Question: Were the tribe of dan giants?

No, the phillistines appear to have been the physically big ones back then. The tribe of Dan was said to be among "the largest" in terms of population not size.

Question: How many years did it take for one to become a lawyer in the 1800s?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 06:14 AM PDT

All one had to do was pass the relevant Bar exam,and for anybody fully literate who was reasonably intelligent and reasonably articulate,a couple of weeks cramming on existing laws would see them through.

As for soldiers,the 1800s saw armies grow in size due to the ongoing population increase of the 18th century that resulted from the agricultural revolution.Almost anyone could enlist and be trained relatively quickly to be considered able enough to available for combat - in the 18th century,when armies were much smaller,recruits took 3 years training to be considered ready for the battlefield.

Royal families did not have personal bodyguards.There guard regiments, detachments of which would be on hand when a royal family was out and about on public duties,and detachments of which guarded royal residences.

Question: What's the best thing about being American?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:26 AM PDT

The best: living in the most powerful, influential and technologically advanced country on Earth, which retains its potential to become even greater. The worst: Stupid, obsolete government, essentially unchanged since the 18th century and chronically unable to solve the pressing problems of today or meet the challenges of the future.

Question: How do they portray the American Revolution in Britain?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:08 AM PDT

It is taught as what was the truth in Britain - it was Parlaiment's policies,not those of George III,that riled a small section of the colonist elite,who then fomented a revolution.Further,these policies were enacted by a democratically elected parliament that had to get its legislation approved both by the Commons and the Lords,not some tyrannical monarch (who only had limited political power in the first place).The taxes were NOT heavy - for example the Sugar Act and Tea Act both reduced taxes (on molasses and tea respectively),and it was colonists making big profits out of smuggling these 2 commodities that were front and centre in leading resistance to them.Finally,these taxes were introduced in all British colonies in the Americas,and there was no rebellion in Canada or the Caribbean against them - so how bad and oppressive can they really have been?

Having said all that,the war could easily have been avoided,and better prosecuted when it did come,by a more able and less incompetent administration.As the war was essentially unwinnable in military terms from the very start,the situation requiring a political solution,North's government would have been better advised not to become embroiled in it in the first place.There was considerable opposition both inside and outside of Parliament to the government policy in North America,and its prosecution of the war effort.

Britain did not have to fight just its rebellious American colonists - France,Spain, and the Dutch Republic all joined the war against Britain,and the fact that the British kept the war going for as long as they did,and only ended up losing fractious and unprofitable American colonies,was a bonus for Britain really.

That is what is taught about the Revolutionary War in Britain - a version far,far closer to the truth than what Americans learn.
