In "The Jungle" when Sinclair refers to "regular alchemists at Durham's" means that they were creating meats from a variety of sources, later in the text you found this comment “They advertised "potted chicken,"--and it was like the boardinghouse soup of the comic papers, through which a chicken had walked with rubbers on. Perhaps they had a secret process for making chickens chemically--who knows?” here you can infer that the chicken announced actually does not look like chicken.

How does Paine support his idea that there is “no country on the globe” as “capable of raising a ﬂeet as America”?

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Thomas Paine supports his idea that there is "no country on the globe" as capable of raising a fleet as America" by saying; see explanation

Explanation:

Thomas Paine supports this idea by saying that timber, tar, iron and cardage are America's natural produce, therefore America don't need to import any of that. But that the Dutch who makes profits by hiring out their ships of war to the Spaniards and Portuguese, imports most of the materials they use.

Thomas Pain used his persuasive ability in his pamphlet 'Common Sense" to present ideas that will make Americans fight for political independence from the Great Britain. He succeeded in convincing many Americans including George Washington to seek redress.
