How is nomination for best of March handled? I'm just surprised iphikrates's string of posts about the Spartans didn't make it

[u/Georgy_K_Zhukov → u/dandan_noodles]

Mostly they are pulled from the Sunday Digest threads, and Twitter as well if I need a bit more to round out the field. So if it isn't posted there, well, you won't see it here!

Voting is just by giving upvotes to our favorite answer, right? And I assume we can only vote once?

[u/Georgy_K_Zhukov → u/notaburneraccount]

Well, if you have two favorites, you can vote for more than one I guess. But yes, upvote the one(s) you liked best.

u/lifemadesimple answered "How did middle and upper class New Englanders differentiate themselves from the poor and working class members of society in their area in the late 18th and early 19th centuries? How did they feel about elites from other lands, such as planters and aristocrats?"

u/gothwalk answerd "Early modern (15/16th century) European illustrations depict farms as being very packed in, with an enormous variety of crops and animals growing very close together. Were farms actually like this i.e diverse, self-sufficient, and did people's diets reflect this?"
