also notably this usage of prisoners of war as human passports only stayed around for so long becuase the respective navies just refused to send them back across the Atlantic. that’d be too much work. you guys have to deal with them

In elementary school I did a project on George Washington Carver who taught farmers in the American south about crop rotation, encouraging them to grow peanuts among other things. We’ve known about crop rotation forever, but idk learning about Carver always stuck with me. Fascinating guy.
