How the English Brought Roast Beef to America
Roast beef is a dish of beef that is roasted, generally served as the main dish of a meal. In the Anglosphere, roast beef is one of the meats often served at Sunday lunch or dinner.
In the middle of the 17th century a second wave of English settlers and migrants began arriving in North America, settling mainly in the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia and Maryland, expanding upon the Jamestown settlement. Their roast beef was often served with Yorkshire puddings and horseradish sauce.

Henry Chadwick, English-American Who Brought Baseball to America
Henry Chadwick's early contributions to the development of the game is often called the "Father of Baseball" for his early reporting on and contributions to the development of the game. He edited the first baseball guide that was sold to the public. He is credited with creating box scores, as well as creating the abbreviation "K" that designates a strikeout.
Baseball was invented in England as a a number of folk games in early Britain and continental Europe had characteristics that can be seen in modern baseball (as well as in cricket and rounders). English lawyer William Bray recorded a game of baseball on Easter Monday 1755 in Guildford, Surrey; Bray's diary was verified as authentic in September 2008. This early form of the game was apparently brought to North America by British immigrants. The first appearance of the term that exists in print was in "A Little Pretty Pocket-Book" in 1744, where it is called Base-Ball.

No Face Nate, write a song for the British LIONS who are taking a stand. Slumbering lions rising again and again...till victory. Immortalize their courage and buttress their hearts in the cold trials ahead.
Sing their glory! They are new to being rowdy boys like us old rebels of ol' Virginie!
