Tench Tilghman, Washington's aide-de-camp.
Q :The decisive Franco-American victory of Yortown forced UK to negociate the Peace (Treaty of Paris, 1783).
But UK had a lot of soldiers in America (31,000 in USA, 13,000 in Cananda) and in UK (64,000), so they would have been able to follow the fight.
But They surrender because before Yorktown, UK had several problems with France : unfavourables events were known in London just before the Yorktown's defeat news. This pushed UK to reddition.
What were these events ?

Well, question probably to complex, with to many parameters, sorry.
Why Hobbes should have been always affraid during his life (psychanalysts theory), leading him to write the Leviathan, with this Omnipotentia State ?

Sorry Padisha...don't think I understand the question. Is it: Why was Hobbes afraid during his lifetime leading him to write the Leviathan, which was about an Omnipotentia (onomatopoeia??) State? Got no idea who Hobbes is/was anyway... :happy2:

Yes, it was something like that
sorry.Hobbes, famous english philosopher of the XVIIth, was an absolutist, his most famous book, "Leviathan", describes his idea of the State, with all the power ("omnipotent" in french, with all the might, i believe this word was in english too).
For the psychanalysts, it the translation of his fear, and they explained this fear by something special, quite hard to believe.
He was born in 1588, and his mother, when she was pregnant of him, was totally affraid by the news of the coming of the Invincible Armada. This fear, for the psychanalysts, was given to him while his mother was pregnant.
Go on

Here is my question?
Did the First U. S. Congress really elect Chaplains for the purpose of having the Chaplains perform prayers to open each daily session of Congress?
