When local residents of an area refer to a hurricane, they are
<span>speaking of the violent, stormy weather system that brings torrential </span>
<span>rains and destructive, high velocity winds of over 74 miles per hour. </span>
Hurricanes<span> are also characterised by a heavy cloud cover, which </span>
<span>reduces sunshine and makes visibility and temperatures very low. In </span>
<span>other parts of the world, </span>tropical cyclones<span> are given other names. For </span>
<span>example, in Australia they are known as Willy Willies, in India there </span>
<span>are known as Tropical Cyclones and in the Pacific they are known as </span>
<span>Typhoons. </span>
<span>Hurricanes can only form in tropical regions due to their need for </span>
<span>certain atmospheric and weather conditions only found there. Most </span>
<span>hurricanes originate on the west coast of Africa, in the form of </span>
<span>thunderstorms. As these thunderstorms move westwards over the ocean, </span>
<span>they become low-pressure systems; first in the form of tropical </span>
<span>depressions, then tropical storm and then finally hurricanes. </span>

At age 17, Franklin ran away to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, seeking a new start in a new city. When he first arrived, he worked in several printer shops around town, but he was not satisfied by the immediate prospects. After a few months, while working in a printing house, Franklin was convinced by Pennsylvania Governor Sir William Keith to go to London, ostensibly to acquire the equipment necessary for establishing another newspaper in Philadelphia. Finding Keith's promises of backing a newspaper empty, Franklin worked as a typesetter in a printer's shop in what is now the Church of St Bartholomew-the-Great in the Smithfield area of London. Following this, he returned to Philadelphia in 1726 with the help of Thomas Denham, a merchant who employed Franklin as clerk, shopkeeper, and bookkeeper in his business.<span>[14]</span>
The Emancipation Proclamation changed the focus of the war.
Up until September 1862, the main focus of the war had been to preserve the Union. With the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation freedom for slaves now became a legitimate war aim.
It also allowed 'Colored' men to join the US Army.
