Saint Olga is the best saint. She was one of the first people of Rus' to be proclaimed a saint, and she was the first Rus' ruler to convert to Christianity. She ruled Kievan Rus from 945-963 and she would also not hesitate to gently caress your poo poo up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_of_Kiev

quote:

The Drevlians sent twenty of their best men to convince Olga to marry their Prince Mal and give up her rule of Kievan Rus. She had them buried alive. Then she sent word to Prince Mal that she accepted the proposal, but required their most distinguished men to accompany her on the journey in order for her people to accept the offer of marriage. The Drevlians sent their best men who governed their land. Upon their arrival, she offered them a warm welcome and an invitation to clean up after their long journey in a bathhouse. After they entered, she locked the doors and set fire to the building, burning them alive.

With the best and wisest men out of the way, she planned to destroy the remaining Drevlians. She invited them to a funeral feast so she could mourn over her husband's grave, where her servants waited on them. After the Drevlians were drunk, Olga's soldiers killed over 5,000 of them. She returned to Kiev and prepared an army to attack the survivors. The Drevlians begged for mercy and offered to pay for their freedom with honey and furs. She asked for three pigeons and three sparrows from each house, since she did not want to burden the villagers any further after the siege. They were happy to comply with such a reasonable request.

Now Olga gave to each soldier in her army a pigeon or a sparrow, and ordered them to attach by thread to each pigeon and sparrow a piece of sulfur bound with small pieces of cloth. When night fell, Olga bade her soldiers release the pigeons and the sparrows. So the birds flew to their nests, the pigeons to the cotes, and the sparrows under the eaves. The dove-cotes, the coops, the porches, and the haymows were set on fire. There was not a house that was not consumed, and it was impossible to extinguish the flames, because all the houses caught on fire at once. The people fled from the city, and Olga ordered her soldiers to catch them. Thus she took the city and burned it, and captured the elders of the city. Some of the other captives she killed, while some she gave to others as slaves to her followers. The remnant she left to pay tribute.

The arc going through Mississippi to South Carolina, as well as Western Mississippi, is a Cretaceous-era coastline that left the region with soil very favourable to cotton production. So slaveowners would produce cotton there, and the descendants of those slaves continue to live in those areas.

Oh, and the easiest way to debunk the "Party of Lincoln" myth, this is the 1956 (Eisenhower landslide) and 1964 (Johnson landslide, just after the Civil Rights Act passed):

The guy in the first few panels is Gilad Shalit, the IDF soldier that was kidnapped by Hamas and who was released last year. I'm sure you heard about him. The image is basically some (probably) Israeli fuckers saying that killing seven people, including two children is fine because REVENGE FOR GILAD SHALIT
