I mean chance as in random chance or luck edit: okay o I should clarify that I meant religion that would have a heavy focus on chance.

Shay's Rebellion was a local government issue that did not involve the national government and it was easily crushed not by federal troops, but the local government. The effect that it has on the nation is the concerns about "mobocracy" not central government. This is what my A.P. US History teacher says and I somewhat agree.

I have eczema, and I've always wondered what life would have been like for me.

The tradition (Abraham) seems rather unlikely. Thank you.

By Japanese Hunters, I mean people who track down Japanese war criminals like Nazi Hunters do.

We often see a similar accent used in pop culture and media for characters in early America. How can we know or why do we assume this is the way people spoke in Revolutionary America? Furthermore, when did the accent begin to sound like the American accent we hear now-a-days?

I'm referring to those right off the boat right at the very beginning of slavery. I realize violence of some kind was used, but what sort of techniques? Even if you just point me in the direction of a good book on the subject I'd like to know.

By 1520, Tenochtitlan was probably the largest city in Central America, with a population of 200,000 or more. However, I understand that it was located on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco and linked to the mainland by causeways.

How did the Aztecs provide enough food for such a gigantic city? Did they import corn from other states, or have special agricultural techniques? I have read about the chinampas, or floating gardens; were they productive enough to feed the city all by themselves?

I am reading a book called "Montezuma: Aztec Ruler" published by the British Museum Press, and was just curious.

Most people in history class have learned about the Nazi German bombing of London and other British cities during WWII, but was Germany planning an invasion of the British Isles? And do you think it would have worked?

Throughout David Weber's Safehold series, set in the age of sail, he describes naval galleons as commonly scattering sand across the deck as part of the procedure for preparing for combat. This sand provides traction so that the decks do not become slick when the bodily fluids of casualties among the crew are spilled during combat. Much the same way that we sand roads and walkways to provide traction against snow today

My question: was this really a common practice on naval ships during the Age of Sail? Humans each possess about 6 liters of blood, and I know some naval galleons could possess over 400 men, but it still seems somewhat...overly dramatic to believe that casualities among the crew frequently became so heavy in combat that their bodily fluids made the deck slick.

My friend insists that the Sherman was a bad tank, simply for the reason that it was incredibly flammable. He says the British called it the "Zippo" or "Ronson", and the Germans called it the "Tommy Cooker". Is there any truth in what he claims, or is it just a myth?

EDIT: I have asked him and he is refferring to the M4 not the other flamethrower tank.

What sort of careers can one pursue in history and how bad is the job market?

I'm really interested in European history and anthropology and I would love to find a career in it where I can study and hypothesize. Archeology also interests me and I know they go hand in hand. Is this even feasible nowadays? Also how does one get on this career path during university?

Any advice and input is appreciated.

If so, what were the consequences? How did it affect their relations with the USSR?

I know that the Americans were initially opposed to nuclear proliferation within NATO, and were specifically opposed to French attempts at developing an independent deterrent. What was the situation within the nominally independent Warsaw Pact states such as Czechoslovakia (which after all had its own supply of uranium)?
