Fucking savages, good riddance.

Well, at least Ataturk made a worthy nation on it's remains.

the lemon is good though

In general, yes. It's not always related to preserving fortifications, but archaeological practices usually take preservation into account because of how destructive archaeology is. Essentially, when you excavate a site, you destroy it. Once it's dug up, its data potential is entirely gone. So researchers usually only excavate parts of a site to preserve things they don't want to destroy.

With something like the site you're talking about, it's probably a matter of what people who have looked at it think they can actually learn about the site. The battle was documented pretty well historically (especially small details through things like letters), and an excavation probably wouldn't reveal very much new information. So they decided it wasn't worth destroying part of a well-known historical site to learn things they probably already knew.

That was something I hadn't really considered, but now it seems pretty obvious; The revolution wasn't all that long ago compared to other points of history.
Thanks for the reply.

I feel like I should point out that when something happened doesn't necessarily have an affect on how archaeologically interesting a site will be, or how much can be learned from it. Until the past few decades, most things weren't recorded and pretty important things can be learned from most places which can be considered archaeological sites. That goes for Saratoga as well. I'm sure if an excavation was done, some pretty interesting things might be discovered (see some of the excavations on Civil War sites or the Little Bighorn for example), but that possibility has be weighed against destroying something that's seen as a key part of American history. Because as much as most people want to know about the battle was written down, it's not hard to see why that choice went the way it did.

Why do we pretend Jesus did nothing wrong? He blasphemed on the G-d that created the universe. He claimed to be the Messiah. Everyone knows the Mashiach isn't supposed to reveal himself.

Because to acknowledge him would be to acknowledge our incredible success.

Because the only people who got pwnt by him were niggers

He has a fat face and droopy nose.

From the language of the articles and constituion it seems that most foinding fathers saw the union as a perminent arrangment. However, thw founding fathers are unanimous and so did believe that succession was a legal right.
The wording of the constirution was not clear and the legality of succession was not decided by the supreme court, but rather by military action.

Getting a cushy job as a school teacher where you can bitch and moan about how hard you have it to your union buddies in between strikes and your months of paid holidays.

You learn how the world works, and why the things you see around you are.

It also becomes more difficult for people to bullshit you with lies in order to get you to vote/behave/work/worship a particular way.

Why is there Slovenia? Just what the fuck is ISIS, and how do you fight it? Why the fuck are Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio even a part of American politics? What the fuck did my neighbor mean when he said my street was lined with Sears homes?

Without studying history, you don't fucking know anything.

Didn't he and leader of Sudan have some form of dialogue at Khartoum where he was asked to surrender and he replied with some quote about being remembered through history or some shit.
If anyone can find and post that quote I'll be much obliged.
