The Americans attacked the British rear.
The two armies contained about 25,000 soldiers, slightly more British than Americans.

Abe decides to tell Hewlett such sensitive information and then murder him.
(Why not do those things the other way around?)
A potential family, they discuss whether they should light out for Canadaan unfortunate historical howler.
