Abstract This paper examines how there was a certain inevitability about the American victory in the war against the British. It shows how it was a war of ideas based on natural rights philosophy and how the people wanted to change the world of lords and kings and were not going to give up. It looks at how the colonial militia had spirit and fortitude, and with their new war tactics, they held their own against the red coats. It discusses how the British themselves faced many practical difficulties. It analyzes how the Americans' moves were designed and coordinated, while poor communication and indecisiveness hindered the planning of the British. It also discusses the campaign of 1777, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the defeat at York Town.
From the Paper "Even though the American army was small compared to the British, but their military tactics and skills were excellent. The British firing techniques were also not effective. The commanders lined up their troops in lines, one line in front of the other. Then, the British soldiers fired, knelt down, and then reloaded their weapons. While the British were standing in the open, the Americans used guerrilla tactics and fired upon the redcoats while using the trees as protection. Almost defenseless to this American technique, the British lost many soldiers. The Americans knew how to fight effectively with their limited troops. Prussian soldier Steuben's training program was designed to equip American troops to fight in European fashion with modifications to provide for the increased use of light infantry."

Abstract This paper explains that the Emery Barnes Park is one of three parks in the downtown south region of Vancouver, which are intended to bring 4.5 acres of park space to the residents of the area. The author points out that the cultivation of the landscape matches the up-market culture of the region. The paper describes the elegant lines, modern architectural touches and elegant old-world stone structures, which characterize this landscape. The author relates that, despite some old world touches, the atmosphere of the park creates a feeling of modernism with its forward-looking view of the world, which focuses on reason, scientific rationality, creativity, progress and novelty. The paper states that the park is named for Emery Barnes, a longtime community activist who was chosen to represent the park because of his commitment to human rights and helping the disadvantaged, a big part of Canada's liberal cultural policy. The paper includes color photos.
From the Paper "Perhaps many years ago the region may have been somewhat derelict, or at the very least ordinary: the urbanization of the downtown region has replaced some fairly seedy regions, which still exist on the east side of the downtown area. The park's structure is notable because it is very open. Residents in the area typically live in condos or apartments, and therefore have no back yard or natural space to enjoy. Emery Barnes Park therefore operates as a place of relaxation and enjoyment of both natural and man-made beauty. The green grass gives the urban residents the chance to walk on green lawn, bare foot if they wish to."
