I really enjoyed it as well. Not many people are talking about it, but I found it a very readable introduction to Native North American history.

If you want more modern indigenous history by an indigenous historian Heartbeat of Wounded Knee focuses on the last century or so, and dives into modern life, including life on the reservations.

Hello

Hi

Hi

This is a serious inquiry: in reading the definitive book on Thomas Jefferson by Jon Meacham, the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Merriweather Lewis (of Lewis and Clark fame) appears to paint a picture of a extremely close relationship to the point where a homosexual relationship could thrive. Is there any scholarly report of this?

One of the main differences between the Romans and Italians during the Social War was their legal status. Romans were citizens of the Roman Republic and had certain legal rights and protections, while most Italians were not citizens and were subject to different laws and regulations. This disparity in legal status was one of the main grievances that sparked the Social War, as many Italians felt that they were being treated unfairly by the Roman Republic.

Another difference between the Romans and Italians during the Social War was their political power. Romans held most of the positions of power within the Roman Republic, including the consulship, the senate, and the military. By contrast, many Italians felt that they were being excluded from political power and were not given a say in important decisions that affected their lives.

In terms of culture and society, the Romans and Italians had many similarities, as both groups shared a common language, religion, and history.

I don't know if this helps you much but your comparing apples to eggplants lol. Todays limited government republican party would be virtually unrecognizable to Lincolns strong federalist party. Todays more socially liberal Democratic party has next to nothing to do with the democrats of that era. Its my opinion that todays Democrats were really born out of Thaddeus Stevens "radical republicans" todays Republicans were really born during the extreme states rights vs federal government arguments but that is about as much connection as they have to the parties your talking about.

That’s right. It’s a good read.

Yeah, it's the volume that deals mostly with WWII. It was good. I would recommend it.

Why I find it interesting:

The internet in the last decade hyped Tesla a lot. I didn't dig into his history, but I assumed he was someone unmatched, a polymath able to do everything.

The author is amazing, she went to a lot of primary sources and I was appalled to discover that practically Tesla got Nobelitis after some very successful patents.

Further Tesla was far from being mathematical. Apparently he had a great intuition, but couldn't follow his ideas with the proper mathematics. Last but not least his ideas weren't, like, decades ahead of everyone else. The 3 phase transmission was already implemented and perfected (not only patented) in Germany by a Polish-Russian Engineer, while wifi communications were done by G.Marconi pratically identical like Tesla's patent.

Further: there is also a video on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSyGFEjoYOM

Frederick the Great had several of these. I would also say the Russians pushing Napoleon back to France.

Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and probably Harun alRashid for a start.

You can't be a reactionary dictatorship that goes on and on about tradition and then get rid of something as basic as your writing system. Might as well ban the national dress, music or other important cultural things.

There are many books on the early Arab conquests that spread Islam across the Arabian peninsula, Levant and North Africa. I was wondering if there are any good books about the expansion of Islam into Turkey, Central Asia, India, Indonesia and Africa.
