Gen Sherman did nothing wrong when he went through the South torching property and feeding his Army. The laws against these types of actions were not put into place until AFTER the Civil War. Why do Southerners still insist he is a war criminal?

After Henry VIII died, his son was king Edward the VIth, then when HE died, the throne should have gone to Queen Mary I, which it did after 9 days.

For those 9 days, though, Mary's cousin was queen, why is she referred in the history books as "Lady"? If there should ever be a queen in her own right named Jane, would she be styled Queen Jane II??

I need historical details for a novel and no animals will be harmed in the process of writing!

Were animal guts actually used for the strings of musical instruments...?

What was the process used to prepare them?

I don't even want my characters to deliberately kill a cat even if it's only fiction, but my editor won't accept it if the scientific details are wrong. Would roadkill work...?

I've read they were also used for tennis rackets. would that really work...? How strong would cat guts be?

Does anybody still do this today?

Details, please, don't just give me links. Thanks to all serious answerers!

I just got a call from the school, seems my son wrote a paper on Columbus and got a big fat red F.

The teacher said my son has no idea who he is.
I asked what my son put and he said he wrote...
He was a Putz head and brought over illness and killed alot of the natives,
he also came back with small pox and killed more natives
as he spoke and told me what the paper said everything my son was true

I tried explaining to the teacher that he was right on all counts and that the paper does not deserve a failing grade
he basicly said TUFF and it was all Wrong

how do i get it into this teachers head THE PAPER IS RIGHT on all counts ????
