George Washington's home was Mt. Vernon.
Jefferson Davis- President of the Confederacy
Cardinal Richelieu- Powerful French priest. Wielded a lot of power in the late 1700's
John Locke- British philosopher
Thomas Hobbes - also a British philosopher
Either Locke or Hobbes had theories on the economy?
Robert E. Lee - general in the Confederate army
I can't believe the name of Jefferson's home escapes me!!!!!

Yes to everything. Locke's philosophy was all men have the right to life, liberty, and property (Jefferson stole it from him and changed it). Hobbes' philosophy was that life is "nasty, brutish, and short."
Jefferson's home's name will sound very familiar to NY frum Jews...

Someone mentioned Rasputin earlier.
Just a correction. He was a spiritual "faith healer" who claimed to heal the last tzarevitch.
He had the whole royal family under his sway and controlled some very bad WWI decisions.
He was assassinated by family of the Tzar.
Now what was the tzarevitch suffering from? Where did he get it? Who else had it?

Correct it was hemophilia.
It was not the Romanovs.
Where was it from? What speculation did it cause? Who else is affected?

It came from royalty marrying royalty. The tzarina was the daughter of queen victoria of England. She carried the gene.

Bletchley Park is a country estate in England where most of the code breaking in WW2 was done. That was where the Enigma code was cracked. I believe it was also known as Station X
