What was Jefferson Davis' favorite drink?

Davis' favorite meal was a bisque of corn and crab meat with a hint of spice. It was supposedly told from slave to slave to finally son and grandson for generations. As far as I know, living near Beauvoir and having the same meal served to me with a rousing story about Davis partaking in this particular meal they referred to as his "favorite". As for the drink part? All I know is that he liked alcohol a little too much in West Point.


Did the Romans participate in the government?

Just about every male citizen could participate if he wanted to. Officials were elected by the Plebeian assemblies and the Ward assemblies. However to actually be elected a man had to create a public image, usually by public works, putting on public entertainment when it was allowed, or by making rousing speeches in the forum. In all cases the costs of keeping yourself in the public eye was huge, and the higher the office a man aspired to, the higher the costs.

What is odd about Robespierre's role in the reign of terror?

Everything. Robespierre was an immensely popular orator, but though his speeches were fine rabble-rousing stuff, his delivery was quiet and hesitant. Robespierre was credited with the leadership of the Committe of Public Safety, but he was not the leader and his ideas were seldom adopted by the Committee. Robespierre was credited with military victories, but his military experience was nil and his strategic ideas simply pathetic. The real leader of the Committee was Carnot, who also happened to be a soldier of genius. Robespierre, in fact, was just the front man, and Carnot used his popularity to forward his own policy of conscription and terror.
