Man, the French Revolution circle on Tumblr is full of mad drama.

I WAS JUST SITTING HERE GETTING CAUGHT UP

LIKE

NO, NO, YOU GUYS DON’T MIND US AMREVS

THE BIGGEST THING THAT HAPPENS TO US IS A MISATTRIBUTED JEFFERSON QUOTE OR SOMEONE BITCHING ABOUT BURR AND/OR HAMILTON

YOU GUYS JUST DO YOUR THING

WE’LL WATCH

And I’ll take this opportunity to point out how awesome the Founding Fathers loving people are here.

With the exception of political nutcases who only care about history so they can use it for their own ends, most of the Founder and American Rev appreciate all kinds of historical figures. Everyone loves Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, Burr, etc. no matter how much they fought.

Admittedly, though, the French Revolution involved a lot more guillotining, so I suppose that tends to get people…upset.

Still, though.

When people think that the History Peeps don’t know their history

Remember that time I found Thomas Jefferson’s dark-haired reincarnation??

HOLY

publius-esquire:

“Another of André’s admirers who appears to have been similarly afflicted by his tragic end was Alexander Hamilton’s finacée, Betsy Schuyler. Betsy’s father, General Philip Schuyler, had been in command of Fort Ticonderoga when André was brought there as a prisoner in November 1775, en route to Pennsylvania…Betsy appears in particular to have cherished the memory of the handsome young British officer, despite the fact that he had become the head of British intelligence.”

- The Bulletin of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum, Volume 16, Issue 3

“Poor André suffers to-day. Every thing that is amiable in virtue, in fortitude, in delicate sentiment, and accomplished manners, pleads for him; but hard-hearted policy calls for a sacrifice. He must die——. I send you my account of Arnold’s affair; and to justify myself to your sentiments, I must inform you that I urged a compliance with André’s request to be shot; and I do not think it would have had an ill effect; but some people are only sensible to motives of policy, and sometimes, from a narrow disposition, mistake it.

When André’s tale comes to be told, and present resentment is over, the refusing him the privilege of choosing the manner of his death will be branded with too much obstinacy.

It was proposed to me to suggest to him the idea of an exchange for Arnold; but I knew I should have forfeited his esteem by doing it, and therefore declined it. As a man of honor, he could but reject it, and I would not for the world have proposed to him a thing which must have placed me in the unamiable light of supposing him capable of meanness, or of not feeling myself the impropriety of the measure. I confess to you I had the weakness to value the esteem of a dying man, because I reverenced his merit.”

- Alexander Hamilton to Elizabeth Schuyler, October 2, 1780

Though how could you blame them? Everyone was swooning over Major John André.

Sooooooo

It appears that I’m FINALLY getting my pretty little refund check back from my school, which is only important to anyone beyond myself because it means that I should now be able to head up to Philadelphia to see Alicia over my Fall Break.

And, having discussed this with her, I am proposing a Peep Meet-up of some sort.

Nothing is set for me yet (I should be getting my check tomorrow, and following that I need to get approval for the time off from work (hee hee)) but I imagine that Saturday, October 13 or Sunday, October 14 would work best to hang out.  I’m not sure what all we’d being doing because I’ve seen a lot of the history things up there (though tbh I want to see them ALL again), but I’m pretty much up for anything, personally.  I would just love to meet some of the rest of you guys, really, and hang out for awhile and engage in various history derps; I know several of you are stationed in or near the Philly area.  But I also wanted to give you all plenty of notice (about a month; I’m a couple of days late, I realize now) in case anyone who lives a bit further out wanted to try to make it in for whatever day we do this thing, too.

Anyway, just throwing this all out there.

EVERYONE COME MEET LYNN (and me if you haven’t met me) SHE’S THE BEST AND SHE’S REALLY EXCITED TO MEET YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
