Leeds weather forecast for Monday June 13 with chilly start and temperatures rising as high as 18C

Leeds will see temperatures as high as 18C today (Monday) on a day of sunny intervals and cloudy spells – but it might be a chilly start with the temperature as low as 10C. The Met Office is predicting that the temperature will rise during the early afternoon, with a peak of around 18C between 3pm and 4pm. There is only a small chance of rain. Pollen is expected to be high. The general forecast…

Understanding 18th Century

There's a prevailing problem I've noticed in interpreting frev: people not really understanding that this was 18th century. Oh, they understand it on an intellectual level, but they still apply today's worldview to it. And you can't do that if you wish to understand wtf was going on.

(This is not about anyone here nor a shade at anyone in particular. Just a trend I've noticed, especially in bad takes).

All historical periods have this problem where people interpret things from the point of view of our own time. So that's hardly special about frev and 18c. But a tricky part is that 18c saw the development of things that we still use today (constitutions, voting system, etc.) that it may seem like it's more similar to our world than it actually was.

For example. The voting system. They had it and so do we. Except they were assholes who didn't allow women to vote. (Which is fair criticism, but people often forget that not all men had the right to vote either - so any criticism of exclusion should take that into account. Was it really about women per se, or about their ideas on who can and cannot make a free and rational vote? What is that they saw wrong about women and certain men voting? - Their attitude sure sucks, but if we ask these questions we understand better what was going on vs just going "sexist men", which only explains part of the issue). Or: journalism. They had political slander and so do we. But uuugh, their slander was so openly personal and often ridiculed someone's looks/sexual practices in supposedly serious political attacks - wtf was that? Or: trials. Of course we all know how trials are supposed to be done and what kind of arguments/evidence they should include. The fact they focused so much on character slander is incorrect and ridiculous, and...

Stop. Instead of assuming that they "did it incorrectly", think about: 1) how we do these things today is a product of decades/centuries of development; they didn't have that. They were only inventing it for the first time. 2) They did stuff according to their cultural beliefs. If they focused so much on character assassination as an argument, it means it was significant for their worldview.

You might not like it (and fair enough) but it's not possible to understand what was going on unless we understand how they thought and what they knew and what their worldview was. Which is not easy. It's not simply about knowing the state of scientific thought or what they believed about the world. Understanding how this affected the way they thought and how they interpreted things, or how they build meaning and conclusions - none of that is easy. But we have to question our assumptions, even if we're unable to see things from their pov. Because that's the only way not to arrive at wrong conclusions.

Similarly, many terms what they used had a different meaning to how they are used today (or, at least, they were understood in ways dissimilar to how we use them). Concepts such as despotism, tyranny, dictator, terror; also some seemingly easy to understand terms like "being a moderate" or even "patriotism". If we assume 18th century people used them in the same way that we do, we won't be able to understand wtf they are talking about.

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods

[theirmarks]

Sarah Burnee. Hir Mark. 

Nipmuc. Her homelands and homeplace at Hassanamesit, in present-day Grafton, Massachusetts. Sarah was daughter of Sarah Muckamaug and Fortune Burnee (Nipmuc and Black, respectively), and granddaughter of Peter Muckamaug.

In this quitclaim document, Sarah’s brother, Joseph Aaron, is deeding to her, for the sum “one hundred and twenty pounds of lawful money,” a portion of land at Hassanamesit. 

The Muckamaug family was subject to much surveillance by the colonial government of Massachusetts, related specifically to Muckamaug land as Hassanamesit. Information, written by Sophia Ramos (Nipmuc) in the catalog record for the collection that this document comes from, states that “Sarah Muckamug[‘s].... union with an enslaved man called Aaron Whipple would create a decades-long investigation into her relationship in order to contest two of her children's - Sarah Burnee, who was born from...Fortune Burnee; and Joseph Aaron, who was the son of Aaron Whipple and born out of wedlock - claims to her inheritance.” We can read “inheritance” here to mean land, desired by the State. 

Signed June 4, 1771.

Seen at the American Antiquarian Society.
