Compared to the British, the American army was small, but their military tactics and skills were excellent ... their rifles. Almost defenseless to this American technique, the British lost many soldiers. The British hired German mercenaries, "Hessians," which proved to be an unreliable source of troops. Overall, the British did not win the war because the Americans knew how to fight effectively with their limited troops. With some foreign aid from France, the Americans found that they held an advantage in supplies. At one point in time, the Americans ... French provided a strong navy which protected the American coastline. France fought against the British because they wanted revenge, and they also wanted to reclaim some territory that they had lost in the Seven Years War.

- 2786: Our Town
- Human beings are amazing creatures. Our history has shown spectacular and shameful events from day one. Throughout the course of history we have seen both war and peace. More war than peace, but the point still remains. That we, as a human race, have accomplished many wonderful intellectual break-throughs but we have also done very stupid deeds.

- 2787: Brave New World

Each embryo is irradiated for 8 minutes with X-rays until rather ...

This simple fact would lead to a multitude of unfortunates including; soil exhaustion, unemployment, war and disruption. By 1951, Carey had established his theory of protection@.
