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.
We’re officially into the summer season up here in Canada, and the outside temperature is almost as hot as these history threads we’re serving up in the digest today! Come take a browse and expand those history horizons with yet more fantastic answers.
Don’t forget to show some appreciation to those hard working contributors, question askers, throw some upvotes their way, and check out the usual weekly features!
And the Thursday Reading and rec!
A quieter Friday Free for All this week.
That wraps me up once again, and now I’m off to find some shade and cool down. Have yourselves a fantastic day, keep it classy, and I’ll see you next week!
Don’t miss the chance to also call out some of your favorite questions that remain unanswered! The Digest also gives a spot for those overlooked questions that still hope to see the attentions of an expert. Feel free to post your own, or others you came across!
/u/-Constantinos- asked I’ve heard that knights often jousted so the winner could take things from the loser such as their horse or arms and armour but also their ransom, what is meant by that?
/u/Tatem1961 asked Why did Christopher Okoro Cole only serve as President of Sierra Leone for 1 day?
/u/SaltLifeTrans asked if Black GIs Introduced Koreans to fried chicken?
