##17Then I said to them, 'You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burnt. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer suffer disgrace.' 18I told them that the hand of my God had been gracious upon me, and also the words that the king had spoken to me. Then they said, 'Let us start building!' So they committed themselves to the common good. 19But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they mocked and ridiculed us, saying, 'What is this that you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?' 20Then I replied to them, 'The God of heaven is the one who will give us success, and we his servants are going to start building; but you have no share or claim or historic right in Jerusalem.'##Doesn't this fit exactly to the present times! This is from the New Revised Standard Version. But he calls Geshem an Arab, then in verse 20: You have no share or claim or historic right in Jerusalem.
Your Southern Confederates were Normans, Northerners "Anglo-Saxons" piece is way off base - I have never read so much rubbish. You have come down in my estimation on that one. You are not doing yourself a favour by promoting rubbish as history. It is a pity as some of your stuff is good.

You apparently missed the point of the item.
We were not saying that the
##Southern Confederates were Normans,
Northerners "Anglo-Saxons" ##.
Such claims had once been made more than a century ago and even then they were
not necessarily always taken seriously.
We were quoting from a discussion about such claims in the past on an e-mail
forum that specializes in historical studies.
We thought it was interesting.
Historical identifications can be important because they show how people
identified themselves or wished to.
This can also be worth considering regardless as to whether they were correct or
not.
How people see or saw themselves is of historical interest and at least
partially relevant to our studies.
Pleased with what you read?
Your benefit and wellbeing are goals of ours and worthwhile to us in themselves.
