henry pelham 🤝 john gray

loyalist-leaning residents of my city in the mid-to-late 18th century who i find very compelling but when i try to research anything about them, i have to wade through articles repeating the same information about the boston massacre over and over.

#messages from the ouija board #sadies day job #cant keep johnny down 1771 edition #i should have a weird tag like that for henry also #i dont agree w like. monarchism. or the political leanings of 1770s english parliament. but #theres so many boston tories who were just like. specific sons of liberty suck so bad and i hate them. i want them to stop.#and i get it! i understand how one could look at sam adams and john hancock and be like #i dont want these guys in charge and i cant fucking support them #neither of them were even at the massacre btw. john gray's employees were involved in the original brawls earlier that week #and henry pelham drew the original image that revere engraved thats like. the one in all the textbooks #so theyre each mentioned like once in any given article #squirrel boy
