This gotta be hands down the most dangerous version of George Washington.

Finally telling my truth

I think John Adams was autistic.

He was described as “obnoxious and disliked”. He would always tell his opinion on something, even if it would only lead to bad things for him. He was outrageously honest, that cannot be denied. He had strong principles and was very stubborn about subjects that greatly mattered to him, such as the US declaring independence. He wouldn’t understand why people like Franklin engaged with others that didn’t share his opinion and why he wasn’t as straightforward as him [Adams]. I’m not sure if this is historically accurate but in HBO/Max mini series he asked Abigail to check his writings, I presume because he didn’t want to come across wrongly. And his principles he wouldn’t break, he really did defend those soldiers even though he absolutely was in favour of the revolution because he believed it was only fair. Also he had a persistent routine! Please I’m not crazy.

Is this self projection? Oh definitely. But I think I’m allowed to be parasocial with whatever dead white guy as I please. (Also if you have any other reasons please share ^^)

A German Declaration

Today, I stumbled upon an article from Gettysburg College about a broadside version of the Declaration of Independence, which the school owns one of two copies still remaining. I was very interested to see what this broadside would look like, when it was printed (and how that might affect the translation), and if Charles Thomson would still be included.

And look what I found!

Charles Thomson's printed signature at the bottom of the broadside. Translation: "Certified, Charles Thomson, Secretary"

I found it very interesting how they they even translated Thomson's first name, which, since it's a proper noun, I wouldn't have expected.

Additionally, the whole declaration is written in Fraktur, the font style you can see in the image above. Fraktur became a very common type-face for German publications by the 16th-century and remained common until the 20th-century which explains its usage in the Declaration.

Moreover, from what I've been able to deduce, this printed version is not a word-for-word translation of the original Declaration (fluent German-speaking people can probable speak more on this). I found this interesting because it feels like the meaning behind the words was more important for the translation than the individual words.

I am also not positive on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some Pennsylvania Dutch influence on the document as well (once again, the German-speaking people would definitely have more to say on this than myself).

And if you find this interesting, I have some good news for you! Gettysburg College is lending the Declaration to the Museum of the American Revolution for the 250th where it will be on exhibit, which is very exciting. For non-American fellows, the other copy is held by the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin, where it was just recently displayed in their "What is Enlightenment?" exhibit.

Fun fact: jefferson was 12-14 years older than hamilton. The generational gap was exaggerated by the fact that jefferson was also 8 inches taller than him. Imagine getting roasted by a tiny gen alpha kid in court
