How heat and humidity affect running performance and how to acclimatize to hot conditions. The human body has the ability to cool itself in hot conditions by sweating. Actually, itâs the evaporation of sweat that causes cooling, not sweating itself. (This is important with regards to humidity.)
Colonial America: Pontiac's Rebellion (1763â1766) was an uprising by native tribes from the Great Lakes region against settlers who were taking over their land.
In a little over a month, Pontiac's forces had overrun most of the British forts in the region extending from the Pennsylvania frontier to Lake Superior. By mid-1763, Detroit was the only British post west of Niagara, New York, that had not fallen to American Indian attack. The well-organized American Indian offensive slowed in the summer of 1763, however, when Pontiac failed to capture this major British post.
