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 the spring of 1763, Pontiac' warriors simultaneously attacked forts around Lakes Erie and Huron, and captured eight posts. Pontiac put Detroit under siege for over a year. It led to bloody battles as British units tried to put down the uprising and recapture the forts.
