+
{{#dpl:category=Booklists|ordermethod=firstedit|order=descending|count=15}}

The ability to consider themselves Irish immigrants vanished when they donned a blue or gray uniform.

{{#dpl:category= United States History |ordermethod=firstedit|order=descending|count=8}}

+
<div class="portal" style="font-size:90%">

However, we rarely see multiculturalism celebrated until much later in historical periods when large states became the norm.
