No it's not, but I will say that Ireland was among the countries where they fled to!

I honestly don't know the answer you're looking for, especially since these are my people.

I've been raised as a protestant (lutherian because from a german branch) and as such I have trouble understanding why Greengoop didn't get the point.

As for the symbol you've put up, it's a Croix Huguenotte (Hugunenot cross), so maybe the Huguenots is the word you were after. But that cross is a symbol for all protestant, not only those persecuted by King Louis XIV after he revoked the Edit de Nantes.

The Huguenots was my thoughts as well! But I decided I wouldn’t risk breaking the rules since I don’t really need to host it twice in a row

Correct! If you mean that you're a descendent of the Huguenots, then I'll add that they're my ancestors as well.

Question 18: In the US state of Louisiana they speak a French dialect called Cajun French (I like this accent a lot tbh). The state is also known for a festival that is held there, especially in New Orleans, where they used to prepare for the Christian fasting season of Lent. What is this festival called?

Question 19: Tomorrow we will witness the 60th US presidential election, this time between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Trump's most popular slogan "Make America Great Again" or "MAGA", is as unoriginal as it is controversial. Please tell me the name of the US presidential candidate that used this slogan before while campaigning.

Question 20: The city of Los Angeles hides certain things in plain sight, as to not make certain government-sanctioned activities obvious to ordinary citizens. What is going on with this building/inside this building?

I can post more pics of such buildings as a hint if you'd like.
