Hi everypony!!!
![Big Grin :biggrin:](https://mlparena.com/Smileys/default/lol.gif)
I'm writing a book and need these questions answered.
1st of all! Are there any Shinsengumi fans out there!?
[I don't really have a side. I'm an American. I just like the Shinsengumi because I absolutely love saito hajime from rurouni kenshin (member of the Shinsengumi in real life) so I had to love Shinsengumi and all of japan.]

1st question: why was the Shinsengumi/Mibu Roshi
Special Police formed?
"After Japan opened up to the West following U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry's visits in 1853, its political situation gradually became more and more chaotic. The country was divided along various lines of political opinion; one of these schools of thought (which had existed prior to Perry's arrival) was sonnō jōi: "Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians.""
that is as close to the answer I can get. in plain English what does this mean?
Barbarians as in international people?
2nd question did Hijikata Toshizo learn to make medication because his family made meds? I know Hijikata was a medicine peddler but what does that mean?
If these questions are answered I will be doing great.
I don't want to offend any Shinsengumi Fans...
