Generally, according to many people, BC=Before Christ's time on earth. (Christ as in the person that Christian people believe in)
AD=Anno Domini or after his life on earth. Some people would say we are living in AD right now.

BC stands for "Before Christ." It is referring to a time period before Christ was born, according to the Christian churches. However, people with more secular beliefs will refer to this time as "Before Common Era," or "BCE."

Years during this time can be a bit confusing, since it's the opposite of how we read years in AD. For example, if we say 2012 AD, we know that they are referring to 2012 years after the birth of Christ. Therefore, the date 2000 AD would be <em>before</em> 2012.
However, when referring to 2012 BC, you are talking 2012 years before the birth of Christ. Therefore 2000 BC would be <em>after </em>2012 BC. Similarly, if you were talking about 1000 BC, it would be <em>before</em> 2012 BC.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

They were forced to move out from their ancestral land.

Explanation:

The American-Indian war occurred because the government of the settlers wanted to take ownership over the resources that resided Within the Native's ancestral land.

Since the land was tied to their ancestral history and cultural origin, the Native refuse to give it. So, both parties engaged in the battle.

We started using electricity in everyday life as technology is omnipresent and also represents an important aspect of our life. We started driving cars as the technology has been developed in the 19th century. We've started 'living' online as we have embraced the existance of the internet.

Virty [35]
I assume you're talking about the Revolutionary era. The colonists wanted to go to war for their independence. They didn't have representation in the government, yet they were still taxed.
