Tip-cat is an early game, which was played well into the middle of the Twentieth Century, but has since declined in popularity. It involves striking a piece of wood (known as the 'cat') lying on the ground with a stick, so that it spins vertically into the air, then using a horizontal swing to strike the 'cat' on its downfall. The object is to hit the 'cat' as far as possible over three consecutive strikes, the next strike taking place where the previous strike landed. A swing that fails to connect with the 'cat', or an initial strike that fails to spin the 'cat' into the air high enough to swing at, still counts toward the three strike total.\nWhile each 'cat' is different, typically being fashioned from whatever wood was lying around at the time, a typical one would be a straight piece of stick about four inches (10 centimetres) long, one inch (2.5 centimetres) in diameter, and cut at an angle at each end to resemble a parallelogram in cross-section. When the 'cat' is on the ground, it will be possible to strike one or the other end of the 'cat' with a stick approximately 30 inches (75 centimetres) long, held one-handed, to cause it to fly up in the air so it can be hit with the stick.\n\nTrap-ball (Trap-ball: trap-ball or knur and spell is an old english game....\n[follow hyperlink for more...]) , which developed by the 14th century, is somewhat similar to tip-cat, except that, instead of striking a cat with a stick to get it to fly in the air so it can be hit, a ball is launched from a kind of catapult.

Ball Terminology:\n* Red = basic object ball that is red in color\n* Ball color = any ball that is not red in color\n\nWhen there are still red balls on the table:\n1. your 1st shot on every turn must be a red(any red ball is ok).\n2. You must first pot a red to gain access to potting any ball color you wish. (the pocketed red shall remain in the pocket)\n3. Before potting a ball color, you must 1st state what color you are taking, and if any other ball(colored or red) goes on your attempt to take your chosen ball color, it will be regarded as a foul. (the pocketed ball color shall be taken out of the pocket and returned to its original spot at the table)\n4. This process is repeated until all red balls are pocketed.\n5. In the event that a ball is missed, the cycle is renewed with the shooting player required to pot a red ball 1st.\n\nWhen all red balls are gone:\n1. balls are pocketed in this order - yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black\n\nFoul Rules:\n*** Cueball must make contact with object ball first otherwise, foul is committed( Penalty: 4pt or corresponding pt value of 1st ball hit, whichever is higher)\n1. If the cueball does not hit anything on the table, the ahooter's opponent may choose to take the shot, pass, or ask the shooter to redo the shot(taking the white to its original place before the shot took place)\n2. If the shooter commits a foul and the opponent has no clear path to an object ball, he may be allowed to take a freeball(any ball on the table). The freeball will take the pt of the original object ball.\n3. other basic rules apply(e.g. cueball pocketed, accidentally nudging any ball on the table, etc)\n\nBall quantity, points and orig spot(looking from the side opposite the arch):\n= RED(15) - 1pt each (in a triangle formation just below the PINK)\n= YELLOW(1) - 2pt (left side of BROWN)\n= GREEN(1) - 3pt (right side of BROWN)\n= BROWN(1) - 4pt (midpoint of the line connecting the arch\n= BLUE(1) - 5pt (center of table)\n= PINK(1) - 6pt (above the reds)\n= BLACK(1) - 7pt (below the reds)\n\nA game ends when:\n1. A player resigns because there are not enough balls on the table to make up for the opponent's score; OR he does not have enough options to execute a good snooker to force the opponent into a foul.\n2. All reds and ball colors are pocketed.\n\nWinner:\n- The player with the most points at the end of the game wins!

First of all Americans are Brits, but are in different countries, and civil war occours in the SAME country, but I think I know what you are refering to.\n\nThe American Revolution was a revolution that ended two centuries of rule of the Thirteen Colonies by the British Empire and created the modern United States of America. The Revolutionary era was both exhilarating and disturbing–a time of progress for some, dislocation for others. The American Revolution is the series of ideas, and changes that resulted in the revolution and ensuing political separation of thirteen colonies in North America from the British Empire and the creation of the United States of America with a new political system. The American War of Independence which lasted from 1775 to 1783, was one part of the revolution, but the revolution by the Americans began before the first shot was fired at Lexington and Concord and continued after the British surrender at Yorktown. Years later, in 1818, John Adams wrote: "The Revolution was effected before the War commenced," and "The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people."\n\nHistorians usually agree that the revolutionary era began in 1763 as Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War, and the military threat to the colonies from France ended. The end of the period is usually marked by as Treaty of Paris in 1783. However, references to the "revolutionary era" sometimes stretched to 1789, when a new government under George Washington began operating.\n\nInterpretations about the effect of the revolution vary. At one end of the spectrum is the older view that the American Revolution was not "revolutionary" at all, that it did not radically transform colonial society, but simply replaced a distant government with a local one. The more recent view pioneered by historians such as Bernard Bailyn, Gordon Wood and Edmund Morgan is that the American Revolution was a unique and radical event, based on a new ideology of "republicanism" which produced deep changes that had a profound impact on world history.

Cricket by a long way. In it's modern form it can be dated back at least until the 1660's, but probably until the 13th century. There is now evidence to suggest a similar game was even played in ancient Rome!\nAs for baseball, the earliest known mention of the sport is in a 1744 British publication, A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, by John Newbery. It contains a wood-cut illustration of boys playing "base-ball". Rounders was actually only codified in the 1840's, so it is hard to say if baseball came from Rounders or not.

No bet!\n\nENIGMA! ENIGMA! ENIGMA! ENIGMA!\n\nI now have one of your questions figured out, that I was originally wrong about, before the voting started. LOL\n\nYou asked:\n\nWhat happens in 8 ball (world standard rules)?\nYour opponent shoots at and successfully sinks one of YOUR stripes, then shoots another stripe and misses the pocket. \n\nWhat do you do? \n\nI say:\nYou shoot solids now, since he has now taken over stripes, because you failed to claim a foul when your opponent pocketed your stripe and then also shot a stripe.\n\nYeah, I know! too late.  LOLOLOLOL

Ethan Allen (yes, just like the furniture stores).\n\nFrom the Virtual Vermont website:\n"At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) he led the expedition that captured Fort Ticonderoga in the first colonial victory of the war (notwithstanding the fact that he and the Boys basically knocked on the door, walked in and took over). He would soon thereafter attempt a badly planned, badly executed assault on Montreal which would result in his being imprisoned by the British and thus removed from further participation in the Revolution.\n"

Ever heard of Google? Type 'Lacrosse' and you'll find:\n\nBRIEF HISTORY\nWith a history that spans centuries, lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America. Rooted in Native American religion, lacrosse was often played to resolve conflicts, heal the sick, and develop strong, virile men. To Native Americans, lacrosse is still referred to as "The Creator's Game." \n\nIronically, lacrosse also served as a preparation for war. Legend tells of as many as 1,000 players per side, from the same or different tribes, who took turns engaging in a violent contest. Contestants played on a field from one to 15 miles in length, and games sometimes lasted for days. Some tribes used a single pole, tree or rock for a goal, while other tribes had two goalposts through which the ball had to pass. Balls were made out of wood, deerskin, baked clay or stone.\n\nThe evolution of the Native American game into modern lacrosse began in 1636 when Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary, documented a Huron contest in what is now southeast Ontario, Canada. At that time, some type of lacrosse was played by at least 48 Native American tribes scattered throughout what is now southern Canada and all parts of the United States. French pioneers began playing the game avidly in the 1800s. Canadian dentist W. George Beers standardized the game in 1867 with the adoption of set field dimensions, limits to the number of players per team and other basic rules.\n\nNew York University fielded the nation's first college team in 1877, and Philips Academy, Andover (Massachusetts), Philips Exeter Academy (New Hampshire) and the Lawrenceville School (New Jersey) were the nation's first high school teams in 1882. There are 400 college and 1,200 high school men's lacrosse teams from coast to coast.\n\nThe first women's lacrosse game was played in 1890 at the St. Leonard's School in Scotland. Although an attempt was made to start women's lacrosse at Sweet Briar College in Virginia in 1914, it was not until 1926 that Miss Rosabelle Sinclair established the first women's lacrosse team in the United States at the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, Maryland.\n\nMen's and women's lacrosse were played under virtually the same rules, with no protective equipment, until the mid-1930s. At that time, men's lacrosse began evolving dramatically, while women's lacrosse continued to remain true to the game's original rules. Men's and women's lacrosse remain derivations of the same game today, but are played under different rules. Women's rules limit stick contact, prohibit body contact and, therefore, require little protective equipment. Men's lacrosse rules allow some degree of stick and body contact, although violence is neither condoned nor allowed.\n\nField lacrosse is sometimes perceived to be a violent and dangerous game, however, injury statistics prove otherwise. While serious injuries can and do occur in lacrosse, the game has evolved with an emphasis on safety, and the rate of injury is comparatively low. Ensuring the safety of participants is a major focus for US Lacrosse and its Sports Science and Safety Committee, which researches injury data in the sport and makes recommendations to make the game as safe as practicable.

"The American Revolution ended in 1783, but the young republic it created faced a difficult time. Nowhere was this more evident than to the farmers of Western Massachusetts. A severe economic depression forced people unable to pay their debts first into court, then into jail . . . The Rebellion started with petitions to the government for paper currency, lower taxes, and judicial reform. When this failed, the farmers took more drastic measures. The first target of the Rebellion was the Court of Common Pleas at Northampton, which an armed body of farmers kept from sitting on August 29th. Similar groups of insurgents stormed the courts at Worcester, Concord, Taunton, and Great Barrington in the following weeks. They hoped to prevent further trials and imprisonment of debtors."\n\nRead more using the link below.
