sveta [45]2 years ago
5 0

We can define gerrymandering as the manipulation of political and regional districts in order to reach an electoral or political advantage for a particular organization, group or political party.

We can define pork-barrel as the act of spending money on projects that are deemed necessary in order to gain a political or electoral advantage for a group or political party.

Both of these systems are in general deemed unfair since there are clear ulterior motives to reach political advantage against their adversaries.

The Seven Years’ War (called the French and Indian War in the colonies) lasted from 1756 to 1763, forming a chapter in the imperial struggle between Britain and France called the Second Hundred Years’ War.
In the early 1750s, France’s expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought it into conflict with the claims of the British colonies, especially Virginia. In 1754, the French built Fort Duquesne where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers joined to form the Ohio River (in today’s Pittsburgh), making it a strategically important stronghold that the British repeatedly attacked.
