A while ago, I read Miranda Twiss' book on the most evil men and women in history. Not surprisingly, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, and Idi Amin made the list (so where the heck was Mao?). So did Ilse Koch and Elizabeth Bathory.

What surprised me was that Gregory Rasputin made the list. After reading about the Romanovs and majoring in history in college, I am stumped that anyone would consider him evil enough to stand among the ranks of nasty dictators and bloodthirsty femme fatales.

Sure, he was evil and creepy but as to why he would be considered one of the most evil people in history has me scratching my head in confusion. I normally thought of him as some crazy bum that thought he was some sort of prophet. I guess the act of bringing down the 300-year-old house of Romanov would be considered evil (would the royal house fall regardless of whether or not Rasputin came in the picture?).

Fellow history majors, buffs, historians, etc., please enlighten me on this.

I have an in-class essay soon and I have had trouble really understanding the prompt...

"By the 1950s the Consititution, originally framed as an instument of national unity, had become a source of national discord and eventually contributed to the failure of the union it created. Assess the validity of this statement."
Basically, was it the Constitution that caused the Civil War?

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it!

I went to talk to him and basically he said... Although the Consititution allowed for compromise, temorarily settling disputes, the main issue trying to be resolved, slavery, was originally in the Constitution and therefore caused "discord" among the nation.

I understand that slavery was a huge cause, and that it was in the Constitution, but why did it cause discord.

World War I flying ace Billy Bishop was credited with 72 victories, the highest number for a British Empire pilot. His parents had enrolled him, as a 17 year-old youth, in the Royal Military College rather than the University of Toronto. But interest in military matters was not the reason for choosing college over university. What was the real reason?
