Jacob Broom Delaware 1 Yes One of the contributing factors to loss of the war by Mexico was the inferiority of their weapons the Mexican army was using surplus British muskets (e.g Brown Bess) from the Napoleonic Wars period While at the beginning of the war the majority of American soldiers were still equipped with the very similar Springfield 1816 flintlock muskets more reliable caplock models gained large inroads within the rank and file as the conflict progressed Some US troops carried radically modern weapons that gave them a significant advantage over their Mexican counterparts such as the Springfield 1841 rifle of the Mississippi Rifles and the Colt Paterson revolver of the Texas Rangers in the later stages of the war the US Mounted Rifles were issued Colt Walker revolvers of which the US Army had ordered 1,000 in 1846 Most significantly throughout the war the superiority of the US artillery often carried the day While technologically Mexican and American artillery operated on the same plane US army training as well as the quality and reliability of their logistics gave US guns and cannoneers a significant edge.[citation needed]. Commissioned and named by President Washington in 1794, Because of the power relationships at work slave women in the United States were at high risk for rape and sexual abuse. Many slaves fought back against sexual attacks and some died resisting Others carried psychological and physical scars from the attacks. Sexual abuse of slaves was partially rooted in a patriarchal Southern culture which treated black women as property or chattel. Southern culture strongly policed against sexual relations between white women and black men on the purported grounds of racial purity but by the late 18th century the many mixed-race slaves and slave children showed that white men had often taken advantage of slave women. Wealthy planter widowers notably such as John Wayles and his son-in-law Thomas Jefferson took slave women as concubines; each had six children with his partner: Elizabeth Hemings and her daughter Sally Hemings (the half-sister of Jefferson's late wife) respectively Both Mary Chesnut and Fanny Kemble wives of planters wrote about this issue in the antebellum South in the decades before the Civil War Sometimes planters used mixed-race slaves as house servants or favored artisans because they were their children or other relatives. As a result of centuries of slavery and such relationships DNA studies have shown that the vast majority of African Americans also have historic European ancestry generally through paternal lines. Powers of Congress 2.1 Governing bodies According to a 2010 study Washington-area commuters spent 70 hours a year in traffic delays which tied with Chicago for having the nation's worst road congestion. However 37% of Washington-area commuters take public transportation to work the second-highest rate in the country an additional 12% of D.C commuters walked to work 6% carpooled and 3% traveled by bicycle in 2010 a 2011 study by Walk Score found that Washington was the seventh-most walkable city in the country with 80% of residents living in neighborhoods that are not car dependent in 2013 the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metropolitan statistical area (MSA) had the eighth lowest percentage of workers who commuted by private automobile (75.7 percent) with 8 percent of area workers traveling via rail transit. Meridian Hill Park in Columbia Heights Northwest Washington D.C, Universities 12.1 Distribution of slaves, As a protection for slavery the delegates approved Section 2 of Article IV which prohibited states from freeing slaves who fled to them from another state and required the return of chattel property to owners. Two free states were proposed by Zachary Taylor who served as President from March 1849 to July 1850 as President he proposed that the entire area become two free states called California and New Mexico but much larger than the ones today None of the area would be left as an unorganized or organized territory which would avoid the question of slavery in the territories, When Jefferson ran into Hamilton at President Washington's residence in New York City in late June 1790 Jefferson offered to host a dinner to bring Madison and Hamilton together Subsequently a compromise was reached in which the northern delegates would agree to the southerly Potomac River site and in return the federal government would assume debts accumulated by the states during the American Revolutionary War Jefferson wrote a letter to James Monroe explaining the compromise, Nevertheless incumbent members of Congress running for reelection have strong advantages over challengers. They raise more money because donors fund incumbents over challengers perceiving the former as more likely to win and donations are vital for winning elections. One critic compared being elected to Congress to receiving life tenure at a university. Another advantage for representatives is the practice of gerrymandering. After each ten-year census states are allocated representatives based on population and officials in power can choose how to draw the congressional district boundaries to support candidates from their party As a result reelection rates of members of Congress hover around 90 percent, causing some critics to accuse them of being a privileged class. Academics such as Princeton's Stephen Macedo have proposed solutions to fix gerrymandering in the U.S Both senators and representatives enjoy free mailing privileges called franking privileges; while these are not intended for electioneering this rule is often skirted by borderline election-related mailings during campaigns.

Some migrated to Britain the great majority received land and subsidies for resettlement in British colonies in North America known as United Empire Loyalists especially Quebec (concentrating in the Eastern Townships) Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Britain created the colonies of Upper Canada (Ontario) and New Brunswick expressly for their benefit and the Crown awarded land to Loyalists as compensation for losses in the United States Britain wanted to develop the frontier of Upper Canada on a British colonial model But about 85% of the Loyalists stayed in the United States and became full loyal citizens; some of the exiles later returned to the U.S, Richard Bassett Delaware 1 Yes 2000 572,059 -5.7%.
