The British marched in and occupied Philadelphia...until the fortunes of war changed and the British left Philadelphia in June, 1778 without a fight.</span>

Howe's campaign was controversial because, although he successfully captured the American capital of Philadelphia, he proceeded slowly and did not aid the concurrent campaign of John Burgoyne further north, which ended in disaster at Saratoga for the British, and brought France into the war.

Traditional subsistence agriculture has turned into industrial mono culture farming. Among the negative effects are deforestation, soil degradation due to the use of toxic pesticides and the lack of variety in crops, decreased food security due to the use of agricultural lands for commercial crops with no alimentary value such as rubber and abusive private appropriation of land by industrial agricultural corporations. Among the positive effects in Thailand and China, because of their logistical, financial and educational support of poor farmers, the latter have been able to take advantage of the rubber boom and prosper, leaving poverty behind.
