That is the history that is not taught in our educational system.[/quote]
That kind of history is now outlawed in Florida.

70 Caliber? Holy crap....
As one who has never owned a gun, just how big IS a .70 caliber pistol?

Seven tenths of an inch. The .7 is the percentage of an inch. The ball itself was probably about .69.

Andrew Jackson was also known to be a poor speller. During a campaign, Adams denounced him as “a savage who can scarcely spell his own name.” In response, Jackson said: “It is a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word.”
Jackson’s spelling was indeed creative; examples include “devilopment,” the continent of “Urope,” describing a “larg” audience, a reference to a “femal character.” He sometimes spelled the same word several different ways in a single letter.

Of course Ben Franklin wanted to set up a new alphabet cutting out 6 letters including C which he said could easily be replaced by K and S.
