Answer:
I would think so. Kinda like an urban legend.
Answer:
From 1764 to 1776 there were some milestones along the road to the American Revolution such as:
• 1754 – 1763 French Vs. Indian War (Seven Year War between France and Great Britain)
• 1764 Sugar Act taxes foreign molasses
• 1765 Stamp Act taxes printing material
• 1765 Quartering Act requires colonists to house and feed British soldiers
• 1767 Townhend Acts: Taxes imported goods and tea
• 1770 Boston Massacre
• 1770 Townshend Act repealed, except for tea tax
• 1773 Boston Tea Party
• 1775 American Colonist Revolts
• 1774 Coercive Acts passed
• 1776 Declaration of Independence
The problems that beset Presidents Washington and Adams arose more from the wars spawned by the French Revolution. War erupted in 1792 when France attempted to export its revolutionary ideas and when several European monarchical nations allied against the French, hoping to eradicate the threat posed by the republican revolutionaries. The great danger for the United States began in the spring of 1793 when Great Britain, the principal source of American trade, joined the coalition against France. Although the Washington administration proclaimed American neutrality, a crisis developed when London sought to prevent U.S. trade with France. Numerous depredations occurred on the high seas, as ships of the Royal Navy seized American ships and cargoes and sought to impress American sailors who had allegedly deserted the British navy. Cries for war with Britain were widespread by 1794. Believing that war would be disastrous, President Washington sent John Jay to London to seek a diplomatic solution. The result was Jay's Treaty, signed in 1794. The treaty improved U.S.-British relations. France, interpreting the treaty as a newly formed alliance between the United States and an old enemy, retaliated by ordering the seizure of American ships carrying British goods. This plunged Adams into a foreign crisis that lasted for the duration of his administration. At first, Adams tried diplomacy by sending three commissioners to Paris to negotiate a settlement. However, Prime Minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand of France insulted the American diplomats by first refusing to officially receive them. He then demanded a $250,000 personal bribe and a $10 million loan for his financially strapped country before he would begin peace negotiations. This episode, known as the XYZ affair, sparked a white-hot reaction within the United States.

Answer:
It's complicated, but I can help you get some initial ideas you can use to form your own essay.
Explanation:
Each of these civilizations has influenced the modern western world in many different ways, each just as important as the next. Mesopotamian society has greatly influenced agriculture, law, and organized cultural centers. Egypt has greatly influenced (and continues to influence) the fundamentals of trade, economy, agriculture, and organized politics/religion. India has influenced the western world by means of agriculture, spirituality, diplomacy, and many of the philosophical foundations we use today.
