have decided to harm myself and others this weekend by reading lauren groffs latest (derogatory)

Gets slotted into a course on Colonial/Early US History.

Reading the course materials…

“What do you MEAN the pilgrims were the first colonists, wanted religious tolerance, and separation of church and state?”

“Are you seriously going to skip over the Seven (Nine) Years War???”

“So we’re just going to treat the indigenous peoples and the British like giant monoliths now, are we?”

Look, I get it’s for 8th graders, but parts of this are straight up historical revisionism.

Anthony Johnson - The United States first slave owner?

Born in Angola in 1600, Johnson was captured and sold into a type of slavery known as indentured servitude in the British colony of Virginia by Portuguese slave traders. He was eventually able to purchase his own freedom after seven years of toil at a white owned plantation but not before surviving the Jamestown Massacre of 1622.

Johnson went on to become a successful tobacco farmer and landowner. He was also the first person within the American colonies to own a slave as recognized by the Virginia courts

I'm not saying that the US' "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" attitude started because of false advertising by the London Company and John Smith, but also it definitely started because of false advertising by the London Company and John Smith.

On this day, March 22, 1622 the American Indian (Powhatan) massacre of Europeans in Jamestown Virginia took place. 347 men, women and children were killed. Nearly a quarter of the entire English population in Virginia. 

This well-planned, coordinated attack, which the English called a "great massacre," had a lasting impact on the direction of English-Indian relations in colonial America.

First Africans in Virginia. August 20, 1619.

On this day in history, twenty Africans, kidnapped by the Portuguese in Angola, make landfall in the British colony of Virginia and are subsequently purchased by the English colonists. The appearance of enslaved Africans in the New World marks the beginning of 250 years of slavery in North America.

☕ overplayed periods in histfic/some you'd like to see more

i dont know if any periods are overplayed per se as i strongly believe there are still a million fascinating and strange stories to be dug up in any given period (which i am barely even just saying bc i am currently writing a lot abt The Wars Comma World) except the regency which on one hand is overdone but on the other hand 98% of things set in “the regency” are set in a place laundered through so many cycles of adaptation it no longer has any connection to the actual historical and cultural context and is at this point assembled from tropes viewed through a funhouse mirror. low hanging fruit.

ANYWAY id personally like to read more histfic set in 17th/early 18th century america. i think its a really juicy and strange period and i can only think of a couple books set then off the top of my head but they’re books i love (a mercy by toni morrison and golden hill by francis spufford). additional recs appreciated

[skelkankaos]

anyways. this game is underrated so much. I am not asking you to play it (but do) but at least listen to the very good credits music

The Puritans considered being a workaholic a form of sinful pride and greed actually. They believed overwork was essentially a moral failing especially from the part of any boss who was demanding it. Working more than you needed to voluntarily was considered forgoing your duty to God and family, and a boss who expected it of a worker was similarly considered impeding proper worship & family life.

If you're going to pick a historic Christian denomination to be about pride in overwork, you'd wanna talk about maybe continental Calvinists and industrial revolution Lutherans: key ideological forebears of such behavior in modern American (and I do mean both continents here) conservative Protestantism.

it's good that we're saying "i don't feel guilty about pleasure im not Catholic" but we also need to start saying "i don't feel self-righteous about being overworked I'm not Puritan"
