Were the rules different for blacks or asians than Jews?

Would someone who is 1/4 or 1/8 black, Asian or Jew be considered Aryan? Where was the line and what were the consequences?

According to Otto Rayburn and John Campbell, "granny women" were folk healers in the Appalachians and Ozarks in the late 19th/early 20th century. I see them turn up in popular media as older white women in poor communities with big herb gardens and a strong undertone of rural folk magic who were respected healers and midwives. I can't find many sources on them, though, and the ones I can find are pretty old or dodgy. Do we have strong evidence these women existed outside folklore? And if so, why did they supposedly fade out around the 30s-40s?

Why the big warnings on mattresses and pillows about removing the tags?

When we hear about older fashion, it often seems like hats were part of women's and (even more especially) men's fashion: tophats, tricorner hats, etc. These days, they're worn but not part of formal attire and relatively rarely part of everyday attire--usually only in very informal settings. Why is that? When did the change happen? What factors influenced the change?

Had one of the atomic bombs failed to detonate and landed in their target city intact, did the United States have a plan in place to recover the nuclear weapon?

How would history have changed if Japan had received a largely intact nuclear weapon?

I would like to classify "draft dodger" as anyone who, while eligible for the draft, was not drafted due to any reason other than actively choosing to join the US Army, Navy, Air Force or Marine Corps.

The "point" I'm looking for can be an individual day or meeting (i.e. if a current or former president who dodged the draft entertained guests who did the same) or it can refer more broadly to an administration including an unusually high number of draft dodgers.

We all know about the trenches of WWI. But I only recently knew that during the Sieges of Petersburg and Vicksburg, there was a lot of trench warfare involved there, as well. My question here is whether or not the trenches of the American Civil War would become inspiration for the trenches of WWI a few decades down the road.

I was reading S.P.Q.R today and there was a brief mention of the Social War from 91-88 B.C.

I understand the Romans sieged many cities, killed a large number of people, and also conducted a Triumph once they achieved victory. did the loss of life and humiliation of the rebelling Tribes create a l long term rift between the Romans and Italians?

I asked this question a few days ago but didn't get any answers.

In this situation as a smuggler, what are the possible ways in which I could get caught? What would happen if I got caught?

There was serfdom, but were serfs ever bought and sold?

I also remember reading somewhere that "a long time ago" some raiding peoples would steal blond haired women from villages around modern Karelia and Finland, and sell them to slavery around Crimea. Is there any truth to this?
