I've noticed that a number of northern states waited until the American revolution to abolish slavery. How did the American revolution facilitate slavery's downfall in those states? How did the southern states react during the war?
I'll give it one bump

North was more industrialized and had less use for slaves. Idk why they waited until after the revolution to abolish slavery, maybe the British govt. wouldn't let them.
probably needed all the labor they could get for the war effort
What did "let them eat cake" mean?
SHE NEVER SAID THAT
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>It's silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas.
What did he mean by this?
>>1690490
>Lel, you have no bread?
>Why not just eat cake?
She thought that they were just lacking supplies of bread not extremely poor.

So, the Warlord phase sure existed.
Reminder that a shitty little island slapped the "Central State" so hard that they're still reeling today
I read that executioners were usually common working men who volunteered to take up the job. What was the incentive to do so? Were they paid?
>job
>were they paid?
yes executioners were paid
>>1690412
Sometimes victims would pay them to do a clean job
>>1690423
How much?
I've heard many people from Bosnia talk about this, and recently a family from Sarajevo my uncles hosted in the 90's came visiting and they said that Republika Srpska troops are seen moving along the borders frequently. I found nothing online talking about this. What do you think?
Seeing how the Army of Srpska disolved and was integrated into the Bosnian amry, your full of shit.
Not that I wouldn't enjoy seeing Muslims and Serbshits kill each other, I doubt something will happen.
Well the balkans are still full of blood thirsty rural simpletons living in poverty. Especially Bosnia.
So yeah I guess it could happen. Why not?
Did Julius Caesar really let King Nicomedes II fuck him up the ass for the use of his fleet?
Did he really slobber all over his dick for a boat?
Did he really let cock get shoved up him for canoes?
>>1690317
Nicomedes IV, and no, it was just a meme used by Caesar's enemies.
>>1690317
No, Julius Caesar let King Nicomedes II fuck him in the ass because they were butt buddies

Every woman's husband and every man's wife.
Speaking in number of people, is the modern Kuk/KEK/Keku cult already larger than the one in ancient Egypt?
>>1690269
There's no evidence for an actual cult associated with KEK.

Why don't they just rename it the Book of Metaphors?
because its called the book of Genesis
>>1690137
Because there are relatively few, if any, metaphors contained in it.
>>1690137
Because it's primarily mythology
Why were thr iranians so much more handsome than iraqis?
And then these guys showed up
Its like ww1, except with 80s mustaches instead of bar mustaches.
If given the choice, would you join the NKVD or any other brutal secret service for your own profit?
If yes, then why?
If no, then why?

Nkvd straight up, I'm a member of the NSA(we don't exist btw) and I fantasize about being an inquisitor.
>>1690119
Which role would you prefer?
Would you want a comfy office job deciding whether people die or not(or just being autistically obsessed with details like the Spanish Inquisition), or would you prefer doing executions or what?
Also pls don't leak my nudes.
Were samurai the best warriors in history? They certainly were stronger than knights.
>fuck with European knights
>get lanced

japanese samurai did meet conquistadors on the battlefield in SEA at one stage of spanish conquisition. they were described as monsters coming out of the sea (mutual)
http://mindhost.tumblr.com/post/121340951697/spanish-armada-defeat-samurai
this was in 1580
spain went down to england in 1599 and issued in the new era as the balance of power was shifted from germano centric to where it stands to day as anglo sax english
portuguese got there (south east asia area) first (as usual) to the area like banda - monopoly area on nutmeg and mace

VOC comes through (dutch) and genocides the population shortly after in 1621 as a proxy state to the great anglosphere post armada defeat.
>culture is relative
>>1689898
>culture
it pretty much is
military is objective when other side is slaughtered
technology is objective when it does it's function better than the other piece
government can be objective when it organizes their shit better
but for culture, by what value does one judge a painting?
>>1689983
if you see niall fergussons west vs rest 2 part documentary
>northern american culture>south america
>south bred into slave pop, culture dies out
>north america embaresses concept of republican free state civilisation, segregation lasts much longer, states unify into cohesive identity, outperform economically and thus their culture hangs around for longer
objectively better
thinks like platos slave being todays citizen
or a military warrior intellectual elite from sparta, these ideas still ring true today whilst the rest remains backwash
some ideas are eternal and cultures that trend through correlation or causation or agency last longer and are objectively better off through metrics like wellness etc of the society example justice
What role did samurai play in battles? They seem way too well armed to be canon fodder
>>1689893
>implying any army would use soldiers as canon fodder
off yourself
>>1689893
Samurai were a social class, not a unit in a video game.
They were the warrior class. They were knights, officers and Generals. Mercenaries sometimes.
