Angel Trejo-Delgado Koala Bears P.3 Why were the Americans able to beat the British? America: The Story of Us, Part 2 | Source # 1 | Source #2 | American Long Rifle Lightweight Rifle Very Accurate 250 yards of distance | Although it was far more expensive to make then the musket, its ability to be aimed and hit with accuracy to 300 yards made it a personal favorite of these men , also because the cost of firing it was less; from not needing as much lead per shot and as much powder as the larger muskets. Those men grew up with these weapons and knew how to use them because they shot them each day to provide food for their families as well as protection.

A Brief Synopsis of the American Long rifle | The Long Rifles of the American Revolution, made generally by German gunsmiths in Pennsylvania, were fine works of art, with barrels often over 4 feet long and covered in fine metal work and carving.

While its advantages as a firearm are clear to most; a rifle is accurate to over 200 yards, skilled shooters being able to hit man-sized targets at ranges of 500 yards.Smoothbore Musket Versus the Long Rifle in the Revolutionary War | Inoculations The Americans used puss from soldiers with the small pox to create an antibiotic by slathering puss on soldiers open wound. | Smallpox could have changed the results of the American Revolution. And, during the winter at Valley Forge, George Washington decided to begin inoculating soldiers. Had he not taken that step, we could have lost the war, and our freedom. Think about that inoculation against a deadly disease meant we could go on to win the war. How Smallpox Inoculations Helped Win the American Revolution | At the time of the Revolutionary War, there were several outbreaks of smallpox.

Tiny kittens and mother cats are probably one of the cutest things this world can offer. Have you ever seen a mommy cat and her kittens? Have you ever had to take care of them? A few years ago in 2009 I witnessed a very frightening experience. My mother and I were fostering mother cats and their kittens for the local animal rescue.

Even if their attempts at protection are sometimes unnecessary, at least they try. On one occasion while our family was setting off various fireworks on the Fourth of July, we set off a ground bloom. A ground bloom is basically a firework that spins around on the ground spewing fire…

My cat swerved around my legs, purring. I bent down to pet him then proceeded to gently pick him up in my arms. “I had another nightmare.” I said, frowning.

. In Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel, Maus , he portrays different races as certain animals to further exemplify their behaviors. Spiegelman uses cats and mice as representations of the Germans and Jews during the Holocaust in order to assist the reader in understanding their mentalities and personality traits. The Germans were portrayed as cats because they are powerful, malicious, and are prone to manipulate their prey or in this case, the Jews. For example, when the German guard was toying with Mandelbaum…
