Here's a fun little thing i found: Federal census of the year 1870 of Ross County, Ohio. Enumerator broke protocol to note of James Madison Hemings (mixed race son of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings), the quoted note reads: "This man is the son of Thomas Jefferson!" I adore little pieces of history like this. Like, this isn't even necessary to put down in a census. Why is this in a census? Other than that, this was a pretty cool find.

in almost every textbook i read, they make benjamin franklin out as the weird older uncle who sleeps with younger women and i think. yeah...thats franklin.

i find james monroe a strange fella. he almost always appears in anything that includes both jefferson and madison, as if he was the third wheel in their friendship. i find him almost always clinging to the duo to be appeared of anything at all. he's such a silly guy.

Hello! You can call me Angelo:) I'm 18 and about to head into university to study a bachelor of arts major in history! This is my side blog that I'm hoping to start as an archive for my autism rambles (history++)! I cover mostly early American politics + some other eras/areas. I do not condone the historical figures' actions. They are real people whom have walked this earth. I simply find them extremely fascinating. Here are the historical figures I will mostly post about. Bold are special interests. - Alexander Hamilton - Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (tag will be shorted to Lafayette) - John Laurens & family - John André - George & Martha Washington - Thomas & Martha Jefferson - James & Dolley Madison - James Monroe - Nathan Hale - Benjamin Tallmadge - Napoleon II

fingers crossed that I finally figured out how tumblr markdown works after several years. anyways! love you guys, hopefully i can post my rambles and you guys will like them! edit: nvm tumblr markdown hates me fr
