During the First World War (1914-1918), the warfighters developed a condition called "shell shock" (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), which is the result of prolonged exposure to combat. These veterans tend to "relive" the conflict, and are triggered by the slightest of provocation due to unprocessed trauma. Incidentally, pre-industrial societies like the early Greeks, and some Native American tribes hosted "purification" or "intensification" rituals for its warriors before they rejoined their families at the end of conflict.
The Native American Residential Schools, were boarding schools that were run by religious institutions with the support of the Federal government, designed to assimilate indigenous children into mainstream American culture by providing a basic Western education. The critics of these schools point out there were issues of sexual, manual, physical and mental abuse, occurring mostly in church-run schools. The schools were used "to beat the Indian" or "savage" out of the child.
The reason that cattlemen are leery of sheep is the concern that this livestock in particular are voracious herbivores, as in they will tear into the grasslands all the way down to root, leaving very little for others to consume.
The reason why the Scots and the Irish chose to specialize in certain types of livestock has to do with the terrain of their homeland. Ireland consists of a mostly flat low-lying area in the midlands, ringed by mountain ranges, perfect for raising cattle. While Scotland has a harsh climate with hilly and mountainous land on the extremes of the region, with a strip of valley in the middle called the Lowlands, ideal country for sheep.
A coffin ship (Irish: long cónra) was any of the ships that carried Irish immigrants escaping the Great Irish Famine, or the Great Hunger of 1845, and Highlanders displaced by the Highland Clearances (occurred between 1750-1860 where large landowners drove out smaller farmers to enclose or fence in more land under their control). Many died on the journey to a better life in the United States or Canada.
