the late 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; - centuries = 1800-1899 19th century;&amp;nbsp; 1900-1999 20th century,&amp;nbsp; 2000-2999 21st century. Your sentence is obscure as the reference to the American Civil war is without context.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The United
&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Stateâs&lt;/font&gt; involvement &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The States are multiple states within the Union, so plural.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;United &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Nation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;b&gt;s&lt;/b&gt; formed&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Many nations are members.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Iraqi's&lt;/font&gt; and&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The apostropher makes this a possessive - The Iraqi's house. Do not use apostrophes with plurals.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;blamed &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;by &lt;/font&gt;the Africanized honey
bee.&amp;nbsp; Was the bee blaming someone or is the bee being blamed for the deaths? &lt;u&gt;Blamed by&lt;/u&gt; for the first, &lt;u&gt;blamed on&lt;/u&gt; for the second.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;spread &lt;/b&gt;and &lt;b&gt;distributed&lt;/b&gt; into Central
 America&amp;nbsp; - you don't need both. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;, &lt;b&gt;condemning&lt;/b&gt; the first death in &lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;America&lt;/font&gt; by a killer bee&amp;nbsp; "&lt;b&gt;said to be&lt;/b&gt;" .&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You have referred to South America and to Central America. Here you really need to identify the US as the location. America is the entire continent.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
further&lt;b&gt;&lt;strike&gt;more&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;strike&gt; on&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the study o&lt;b&gt;f&lt;/b&gt; Africanized honey bees.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1990's&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = possessive. In this context, 1990s{the decade of&amp;nbsp; 1990-1999) would be better.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
