I know nothing about English history. I guess you have to be a minority to have your history taught.

This is what I know.. I know that we belonged originally to England. And thus The American Revolution. I know about the first colonys here ( which always gives me goose bumps. I love to visit James Town The first English colony in Virginia. I may be wrong but I think that the Scottish loathe the English. ( learned that from a scottish roomate I had years ago.I know about the English king who broke away from the church to start a new religion so that he could divorce his wife from Spain. Methodist??? Learned that in the movie Anne of One Thousand Days. I know that we have always felt connected to each other... Id like to learn more.....

may i suggest some superb books instead of hollywood versions of history....david starkey's "six wives, the queens of Henry Vlll", alison plowden "Elizabeth l", clayton and craig, "Trafalgar", tomalin "Samuel Pepys". and there are so many more. the internet is an excellent source as well....(and Weeder, Henry Vlll broke with rome to obtain divorce, and created Church of England. he subsequently sacked the monasteries, and his daughter Mary (bloody mary) burned a whole lot of protestants at tyburn.)

Patrica Cornwell's Jack the Ripper... She doesn't just write fiction although Jack the Ripper will always be a mystery.
