Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
All week the hard working crafters of AskHistorians have been toiling away, drafting up fantastic history threads for your enjoyment. But there’s a lot to wade through to find them, and the last thing we want is for them to remain unseen. So for your enjoyment we’ve collected all the threads we can below for an easy browsing experience! Don’t forget to show some appreciation to all the great writers, check out the weekly features and more!
Don’t forget the Thursday Reading and Rec.
Drop by the Friday Free for All and say hi!
/u/thewrestlingnord rocked the Saturday Showcase | November 20, 2021
That’s my gig done for another week! The saved folder lies empty and I’m off to do some reading of my own! Keep it classy out there and I’ll see you all again next Sunday!
But don’t forget that Sunday is also a chance to shout out those fascinating questions that haven’t yet been answered! There’s not enough time in the day for our fantastic experts to get to everything, but perhaps this thread will be a second chance for some. Feel free to post your own up, or any others you found particularly interesting. Its been a good week for questions, so we’ve got a good number this week!
/u/Chicano_Ducky asked The Aztecs did not have a prison system, but did have convict labor in the form of temporary indentured servitude of "damaged ones". How exactly was this system carried out?
