The event (sinking of a battleship) wasn\'t falsified, it was investigated
five or six times, with mixed conclusions. Probably it was a mistake,
amplified by hysterical press reporting. Falsified implies knowing
assertions of a non-fact.
Mexico, after achieving independence, unwisely allowed US
citizens to settle in the area as long as they obeyed the law and
converted to Catholicism. They did neither and became a breakaway
province which the US scooped up under \'manifest destiny\'.
... and because of principles, like freedom of religion

The Tripoli line dates to 1805, Montezuma to 1847.
Jefferson sent 3 frigates of the US Navy to the Mediterranean in 1801 to
protect US merchant ships. The decision was of doubtful

The Mexican-American War was a result of the US annexing Texas, a part
of Mexico. Mexico, after achieving independence, unwisely allowed US
citizens to settle in the area as long as they obeyed the law and
converted to Catholicism. They did neither and became a breakaway
province which the US scooped up under \'manifest destiny\'.
Mexico didn\'t \"own\" Texas or the Texans. And Texas is now a much
better place than Mexico.

Gasoline consumption should properly be expressed in square meters.
And electron consumption? Don\'t tell me, N. Joule is the unit of work, consumption is J per meter where a joule is N·m, so J/m is just N.
Did I do that right?
It always bugs me that they use kWh for BEVs as it is a bastard unit. Converting to J/m uses a multiplier of 2.24, so at 300 Wh/mi you get 671 J/m or N. Not a bad unit and it becomes 671 kJ/km (still N) which is still workable if a bit awkward to write. So rounding off, I shoot to get 700 kJ/km or about 1100 kJ/mi if you must use miles. But no matter how I calculate the consumption, I still pay for electricity by the kWh which is 3.6 MJ.
E-bike advertisements are the worst! Batteries in AH, or V, anything but
WHr or kJ. Motors specified in Whr... sigh.

never been able to ferret out why US merchant vessels were there in the

No, it was the other way around.
Slaves FOR the North African markets.
Piratery in the Mediterranian was a big thing,
including raids to the southern French and Italian shores.
Blondes preferred. They even sacked an entire village on
Iceland. That used to be a core competence of the Vikings.
The Corsairs were the offspring of the Arabs who had occupied
Spain for > 400 Years. They needed a new finance concept, badly.
Or that the American slave biz worked so smoothly because
the African tribes were used to sell their fellow African
tribes. So there wasn\'t much slave hunting involved, just
transport capacity.
But, of course, it is politically incorrect to mention that.

Slavery was universal throughout recorded history so certainly before
that. It\'s not remarkable that the US and England participated in
slavery. What\'s remarkable is that they ended it.

The Industrial Revolution made wage slaves a much more attractive
proposition. You didn\'t have to feed, clothe, or doctor them, and you
could fire them when you didn\'t need them anymore.
