1066 is absolutely Pavlov for William the Conqueror.
This should have been an instaget for me, but somehow had the same logic as you. But about 15 seconds into the music, it finally clicked that John Brown was an abolitionist, and I quickly refocused to the Civil War and got Lee.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 8:04 pmI think I got Harpers Ferry and Valley Forge mixed up somehow. "John Brown" should have steered me to Civil War, but I doubt it would have been enough for me.True North wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 7:59 pm Sometimes the obvious FJ answer is the best, and that was the case today.
If you know 2 names from the losers of the American Civil War, it's the losing general Robert E. Lee and the losing President Jefferson Davis. (Incidentally, the namesake of JD Hogg from the Dukes of Hazzard).
