My ultimate favorite art & architecture would have to be Graeco-Roman. The art that I appreciate the most is the kind which glorifies the human body, and the Greeks and Romans were masters of that. I've often fantasized about Grecian or Roman immigrant families reaching Kofun Japan and spreading marble columns and Graeco-Roman deities there.

*shakes head* My poor modernist friend. Gothic is true culture *twists tip of mustache* (also Romanesque/Byzantine is pretty cool).

Tbf, it would be pretty entertaining to see how Japanese animists could take on Greco-Roman deities. I mean, they seemed to take on Chinese and Indian gods and culture heroes just fine, and there's the small but not nonexistent possibility that Uzume's the Japanese gloss of the prehistorical proto-Indo-European dawn goddess... but imagine... imagine Zeus in Japan.

Prove it.

Actually it's disputed.

Are you defending these slave-owners or are you just trying to explain history?

It is in Foote's history of the civil war.


I doubt castration of slaves would make sense when importing them was ilkegal. Slaves were very expensive and the expectation that they would reproduce was part of that.

I don't think all American slave owners were bad. Therefore reparation for slavery per se would be wrong. Those who were wicked would not be hard to distinguish, as their cruelty would be affirmed by the majority of their slaves in court.
