I was 15 living with my parents and 3 sisters and 2 brothers in Minnesota 1970. It was summertime.
I was just really quite bored , looking back.
So one night, I told my dad I was leaving. He said go, and that he'd take care of my mother.
I grabbed my backpack and loaded up with:
some underwear, an extra shirt, tampons, extra socks, some canned goods, a knife, my pepper spray, a fork, cigarettes and some lighters and matches and $200.

It was around 9pm I snuck out the front door and went immediately to the gas station and looted the place.
I hopped around town, gas station to gas station, store to store. Anything I could get my hands on I put in my backpack, cigarettes, beer, food.
I collected some friends, 1 with a car, some with money and we all got stocked up. We didn't know were we were going but we knew we were gonna get there.

We drove all night and all day the next day and before we knew it we'd hit Bloomington Indiana where we stopped to rest up ad restock. We hit up liquor stores, pharmacies, anything.

We met people along the way, some joined us on our journey. We had guitars, banjos, a fiddle,, singers, we had everything. It was a big car.
The car broke down after a few days so we started hopping freight trains and setting up camp fires. There were some scary moments. Some were too nervous to hop on the train and we lost them. But mostly we stuck together.

We were dirty vagabonds. Folk anti-heroes! We had everything. Good music, good friends, plenty of food, wine, and cigarettes every night. I met Donny this 18 year old who joined us and we became the best of friends. He'd had a rough life full of sexual abuse and hard drugs.
I met Mouse, a small girl age 17 I believe who was like my sister. I found out she died a year later.

When I got home my family cried and hugged and cried and yelled and cried some more. But I told them of the adventure and promised I'd never leave them again and apologized like crazy for the rest of my life.
I found Donny after high school and we got drunk together and since then we've been madly in love and best friends and we now have grandchildren together :)

Probably not a lot different.

Such a long time has passed since that battle, and so many other events, of much larger scale, have occurred since then - if any one of those had had a different lead-up or different outcome there might have been or, more likely, would have been far greater differences in the world today.

Indeed there would have been no race called the "Marathon" - you can be fairly certain of that. But even that changed comparatively recently, in 1924 if I remember rightly - its distance was increased from 22 miles to 26 miles to make the end point convenient for a particular Olympic Games. It has remained at 26 miles ever since.

The Sugar Act marked the first time Parliament tried to directly tax the colonists. It was generally considered fair on both sides of the ocean for Parliament to regulate trade within the British Empire. Duties on imported goods were paid by shippers and were not a direct tax on consumption. The Sugar Act, however, was viewed as a direct tax on the consumption of many popular items including sugar, wine, textiles, tropical foods, silk and numerous other items, and had, as its stated purpose, the purpose of raising revenue for the Crown.

This angered the colonists because it seemed that Parliament wanted to use them for its own good. It may seem reasonable to expect that the colonists would be partly responsible for the expenses of their own defense. The colonists were not opposed to this. However, Parliament placed this tax directly on them, which violated the British political principle that taxes could only be levied if they were agreed upon by the common people through their elected representatives. The colonists had no elected representatives in Parliament and had been taxed only by their own colonial legislatures for over a hundred years. Thus the root of the conflict was whether or not Parliament had the right to tax the colonists.

In addition to the right of taxation question, colonists were angered and alarmed because the newly enforced taxes caused great economic hardship by raising the prices of many common goods, reducing foreign markets to which they could export their goods and creating burdensome trade regulations. Colonists were used to paying only a penny and a half per gallon bribe to customs agents to allow them to smuggle in untaxed molasses.

The passage of the Sugar Act marked the first organizing of colonists and public protests against the British Parliament. There were sporadic outbursts of violence against the authorities, especially in New York and Rhode Island. Certain leaders began to arise who were outspoken in their criticism of parliament, especially Samuel Adams and James Otis of Boston. They led the way in organizing a boycott of British luxury items by many merchants in Boston. 50 merchants joined the boycott. A movement also began, especially in New York and Boston, to encourage manufacturing within the colonies themselves. Colonists felt that if they made their own goods, especially goods made from cloth such as linens, clothing, hats, etc., they would not be so dependent on British made goods.

The Boston Town Meeting, the ruling council of the city, discussed the Sugar Act and the impending Stamp Act and issued a letter to its representatives in the Massachusetts Colonial Legislature, instructing them to affirm and defend their rights as British citizens, which, they believed, were being infringed upon by Parliament. Samuel Adams was appointed by the town meeting to draft the letter to the legislature. This letter helped cement him as a leader in the protests against Great Britain. The letter marks the first time that a political body in the colonies declared that Parliament could not constitutionally tax the colonists. You can read the letter here, Instructions to Boston's Representatives, May 28, 1764.

　 The misappropriation of education and skills applied for the applicable to the workforce.

　 That is to say that everyone can do something however minuscule to grandeur, it is of the status stigma, that refrains persons from achieving balance and income to sustain workable ethics for life.

　 So where there is poverty, implies the working integration of lifestyle and habitat are deliberately held down for the ill reasoning of plagiarized poverty it self upon the classes.

　 Give every one at best, some work of meaning, and a wage to sustain food clothing and shelter, and that poverty level vanishes.

　 This value does differ from global platitude of what is deemed poverty, and that in removing borders for people to roam to where the work is or where life is manageable is key to survival, and that after to understanding of non ethics in values and morals twice removed from traits and behaviors.
　 that is if the one of a group can plant foods, and build shelters annually without import or movement is one place to stabilize, where others may require nomadic roaming status to maintain livelihood of nature.

　 But that is not America of the States, where a factory is grounded, and people are confined or restrained to landscape conditions that can be corrupted by the governing system(s ), which in turn create the poverty where ignored or neglected.

Washington wasn't perfect, but he was the man people listened to and respected. He wasn't partisan and did not intend to act dictatorially, although sometimes he had to say, "We'll do it this way. It has the best chance of working." He was determined the Republic would not die, because he had led men who died for the Republic. When the Constitution was in place, his term was over, and the United States started to see itself as one nation, he resigned.

Society, Culture & Lifestyle

The Celts actively traded with the Mediterranean world, exchanging notably their iron tools and weapons for wine and pottery. They also imported amber from the Baltic to resell to the Romans and Greeks.
The Celts preempted the Romans in their construction of a road network across the European continent.
The Celtic world was very decentralised compared to the Roman one, but at least a dozen Celtic towns possessed high stone walls rivalling those of Rome at the time. The longest were 5km long.
Recent studies have shown that the Celts were more advanced than the Romans in some scientific and economic aspects. Pre-Roman Celtic calendars were much more accurate than the Roman one. In fact, they were possibly more accurate than the Gregorian calendar in use nowadays.
Each Galatian tribe was organised in four septs (clans), each ruled by a tetrach (chief), assisted by a judge, a general and two deputy generals. Each sept sent 25 senators to a central shrine called Drunemeton.
The Celts were immensely rich. We now know that Julius Caesar's main reason to conquer Gaul was to lay hands on Celtic gold. Over 400 Celtic gold mines were found in France alone. The Romans had little gold on their home territory, so the conquest of Gaul was a tremendous boost to their power.
The Celtic nobility were also known to be clean shaven with well trimmed hair following the fashion of the time. Tweezers were also found on archeological sites.
Ancient Celtic society gave much more freedom and power to women than the Greeks and Romans did. Greco-Roman housewives were prohibited to do business and mostly sequestrated in their home under the supervision of male family members. Celtic women could sometimes become powerful tribe leaders, and were also known to go to war.
