Somewhat archaic/patronising yet affectionate term used in the UK for the white dominions of Australia, Canada, New Zealand.

An agreement from the British to evacuate the posts in the West. They also promised to compensate American shipowners for seizures in the West Indies and to open up their colonies in Asia to American Ships. However the British did not concede to American demands that the rights of neutrals on the high seas be respected. As well John Jay committed the United States to paying pre-Revolutionary debts still owed to British merchants. Although Jay might have driven a hard bargain, this was a valuable treaty for the United States but also a humiliating one. Most of what the United States gained already legally belonged to it, and the treaty sacrificed principals of importance to a nation dependent on foreign trade.

UNSC stands for: United Nations Space Colonies. It is used mostly in the Halo books, but you may catch some people saying it in the Halo video games.

Filing for divorce.

The legal document recognized on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia by the Continental Congress and signed by many of our founding fathers, announcing a seccesion of the 13 Colonies from Great Britain. It is the event by which we celebrate Independence Day.

For someone who isn't trying to insult America, Amelia Jade May does a fine job of it in her ridiculous definiton!

May I address some things here?

1) The English language is totally overrated. French is a much more sophisticated language and I'm truly sorry the French didn't make a better go of it in the US, because I could be speaking a very fine language instead of the mutt one we Americans got stuck with. Thanks England! :-(

2) Please stop complaining about being called "British, European, Eastern, etc." News flash here. You ARE British, you ARE European and you ARE from the East. Complaining about being called British and European is like me complaining about being called a female. Get over it.

3) Stop jeering us for calling it soccer. YOU all gave it that name and if you didn't want us to call it that, then you shouldn't have invented the name. So there.

4) Please stop with the "you came at the end of the war to get credit" nonsense. There is no international law which states that we have to come to your rescue when you squabble with your Euro friends. Just be glad your former colonies liked you enough to have helped you out. Next time we might not be so nice.

5) Please stop the "Without England, there would be no America" crap. Lots of other European empires settled here too (French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian etc) so to say that we wouldn't exist without you all is a bit arrogant don't you think? Oh and I'm sure the natives would h...

Sore loser. One who can't take a joke, can't get over losing its global status and can't stand that one of its former colonies defeated it twice in war and has exceeded it culturally, politically and economically. One who lives in the past (roughly three centuries prior). One who speaks English and is racist, intolerant and smug and can't stand when other English speaking people are racist, intolerant and smug. An obnoxious Pattaya expat that spends all day and night drinking warm ale outside of the tranny bars on Walking Street, picking fights with every other farang they encounter. Inventors of own religion so that fat, limey king could get a divorce. Notice that I didn't mention anything about scurvy, bad teeth, bland food or Tony Blair.

A state of the union locate North of Georgia and south of North Carolina. The state was on of the original thirteen colonies. The first charter was made by the eight lord's proprietors who where being rewarded for the restoring of King Charles II to the throne. Afterward the proprietary government was overthrown due to colonist ill feelings for the support of the eight who they thought where protecting them. A first in a long line of South Carolinian rebellion for superiors.
The port of Charleston was the largest port in the thirteen colonies at the begging of the 1700s (was soon out done by Philadelphia). There also was a large percent of Scot-Irish who immigrated to South Carolina from Britain to escape religious persecution. These hardy pioneers where the people who helped colonize the back country (north eastern part of the state).
During and around the revolution there where only a few people in the state who opposed Britain, most notably Christopher Gadsden. But the British realized there where many loyalist in the state and knew their best chances was to wage the war there, which led to the three attempts to capture Charleston, which succeeded on the third try. But after Tarelton's massacre in the Waxhaw's the Scots Irish strongly opposed British sentiment and helped renew vigor in the rebellion.
If it not been for Francis Marion (the swamp fox) and a couple of others we could not have kept Cornwallis's army from going North and crushing Washington and the C...
