I found this painting on tin at a yard sale, and i know it is very old, but can i date it by figuring out the uniform on the soldier? the woman looks victorian..was the civil war in the late 1800's? what did their uniforms look like? if it is picture of a civil war soldier and his wife (portrait style), is it neccesarily worth anything?

I know that political wise, North and South America are considered young continents, but how old does the country and/or continent have to be in terms of politics: getting their independence and setting up their own government to be considered old?

Surely you cannot be so biased & partisan as to say that this was the one war where all 974 issues at stake were purely good versus evil. And if you do feel this way, please tell us something else that might surprise us, or tell us what a surviving Roman, Soviet, Neo-Ancient Egyptian, Napoleonic, Inka/Maya/Aztec/Commanche/Sioux, or other world empire might have done for us by the year 2006?

Was Edward the Confessor Edward II?The same goes for Harold who came to the throne after him. I know it might sound stupid, but I was wondering if there had actually been Edward I and Harold I? If not, why the two of them are called the second? :-)
Thanks!

When I saw it in the theatre it was packed, many elderly and some teens too. How do we get the kids today to understand what war and death means? When we walked out of the theatre the kids were cheering and thought the movie was fun and exciting but the many elderly men and their wives all had somber looks on their faces and tears in their eyes. I don't doubt many of these men knew someone who died in Normandy and the movie was eerily realistic. What do you think?

I will write my review and then a comparison review with 5 other books on foreign policy of the WWII era. I must also reference the work of other reviewers. I have only found four other reviews. I find the author bias. I'm interested in other views.

Just met the weirdest guy: He called most of the things was taught in history and my travels, fakes, political manuavering and conspiracy theories. Things like the Holocaust never happened. It was all faked by the UK and Jews to get the US in the war. Then after the war the US kept it going to keep from looking like fools. The masacure at Nanking China was also fakes as propaganda to build resentment against Japan. The US lunar landing were faked in a warehouse in the UK to America would use the money from the space program for the cold war. Your opinions? If you believe the above three statements please take no offense. Just very curious about what other people think.

i knw that the Romans can up with the serif idea when they chisseled into stone and cracked the stone on the sides and it wasn't neat enough so some one (who i odnt know?) came up with the serif to make the ends neater but where do the Greek and Latin come in here? the Italic is related to the inventors of serif. am i right? italic comes from the word Italy and Renaissance people are people from Rome, Italy? am i right there? so how did the serif develop throughout the yrs?

I just sat through lunch with a guy how if 100% percent that most of our history is made up but political groups. Like: "There was Holocaust in Germany. The Brits and Jews made up the whole thing to get America to help them in the war." "There was no Massacure at Nanking Chine, again all propaganda but the government." "Nobody has ever landed on the moon, It was faked in a warehouse in England." How could anyone really believe stuff like this. If you believe like he did, please don't be offended but I don't understand.
