The suggestion would have to be practical in 1778, politically feasible, and specific enough to accomplish the goal.

As examples, the Electoral College was a necessity because of communication problems, most folk knew that slavery was awful but it was not politically feasible to fix it, and the two party system was something they opposed but did not realize that their rules of winner take all made it inevitable.

What I am asking is what might have been their biggest mistake, and how might they have fixed it had they known. Extra points for more than one thing but it must fit the feasibility and both the mistake and solution criteria.

The British Empire was the largest empire by GDP, landmass, and population the world has ever seen. It also had one of the strongest navies the world has ever seen. By 1913 it held 458 million people (one fourth of the world's pop), and 14.2 square miles of land (one fourth of the land on Earth). I believe that Gandhi had a role in liberating India, inturn dissolving the British East India company (the main revenue source for the empire), King George III also dealt the empire a blow when he lost the thirteen colonies. Major fires in London hurted the economy. The two World Wars drained Great Britain. And the sheer distance the empire's land was spreaded out made it easy for foreign power attacks and revolutions to start in one certain area. What do you think happened to the British Empire that forced it into a small island country today known as the U.K?

Due my research, it seems that New York's nickname, the Big Apple, was slowly getting being adapted from the beginning of the 1920's starting with the horseracing of John Fitzgerald, continuing with the way Jazz musicians from New Orleans refered to New York City as the Big Apple for their triumphs of performences there in the '30s and '40s, then in '71 when New York adapted that name and decided to grow alot of red apples to "lure foreigners to New York", and finally finishing with making this spot in New York City called the "Big Apple Corner". There seems to be alot of other ways Big Apple started being used. On famous school in Brooklyn where my sister goes is called with two names: Bembi Academy and Big Apple Academy.

All right, so the history seems to be sort of clear... it appears that the nickname was being adapter by other people and businesses and slowly became New York's second name. Why I need as an answer here is a well-written essay about the Big Apple.

Does anybody have any idea what this might be worth? There is no makers mark or name on it but it is ceramic and in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Glazing is a little crazed but that is to be expected after all these years. Any advice would be appreciated.

History has been mofied by those on powers to meet their own objectives. It is good way to brainwash people, by suggesting, what happened in History.

But to what extent world history has been modified to suit the needs of those on power? To what extent it is happening now?
