Dear Fletch, Dinnae be so lazy and go open the individual subs for the history forum. What's the issue tb? There's way too many subjects which are incompatible to each other. And you will also find that some people who are interested in American Civil War history have no interest in Waterloo, for example. That's before we at looking at the Roman Empire, the Industrial Revolution et al. Open it out a wee bit and let me fill the topics up - |

History is not all about wars; you guessed, I studied social history.

^^^ would that be kwackers or Quakers, thought we had expelled them to The Colonies.
Please be aware, this is a Duck free forum.

Or maybe a gin and tonic.
Now that is cryptic!

All rather reminisce of the other place and the marx brothers to name but two examples of ''modern history.''

History was one of my favourite subjects at school, loved art history and loved history about authors/artists and how they fitted in with the events of the time they lived in. Many of them reflected the mood of the era. Always fascinated me and in a way they shaped many things.

The Quackers did form a colony in America; William Penn was an early convert of George Fox and a leading English Quacker. He founded the utopian colony of Pennsylvania.
The Quackers were a force behind the Industrial Revolution, Cadbury"s Bourneville village was the first garden town and his factory a place where the workers were treated fairly, given good homes and working conditions.
No alcohol was permitted and still is not on the Bourneville estate, not even in Tesco.
Another leading Quacker was Joseph Gurney a banker. Quakers provided much of the finance for new enterprises, as they were trusted as honest lenders.
Interesting group, feel free to research.
Their beliefs are akin to Buddhism,but with a deity who created all men equal with no hierarchical structure ( no not Thai "Buddhism").
Attending one of there meetings is quite an experience. Circular seating, no leader, just sitting in silent meditation. If the spirit is moved, someone will speak. Not a debate of any sort, an expression of divine love. No one is expected to participate and anyone is free to attend.
My little input.
My head master was a Quacker and his family daughter and son, close school friends of mine. Very open minded, of course pacifist and a desire for inner knowledge.
I shifted to Buddhism, but have the greatest respect for Quackers.

My interest is always human, and the human experience. That fascinates me . |

I may well be wrong, however I feel you are confusing Quakers with Quackers.  . Dont worry, my mrs like me has the same ploblem, here/hear, near/beer, their/ there, thankfully Thai doesnt suffer from this malaise. I appreciate your mind moves on a different level to mine, . |
