"Other cultures had pirates."

"Explorers!"

```Swedish migration to the United States peaked in the decades after the American Civil War (1861–65). By 1890 the U.S. census reported a Swedish-American population of nearly 800,000. Most immigrants became pioneers, clearing and cultivating the prairie, but some forces pushed the new immigrants towards the cities, particularly Chicago. ```

"That is notable, but I've heard of those that made it all the way to north america before the vikings. Like irish monks in the 700s."

"Weapon burials!"

"Germanic thing that went for hundreds of years prior."

"The sagas?"

"Yeah, okay."

"Yay, sagas!"

I guess that's how it'd go

vikings are cool, but the passion for them gets ridiculous - there really wasn't a lot going on back then because their population was never huge, you know?

like, it's up there with greeks and egyptians when I dunno if it deserves it... it's pop history and capitalism to blame

which is why I think we should have socialism.... JK

*Therefore, the European Union must be destroyed*

*steeples hands*

if sargon wants to help turn scotland into pro brexit
