Just graduated high school and am going to junior college to probably become a history teacher.
Two questions for anyone wanting to help me out:
1.) Should I go to school to become a professor or a high school teacher?
2.) Are there any other professions involving history?

Do you think you will enjoy living with your parents at the age of 28?
Do you enjoy working in the food service industry?
These are two questions you must ask yourself if you are to become a History major

>Should I go to school to become a professor or a high school teacher?
Do you have a desire to teach? Or would you prefer doing research work?
>Are there any other professions involving history?
Museums, archives, libraries.

Why was Protestantism so enticing to Germanics and Nordics of the 16th century? I've heard it was mostly a matter of distance from the Papacy, but that doesn't explain why places so far from the Mediterranean, like Poland or Ireland, never had their kings and populations convert to this new brand of Christianity. Was it really a matter of Papal influence not reaching them? And if so, how did the Church manage to keep power over Ireland, Poland, and etc?

with Ireland it was more to spite the English than anything else.

Poland had a Protestant movement but it was crushed by Catholic kings. Bohemia and Hungary were majority Protestant until Habsburg counter-reformation.

>Adams is in Boston for some reason
>He witnesses the aftermath of the Boston Massacre... which never happened
>The British is heard ordering to fire into the crowd and that fucking never happened
>First Fucking Episode
Goddammit HBO... I honestly should not have expected too much. At least they show a British soldier wounded which was actually accurate in the accounts of the massacre. Should I drop this or keep going? I hate one sided biased documentaries and as an American I hate seeing these "didin du nuffin" stories our country likes to tell.

could it be because he was living there at the time

Not only did the Boston Massacre happen, even if it was overblown. The series has him successfully defending the British as in the right. Are you sure we watched the same show?

Parties in the 19th century were almost purely regional in their aims. The Republicans wanted to limit the expansion of slavery in the west because it threatened northern industrial interests. Outside of a few devoted abolitionists, there was no ideological component to political parties back then.

Shakespeare did it. But he wasn't alone. Actually Shakespeare is a pseudonym comprising a bunch of authors, including Francis Bacon and Cagliostro, that have found the secret of eternal life. Francis Bacon is aka Aleister Crowley, Oswald Spengle, Bruce Willis and that guy from BB.

Witches were people generally believed to have made a deal with the Devil and actively worship him. I believe that this description of people working with nefarious forces within a religion to bring harm to a society is found everywhere.
>>
>>1569462
During the early Medieval period it was, but by the Renaissance the Church came to see witch-hunts as an acceptable way of purging heretics, and the idea persisted until the Enlightenment.
