Colonists in America became increasingly angry with King George III and the English Parliament in the years before the Revolutionary War.

I believe those we're last word of George Washington, before he died? Maybe, he pronounced "it's" uncorrect due to his illness, cannot be sure though..

Therefore "It's well"

Until well into the 19th century, " 'tis " was considered a quite appropriate and common contraction for "it's" or, more formally, "it is". (Of course, at that time, "ain't" was also considered an appropriate contraction for a number of phrases - (is not, am not, are not)) Therefore, "Tis well" is, simply, "It is well". It is believed, in essence, to be, simply, an acceptance of the inevitable.

Do the dates on the invasions of the Roman Empire map suggest an invasion of people or a migration of people?

The date of the invasion of Gaul might suggest that the arrival of the Huns in eastern Europe and the Hungarian Great Plain might have created a population squeeze in northern and central Europe. which led to some peoples to invade Gaul in search of new lands to settle due to. Eventually, the Vandals and Alans settled in Tunisia, the Sueves in north-western Spain, the Burgundians in eastern France. The Alemanni took over Switzerland and north-eastern France (Alsace and Lorraine). The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians migrating to England in waves and taking it over at a later time suggests that there probably was a population squeeze in northern Germany, too.

Why do people call black people coons?

Although currently used as a racial slur, it was originally a shortened form of "Barracoon," a word first used in the 1800's mostly in the Louisiana Territory and French colonial Africa for a place where slaves, indentured servants, and convicts were kept, usually for temporary purposes such as while being transported. It comes from the Spanish word barracón, (or barracara, the word for hut in Catalan). People took off the "barra" and the "coon" slur was born.

The word barracoon may have been first used formally in a legal case by John Quincy Adams in the case before the Supreme Court known as "The United States vs The Amistad" (like in the movie), which was argued in February and March of 1841.

What was the effect of the Roman leaders paying poor people to serve in the army?

The Marian reform which abolished the property threshold for the military draft, abolished conscription and made joining the army voluntary and open to the landless poor was not a proper institutional reform. Faced with a war and a shortage of recruits, Marius just recruited anyone regardless of whether they owned land or not. This did away the system of drafting farmers who had small holdings and went back to their farms at the end of the military campaigning season. You no longer had to own land to join. The army became a career path for the masses of the landless urban unemployed. It gave them a sense of belonging and of being taken care of which they did not have in the city. It also gave them a pay and a sort of pension: plot of land to farm on discharge.

An important aspect of the change is that it did not put in place a new system of state-controlled recruitment. Therefore, this was in the hands of military commanders who needed soldiers. Since they were usually rich they could afford to raise an army and fund its expenses and the pay of the soldiers. If they did not have enough money, they could fund this trough the spoils of war. Moreover, the soldiers often spent long periods of time away from Rome (not being tied to land to farm they could be enlisted for longer periods of time), a city in which they did not have a stake. As a result, the soldiers developed a sense of loyalty for their commanders, rather than the Roman state.

The Roman commanders were able to use their army to obtain what they wanted through the treat of the use of military violence. An example of this was in 71 BC, when Crassus and Pompey camped their troops outside Rome to have themselves elected as consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic). Pompey was not even eligible on the grounds of being below the required age and of not having served some public offices which were required before the consulship. Disputes between strong men and between opposing political factions developed into civil wars. In the last 64 years of the Republic there were 12 civil wars. This also involved the opposing sides levying legions of their own. During the first civil war between Sulla and Marius supporters of Sulla recruited armies around Italy to fight for him. In 88 BC Sulla entered the city of Rome with his troops, even though Roman religion forbade the bearing of arms within the city walls. Julius Cesar was in charge of four legions when he became governor. He raised six more legions on his own to fight his Gallic Wars in which he conquered Gaul. Caesar then seized power in Rome though his military strength. When he fought his civil wars against the forces of the senate he levied more troops. In total he raised 28 legions.

What is a cuckold party?

A cuckold party can refer to two things:

(A) A gathering of couples who engage in cuckold fetishism, often with other, unattached individuals to join the dominant partners in humiliating the submissive (cuckolded) partners.

(B) The same with just a single cuckold couple and a group of unattached guests who have sex with the dominant partner in front of the cuckolded partner.

In fetish usage, the submissive "cuckolds" is almost always (but need not be) a male. Similar activity with a submissive female is less commonly referred to as "cuckolding." The dominant partner is usually female, but can be either sex and same-sex fetish cuckolding is practiced.

It is conventional for the submissive partner to be denied sex with their dominant or orgasmic release during these sessions although they are sometimes required to participate by servicing the guests or by participating in their partners sexual activities in a secondary role. (For instance, inserting the organs of guests into their dominant or licking up ejaculate after the fact, etc.)

It is usual for the submissive to be verbally humiliated and denigrated by the dominant and guests. For the majority male submissives this most commonly takes the form of verbal emasculating; for females submissives comments usually revolve around their putative sexual voraciousness and promiscuity.
