I am asking this question not because I have any inherit support for Sulla, but because many of the sources from which I was reading have discrepancies over whether or not he was a good man, and/or a good ruler.

My grandfather was a gunner in the pacific theatre during WWII and then worked on an assembly line after an injury to his inner ear until he was ho arbor discharged. He was often too sick for me to spend time with him, and he died when I was 10. After my grandmother died, I came across this photo book, but have no one to ask (I'm not close to my dad and his family, and if I let them know I had this, they'd want it. If I knew they'd take care of this, I might consider letting them have it, but none of them will). I was wondering if anyone might know anything about the photos or why he would have them. They're obviously not originals, but I've never seen anything like this.

This is a pretty basic question about the details of modern Presidential bill signing. I know Presidents have been using multiple pens to sign bills for many years now, but how does this actually work? Does he really write one letter with each pen? Does he sign the bill multiple times, once with each pen? Does he hold each pen, but only use one to write his signature?

With what I read about World War 2, I come under the impression that the German Air Force was essentially gone by the time 1945 rolled around, to what extent was this true? Were there any German aircraft that participated in the Battle of Berlin and the months leading up to it?

The original Roman sources, and the few commonly available books on the subject, are fairly clear that the Germanic peoples were not town dwellers. They don't seem to have built hill forts or oppida as the Celts/La Tene culture did. What I'm not certain as to is whether the norm was dwelling in agricultural communities (villages) or isolated farmsteads. I've been trying to find an answer to this for months and it's driving me insane, so I'll go ahead and post it here in the hopes that someone can enlighten me.

As the title suggests, the question I am looking at answering is, in your opinion did Sherman's March to the Sea or Savannah Campaign play a pivotal role in ending the Civil War and if so why?

I understand the British were trying to pay for the high costs of the French-Indian War, but why continue to lay out new taxes when the outcome could only end up being negative for them?

As a follow-up, it seems like ventriloquism is no longer as popular as it once was (old shows such as The Twilight Zone often show it as a popular night-club act, for example). Why is this?

This is question asking how people found out about a relative dying during WWII and from what I've seen in movies it shows a soldier turning up at the door to tell the mother or wife. How was this done in the UK? If a ship went down would this be broadcast in a paper or on a newsreel or would this be kept secret in case of spying? I don't think this has been asked before, if so I apologise. Thank you.

I understand that Jefferson changed his position during the Louisiana Purchase (1803), and it was just because he wanted to regain the control of the Mississippi, but when and why did Jackson change his position? Wasn't he very set on his position?

Popular history has brought the atrocities committed against Native Americans living in the East Coast, Great Plains, and American Southwest to light, but has seemed to leave out the plight of the Californian/West Coast Native Americans.
I became interested in this question when I read about "the last Indian" Ishi, and realized that I knew very little about indigenous peoples on the West Coast and what happened to them.
Could anyone offer some insight into the demise of Native Americans on the West Coast?

For whatever odd reason, I've developed a new love of naval fiction and histories. I've been reading a bunch of books and whatnot about it, and am starting to grasp the terminology (I know the masts and which sail is which and the difference between a brig and a frigate). I don't quite get the mechanics though -- the captain seems to use different sails at different times and I'd like a deeper understanding of when you'd use a topsail over a course or royals and so forth.
I kind of get that you don't want to run everything out at once (I'm assuming it would destroy the masts?) but is there any real rhyme or reason behind what sails are used for what and when?
Thanks! Any suggestions in terms of reference materials outside the popular stuff would be appreciated too.

I read that early in the war the British tried daytime bombing but found the casualty rate too high and hence concentrated on less accurate night raids as the war progressed. On the other hand the US was more willing to take losses for "accurate" bombings.
Is this true?

Specifically, what restrictions did the federal government put on voting? Did voting change from under the Articles of Confederation to under the Constitution? What were the property/religious qualifications like? Also, how were delegates elected to the Second Continental Congress? Any other related information would be great as well. I'm not too sure if this is a good question to ask, but I've tried to no avail to find good information on this topic. It's especially hard to get info about the Articles of Confederation. Hopefully you guys can help, and thanks ahead of time!
