have plexiglas windows; the cells are larger than others in the New York state prison system.
