Somehting like that, in the early 1850's he worked at Meucci's candle stick factory, in Staten Island.
It was indeed a weird turn in his career, because he was already a famous general in both South America and Italy, but from what I've read of his memories, he regards it as the most normal thing.

A small detail I like about that story is that among the reasons Garibaldi considered joining the union's army was that he wrongly believed that had become a US citizen when he lived in New York.

Not a very sophisticated solution, but maybe just graphing the 'live' rating at the end of each chapter or book (or however you call the parts the illiad is divided in, I don't know the word in English). That way one could easily see where each hero ranked at the time of his death.

Enhorabuena Tarek!!
Congratulations! I truly enjoyed the reading. I do hope that the final plea for further research gets followed up, it looks like lots of interesting things may come out of this.

Absolutely, I am ready even to buy some story closer to the original claim. Maybe Democrats are actively doing something that creates that perception, I just need to see some evidence to support that claim. And them some more showing that this supposed halo of wokness is bad at the ballotbox.

It is amazing how often "bad things are the fault of the left for being too woke" is presented as a default truth, with out need for any logical or empirical support.

Of course, the good bigot knows how to use any small and apparently neutral cognitive bias such this in order to build his castle of biggotry.

Done it! It is impossible to do it without developing hypotheses. My siblings and I have a whole set of theories for the interaction between gender, cat-dog feelings, and self reported cookie eating capacity.
