World History
I have had difficulty the last two days in accessing Blogger. In fact, I have made two posts which were "eaten" by Blogger and vanished. I have recreated one and republished it. It is the one that deals with punishment in pre-revolutionary America.
I also have had no comment submissions in the last several days. I usually have several a day although due to spamming I usually only approve 10% of suggested comments. If you made a real comment not related to promoting a website in the last few days, please resubmit.
I hope this is fixed soon...

Problems with Blogger?
