http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/digs-washington-200809.htmlMaybe this will convince you. 🙂Seems there is documentation from soldiers camped at the site at Fredericksburg, during Revolutionary War.
Zues, I realize that my reply comes too late for your class discussion but it may be useful for future reference. 🙂
You will also see a paralell in the misadventures of Leopold and Loeb. Two young, rich and highly intelligent, yet grievously misguided young men.The September issue of Smithsonian Magazine Online has an excellent article on the subject.

I agree here, I wanted to point out that Milias would not have depicted Joseph in red if he sought to represent a Jew through symbolic iconography(blood, Jews and red don't feature together in lit.). I think it is as you say, sometimes a red tunic is just a red tunic, it added brightness to the scene or Milias uses color in a way that is symbolic to the Anglo Saxons.
http://homepage.interaccess.com/~netpol/POLISH/historia/HodowlaNiewolnikow.htmlI find this relevant to the discussion here, the original post is not out of the realm of possiblity.Please read this speech given by Willie Lynch in Virginia. This is a complex, well developed method for breaking the mind and will of a slave, ultimately creating a male with bodily strength and weakness of mind.
I had to refresh my memory and I am still unable to say difinitively but “12 Monkeys” is my vote because it was directed by Terry Gulliam. This link includes film clips on the subject.http://www.toptenz.net/top-ten-time-travel-movies.php
Thanks for the welcome 🙂I know that I read somewhere on these boards, that one should tell a bit about course of study.I am an amatuer historian, I have always loved history but am instead pursuing an Associate D. in science. My hope is to become successful as an author of historical fiction, my work is now about special ed. kids.I must say it was a delight to find this forum, I am trying to read all postings because I don't want to miss anything!

I was very curious since I had never seen the painting before, so thank you because I enjoyed seeing it. ;DThe veil is defining a " ghost role" in a complex society, not overly stated but it represents the feelings of a community. Mary is under male protection, she is valued although she does not hold a dominant position in society, she does in the household.The color red, I have to wonder, if it is Sir John Everett's sense of the symbolism we need to look at?Romans at the time of Christ would have associated red with love and fertility, brides were traditionally wrapped in a red/orange veil "the flammeum". I have no reason to think that a Hebrew carpenter would be wearing red, even though the family may have been more than simple folk, I cannot see a context for a Jew to wear red. Please correct me. In the time of Anglo Saxons, red protects against evil , trees, warriors, weapons and animals were painted red to endow them with magical properties.This is gleaned from "Encyclopedia of Signs & Symbols" by Mark O' Connel and Raje Airey

His parents are aware of his abilities, this is where Jesus famously instructs the High Priests on scrpture
I see this as a natural progression in thinking and going from a world of empires and hegemony, to condemnation of nations ruling through force.These times may provide the leveler, for overreaching. Do socialist ideas threaten the USA? They do if you credit the constitution, articles of conf., with the success of the nation.I think of E.L. Doctorow and "Billy Bathgate" the entire novel is fixated on societal ills forcing good people to make bad choices and the goodness is greatly rewarded to the innocent. It's Dickens in NYC, of course the conditions do/did exsist, poverty, sickness and crime, the causes are speculative except in all out war.Says I
