  2. History Academic Team QUESTION: One leader of this state, John McKinley, was captured in bed by the British. The Swedish settlement of Fort Christina is located in this state. This state disputed a small tract known as the Wedge with its northern neighbor until 1921. Until it gained an independent legislature in 1701, it was known as the Three Lower Counties." This state's northern border is an arc centered on the courthouse in New Castle, the Twelve-Mile Circle, and its western border is the Mason-Dixon line. For ten points, name this small Mid-Atlantic state where an 1861 vote against secession from the Union was taken in Dover.

  3. History Academic Team ANSWER: Delaware

Another of these events was preceded by a battle in which aming camels were used to combat war elephants and resulted in a pyramid made of 80,000 human skulls. Nadir Shah led one of these events, which was preceded by the Battle of Karnal, and that one of these events caused the capture of the Kooh-i-Noor diamond and the Peacock Throne. For ten points, name these events in which an invading force looted the Mughal capital.
