1. George Washington went through his writings and fixed any mistakes, and overall edited his style, after the war. 2. The Revolutionary War didn't have as many overall deaths as other wars, such as the civil war. This was thought to be because the elites in Boston wanted the war to be censored, in order to quell the labor movement of the time. 3.There was no recorded imagery of any fights or battles in the war. 4.

Because of this Governor Cosby decided to go after Peter Zenger, on the assumption that without a printer, the Journal would not be able to be published. This led to Zenger's arrest. 2.)   What was the controversy over his charges? Zenger's arrest was made controversial when his lawyer, Andrew Hamilton made clear to the jury that his charge, publishing of seditious libel, required for the information published by his newspaper to be false. Since Zenger had only published true information, the Jury acquitted (good wordel) him of his charges. 3.)   What influence did his case have on American governmental traditions? Though his case did not have any imm...

1.)   What concepts are included in the Mayflower Compact? The Mayflower Compact is a document which seems to be freshly created by colonists who have just migrated from Europe. In the document, many concepts which seem to be direct from Europe are included, such as the desire to glorify God through the colony's actions in the pursuit of advancing the Christian faith, bringing honor to the mother countries from which the colonists are from, and forming a political group to bring control to the colonies in supplement to King James' rule.                                  2.)   How does the Mayflower Compact reflect and attachment to both the "Old" and "New" worlds?
