also, is there anything wrong with the grammar of my title?</p>
<p>I agree, Taggart... the Gilded Age is very interesting. I also enjoyed learning about the (roaring!!!) twenties.</p>
<p>My least favorite period is colonial America... blehhh.
(I don't mean pre-Revolutionary War America, although America WAS made up of colonies then... I mean, the settling of Virginia by joint stock companies and Lord Baltimore- if that was even his name- creating Maryland as a haven for Catholics... or something like that).</p>
<p>There was a point when I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt... I even tried to learn hieroglyphics (I was like 8-10 yr lol), and then there was a deep interest in the holocaust, and more recently in the women's movement.</p>

<li>Opening of isolated Tokugawa shogunate-Japan in 1850s</li>
<li>Anglo-Saxon period in England</li>
<li>Inception of human species 100,000 BC and back</li>
<li>Collapse of the Roman Empire</li>
</ol>
<p>The pre-Revolutionary War period. I can never imagine people being so informed and concerned with individual rights and liberties. In other words, not taking them for granted.</p>
<p>You could've said are/have you been instead of are you/have you, but there's nothing wrong.</p>
