<span>As someone who spent their life at sea, chances were overwhelming that Christopher Columbus' favorite color is blue. This might not have been his favorite color as a child, but after years at sea where between the ocean and the sky that's all you see is the color blue, his brain would've eventually habituated to the color.</span>
Andrew Jackson was a General in the United States Army
It began in 1939 and ended in 1945.
I have no idea what book or story you are talking about, but based on my knowledge of Law... asking a person the same question over and over and cause a reaction in their fight or flight extinct, the person will start to become worried and they'll either start changing their answer or they'll break down completely. I'm guessing the when Hathorne asked the same question several times to Sarah, she started to get nervous.
I hope this kinda helped
