Hello! So this account used to be @cabbagefarmer1776 but it is a sideblog so i have decided to make a primary blog under the same name and continue there! Hope to see you there!
your ol’ granny winny has fallen behind with the times
so when i started this blog back in the day, the history fandom was miniscule and comprised mostly up of people who had seen 1776 or the john adams hbo series a couple years back. blogs fully dedicated to history were in short supply, etc etc. within a few months of making this blog the hamilton fandom blew up, which allowed me to gain popularity (nice)
since then, however, a lot of the people i was mutuals with have either changed their blog theme or deactivated, so my dash is in need of new content.
Storytime! There was once a creative genius named @firlachiel who theorized that George Washington totally told bad dad jokes. The TURN fandom agreed with her, and all prospered. One day, these jokes found their way into Ian Kahn’s hands, and @ms1776 suggested that the General himself should read some of them. The result was every bit as magical as you might imagine.
george washington: had so many deadly diseases that no one knows how he survived to presidency. p sure it made him infertile. also basically caused the french and indian war by accident
thomas jefferson: was so obsessed with ruining aaron burr that he oversaw every part of his treason trial. made someone run back and forth between the courthouse and his home to keep him updated. is #inconsistent in his political ideas
james madison: dropped out of college bc of anxiety and lied about it, telling everyone he’d been studying independently. tried to save the south from total agricultural dominance but was stopped by hi bff Jeffyson who was hot for farmers
john adams: shocked everyone by doing the right thing and volunteered to be the lawyer for the soldiers in the boston masacre trial. when his wife wrote him a letter suggesting women may have rights in the new america, responded “that’s adorable” and probably told his friends
alexander hamilton: published letters under a pseudonym calling burr a ‘cataline’, a reference which implies mass murder, political conspiracy, and incestuous rape, because burr had taken his step-father’s senate seat #nochill
hercules mulligan: was somehow an effective spy despite being a very well known rebel (in every fucking comittee and member of sons of liberty) bc everyone loved his clothes SO much that they were willing to risk it. saved george washington from 2 assassinations mostly by accident.
aaron burr: major speculation about if he wore silk when he dueled with hamilton bc they thought it could deflect bullets. everyone though he had a haram and warned he’d steal your virgins and pretty boys
benedict arnold: betrayed his country bc sempai didn’t notice him; was constaly ignored for his victories, got lots of texts from washington of ‘who dis?’, and was probably mistaken for benjiman talmidge frequently.
baron von steubon: was too gay for europe. had a legit haram of pretty boys approved by president washington for his service in the war. is the reason one of adams’ sons ran across harvard yard naked.
nathan hale: worst spy ever who no one should have let outside. they say he was hanged bc he was a spy, but i’m pretty sure they were angry his last words were such a sick burn
ethan allan: not always furniture. came to fight and had the fucking BEST time, may not have even known what the war was about when he joined
paul revere: sybil ludington road twice as long, through the rain, and over rough terrain to tell the local militia british troops were coming. went on with her life knowing she was better than everyone else
abigail adams: is the reason vaccines happened in the US which, coincidentally, is the only thing that kept the american troops from dying outright. salty as fuck and would have been a better president than her husband
