Oh, I understand. I'd just like to say umm... if you're looking for any real history in my fic it might be hard to find. Most of my information is from civil war movies (like The Patriot, or Glory) and Wikipedia. Also, by merit of being part of the Harlequin genre, it is gonna end up with a happy ending that is completely unrealistic. I know what your getting at though, with the depressing facts of history- I also try to avoid such things. It's just too sad to think about for long periods of time.

Also, I think the official description of Fruit Vs. Vegetable is based on whether or not you eat it with dinner. That's the legal definition at least. At some point people needed to know the difference for tariff purposes with imports and exports. When it comes down to the biological part of it I have no idea.

I thought squashes had their own category? That's why I didn't list pumpkins- I'm saving squashes for a later poll...

Props for being a history geek!
