What three islands in the Virgin Islands are United States possessions?
St, Thomas, St. John, and St.Croix
Who did the United States buy the Virgin Islands from?
The US Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix and now also Water Island) were purchased from Denmark in 1917.
Who was the first American man canonized a saint?
If you mean first male United States citizen to be canonized, that would be Saint John Nepomucene Neumann who was canonized on June 19, 1977, by Pope Paul VI. However, he was originally from Germany. If by American you mean from anywhere in America - from the North Pole to the tip of South America, that changes the picture. St. Isaac Jogues and his companions were canonized long before that date, However, they were from France and were martyred in Canada. St. Martin de Porres was born and died in Lima, Peru, and he was canonized on May 6, 1962 by Pope John XXIII. That would make him the first native born male saint canonized in the Americas, I believe.
