The votes are in, and the clear winner by a landslide is /u/anthropology_nerd's answer regarding "How were Native Americans regarded outside of the United States? Did they conduct formal diplomacy?", which topped both the flair and general vote by a fair margin.
Edging out a strongly contested field for the second award is /u/DavidAOP, for his answer to "Has there ever in history been a "pirate town" like you see in games and movies and stuff?"
As you can see, they get to wear a fancy little star for the next month!
Thank you to everyone who voted, and of course a congratulations to our winners!
The star is so pretty.
I'm continually grateful for the opportunity to discuss, and read, great history in this community. Thank you all for intriguing questions, engaging answers, and for making this a rich, welcoming place to learn.
Hey look - a star thing next to my name. Thank you all for the award - and all for talking about pirate stuff.
This is how the Holocaust started, you know.
Congrats to the winners! I really enjoyed reading both posts. Well done and thanks for your contributions.
any chance this could be a 2-3 day affair next time? I appear to have missed the whole process though i heartily endorse the outcome
