Kana zvikazivikanwa kuti i zvapupu zviviri kana zviratidzo zviviri zvinomisa “nguva yokuguma” yechiporofita, zvinogonawo kuzivikanwa kuti chimwe chezviratidzo zviviri izvi chinomirira kuzivikanwa, kuziviswa, kana yambiro yenhoroondo iri kuswedera. Aroni, Johani, Koreshi, naJustinian vanomirira chiratidzo chinotangira nguva yokuguma. Nguva yokuguma muna 1798 ndiyo kuguma kwenguva inomiririrwa kubva muna 1776 kusvikira muna 1798. Chiratidzo chiri pakati penhoroondo iyoyo ndiro inzwi rinodanidzira murenje pamusoro penhoroondo iri kuswedera. Nhoroondo iyoyo yakatanga nechinyorwa chakabudiswa chichiramba utongi hwehudzvinyiriri hwaizova hwamambo kana hwapapa, uye yakaguma nechinyorwa chakabudiswa chinomirira hunhu hwemudzvinyiriri. Chinyorwa chakabudiswa chiri pakati chaimirira “yambiro” yenhoroondo yaizouya, uye yambiro yacho yaiva yokuti Bumbiro reUnited States raizopidigurwa pakupera kwenhoroondo yacho.
