Hey /his/torians. I got to wondering the other day about which Native American tribe I would want to be in if I had to chose, but my knowledge of Native American history is quite limited. What would you guys say was the "best" tribe to live in between the 1700s and 1800s and why? I'm asking in terms of cool culture/traditions, strength, resources, etc.

the term "observer" is analogical in quantum physics talk, it doesn't mean that literally looking at things messes them up, it means that introducing new forces to a system messes them up. On the quantum level things are so small that the light produced by e.g. a microscope is enough to push a particle in one way or another so you can never have a completely accurate measurement. Not because of any weird consciousness magic but because on that scale there is no such thing as a negligible amount of force.

In the face of attacks by Vikings, Magyars, Arabs etc. the Carolingians had to decentralize authority to local lords who used this as an opportunity to build up their own power and could resist the central power of the state.

What specifically about the Civil war? Do you have an actual word limit rather than an arbitrary page limit?
Have the best books on the subject anyway:

It needs to be 4000-500 words. It doesn't need to be a specific subject, just the cilvil war in general. Like what happened before, during and after the war.
>>
>>536692
Bit awkward, then Shelby Foote's work would be great for it, considering it is a narrative history of the Civil war, though for obvious reasons you'll have to tone it down considering he wrote three volumes on it, focus on all the major events of the war, and their impacts, some other reading I remember using when I wrote an essay relating to the Civil War a few years back

Let's talk about historians. Do you have any 'favorite' historians, whose work you particularly admire? Any historians you dislike?
What do you think qualifies someone to call themselves a 'historian'? I've seen many history books on shelves written by people with degrees in English or other arts degrees aside from history--are their works as valuable as someone who has degrees in history, or do they need history degrees to successfully write about history?

I dislike "historians" who are really just philosophers who try to legitimize their worldviews with references to politics, economics and historical events. They usually do very little historical research of their own and rely on secondary sources and case studies of famous events.
This type of "historian" includes Foucault, Marx, and Hofstadter.
