(Wendy's created an account on Fortnite, an extremely popular online multiplayer game, and posted a live video of their gameplay.)

Idk, I'm guessing a small group of their hip social media people joined forces to play it on one account. :P

perhaps Wendy's just paid them to make an account in their name and play well to entice people to come more.

I mean Fortnite supposedly works best as a team game, so they probably used more than one account.

"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"
"You're a dork," Nico announced.

The Battle of New Orleans (War of 1812) ended with the american victory, but it was two weeks after the Treaty of Ghent declared peace between the US and England. Due to the slowness of communication the soldiers at the time still thought they were at war.

Fun fact, in World War 2, Russia suffered 21 million causalities, and for every 5 German soldiers that died, 4 of them where on the Eastern front.

The last significant Confederate active force to surrender was the Confederate allied Cherokee Brigadier General Stand Watie and his Indian soldiers on June 23. The last Confederate surrender occurred on November 6, 1865, when the Confederate warship CSS Shenandoah surrendered at Liverpool, England.

not on the subject of history, but..

lawyers say not to put up 'beware of dog' signs because if something happens with your dog they can say that you knew your dog was dangerous and you can be liable to charges.
