Answer:

Greenbacks were paper currency printed during the Civil War.

Explanation:

Greenbacks were the paper money printed by the United States during the Civil War. The Union used this currency to keep the economy stable and to pay for the war.

President Abraham Lincoln ordered to issue $400 million Greenbacks to raise money for the Civil War on March 10th, 1862. Since then, Greenbacks were issued intermittently during the war, but this was criticized by bankers, as they said that Greenbacks would not be supported by precious metals, therefore causing great amounts of inflation.

Well, depends on what battle this question is talking of. 
I'm going to assume you're talking about the famed "Battle of Saratoga" and specifically the "Battle of Bemis Heights".
That specific battle cost that dude 600 soldiers. 
If you're talking about "Freeman's Farm" then that cost him around 600 guys as well.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

U.S. policy toward the region of the Persian Gulf has changed more and more often over the years more than any other foreign policy I can think of. Current U.S. policy can be traced back more than half a century. This said, the most useful place to begin to understand how we arrived where we are today is to return to the late 1960s, when Great Britain decided it could no longer sustain its commitments east of Suez.
