  4. The American Civil War was possibly won with British made weapons the Pattern 1853 Enfield. British companies did supply arms, primarily to the Confederate states, though also to the Union. While the British government declared neutrality, private arms manufacturers in England and Birmingham supplied the Confederacy with rifles and ammunition. This trade was often facilitated by Confederate agents in Europe and British financial firms, who provided funding for blockade runners. The Confederacy, lacking a strong industrial base, relied heavily on these imported weapons to sustain their military effort.

  6. As a big bike rider and have covered thousands of kilometres in Thailand riding solo or with a group, I've found Thai drivers to be very courteous in the way they will pull over to the left to let you pass, especially on country roads, big trucks as well, always give them a ๐Ÿ‘‹ of appreciation. Obviously not every driver is like this, you wouldn't expect that whatever country you were in.
