"Guerilla" warfare. Tactics designed to maximise the effectiveness and the survivability of a force (which may be paramilitary or military) that is usually at a disadvantage numerically, and often in terms of firepower, support elements, supplies, infrastructure, technology, and command and control. Such tactics have also been adopted by larger forces for various reasons, often in secondary campaign areas where the concern is more to harry the enemy and deny him control of an area while the bulk of ones forces are committed elsewhere (for instance, the British Commonwealth's Chindit forces operating in South Asia during the Second World War at a time when the War in Europe and North Africa prevented Britain despatching greater forces to India/Burma). The Swiss Army's primary strategy for defending the country from any invasion, which would almost certainly be by far greater forces, calls for guerilla tactics.
The main elements of guerilla warfare are keeping forces broken into small, largelly independent units, which are highly mobile, and try to avoid observation by, or contact with the enemy, except under favourable conditions, and usually relying on surprise attacks and ambushes. Key to success is ensuring the guerilla force is able to choose both the ground and timing of attacks, ideally against small enemy sub-units, far from timely support. After a successful action, the guerilla unit would not normally attempt to hold ground, but quickly escape and evade any possible reinforcements sent to aid the unit they had attacked. The object of guerilla warfare is not to seize or control ground, but to deny the enemy control of the ground, and to tie his forces up in a war of attrition.
It should be noted that this way of fighting has traditionally been relied upon for thousands of years by forces whose numerical disadvantage compelled them to, and where the terrain allowed it. Although such tactics are commonly thought of in connection with heavily forested, or mountainous terrain, they have also been adopted by forces fighting in vast, open terrain, where even a much larger enemy force must spread itself thinly. In such terrain, guerillas are often mounted, allowing themselves to quickly move to attack positions, and to escape and evade a following enemy force as rapidly. Examples include the Scythians in resisting the invasion of Scythia by the Persian Empire, and both Boer and British Commonwealth mounted units during the Second Boer War.
non traditional way of fighting, mostly surprise attacks

Economic problems that the US was facing during the 1790s?
Political problems were mainly in the type of government that we wanted to set up long term. from 1776-1783 there was no ruling government for the first part of the American Revolution. Then in 1783 they temporarily set up a confederate government in 1783. It was the Confederate Government run by the Articles of Confederation. Then realizing that this was not a healthy long term option they squabbled over what type of government should be set up. Some thought that a monarchy should be setup with Washington at the helm. Others thought that Washington should lead a military coup d'etat and become a military dictator. Ideas were widely spread. Economically to but simply. America was broke. To be best compared to the the modern day country of Belize. The British had pulled out of trade with America helping to lose their number 1 trade partner
What did Locke think would happen without government?
In a state of nature, a term first coined by Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes, in his writings, compared the state of nature to a "condition of war," describing it this way:
Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.John Locke used this idea to propose his "social contract" theory, in which people agree to be governed in return for government protecting their natural rights.When is the earliest after fertilization you can miscarry?
You can have a miscarriage at any time during your pregnancy, but once you reach the second trimester of your pregnancy your chances of miscarriage goes way down. No one ever really knows what causes a miscarriage for instance I had never had one I had three very normal pregnancies and then this last Febuary I had one at 11 weeks and the doctors said they couldn't explain sometimes it just happens. It is thought that up to 50% of fertilised eggs are passed with the period so in a sense that is a very early miscarriage, but the women don't even know they are pregnant.
