The colonists were justified in waging war and breaking away from Britain. Britain treated the colonists unfairly‚ and used their limitless power to harm the colonists.

It seems the one fact that stands out in American minds is that the Allied Powers were fighting against people who were perceived as "evil”‚ such as Adolf Hitler and Emperor Hirohito.

Can men and women ever be “just friends”? After reading an article with scientific research about this topic I have come to a conclusion. Daily experience suggests that non-romantic friendships between males and females are not only possible‚ but common.
