The reason that the colonists defeated the British navy was because of their pact with France and Lafayette. He gave Washington plans and even took some of his army to battle. George Washington was a strong leader with his right hand man Alexander Hamilton, and MANY others. France helped out ALOT. The colonies were outgunned AND outmanned until Lafayette arrived. The colonists spirit in not wanting to give up really boosted their drive even though at points it looked like they were about to lose. But at the Battle of Yorktown, the world practically turned upside down.

In the early days, Chicago was inhabited by Algonquian people. With the opening of the Illinois and Michigan Canal - that runs down to the Gulf of Mexico - and the first rail line to Chicago, the city started to become the national transportation hub with road, rail, water and, air connections. Also, Chicago sits in the center of the most fertile agricultural areas of the United States. Because of all those factors, Chicago grew quickly - in less than 20 years the population grew from 4 thousand inhabitants to 169 thousand.
