Happy birthday Alec ❤️ I’m sticking to the belief that it’s your 265th. See you at church later today
So @iafayettes and I have been discussing the works of David A. Clary this morning, and my god does that man take a dump on everything concerning Hamilton. At the end of the lovely passage about the friendship of Hamilton Laurens, and Lafayette, Clary immediately takes a “no-homo” turn and tries to erase the meaning behind the “gushing letters” by saying “that’s just how they talked back then”. This is pretty bad in itself but unfortunately not that unusual. But then he goes and completely exaggerates Hamilton’s entire personality. More or less accusing him of being selfish, uncaring and 100% pro slavery. “What Americans did to Africans did not concern this young fellow, who had grown up in the West Indies, where slavery was at its worst.” Clary does mention the letters between Hamilton and Laurens concerning the dream of a Southern black battalion but brushes Hamilton’s helping hand in the matter off, by saying that Hamilton’s only goal was to gain more, already obedient soldiers. Having read many of these letters Finn and I agreed upon that while this might be one intention, it’s definitely not the whole truth. Hamilton seems to share Laurens conviction and is very supportive of it. There is nothing in those letters that suggest otherwise, and Hamilton wasn’t exactly good at keeping diaries. So this conclution can only be Clary’s own opinion. An opinion he states as a fact.
By no means would I call Hamilton a wholehearted abolitionist, but it would be wrong to say that he supported slavery. Especially during the war when his conviction to the cause was at its peak. And to say that Hamilton didn’t support Laurens is really downplaying the relationship, which makes it even more clear how much Clary wants to erase any romantic notions.
Even if the book revolves around the relationship between Washington and Lafayette, something it actually does a pretty good job at portraying, it gives a very wrong view of the relationship between Hamilton and Laurens. As well as lgbt+ history, and of Hamilton as a person. I see no harm in enjoying Clary’s work as long as one is aware of the flaws, this being one of the big ones.
wow okay nowadays I actually agree more with Clary lol
Me: *wakes up to 40 notifications on my cringy high school history blog*
Also me:
I know I can’t really stop anyone from rebloging my stuff, but I just want you to know that I wrote most of my posts when I was 17-18 years old. I am now 22 with an actual degree in history and I don’t agree with half of what I said before. I am keeping the posts and this blog around for archival purposes, nothing more.

Robe à la francaise ca. 1770
From Cora Ginsburg
Reasons why black hair isn’t only hair
Razones por las cualesquiera cabello negro no es sólo cabello
| The Pencil Test |
Between 1948 and 1994, the pencil test was a method used to assessing whether a person was white or black. A pencil was slid into the hair of someone being assessed. If the pencil fell out, you were white and if it stayed in you were black.
This was a tool used to segregate black people and stop them from attending functions, schools and events. Not only did this cause racial division it also tore families apart.
| Prueba del lápiz |
Entre 1948 y 1994, la prueba del lápiz fue un método utilizado para determinar si una persona era blanca o negra. Un lápiz era puesto en el cabello y si este se caía, eras blanco y si este se quedaba en el cabello, eras negro.
Esta herramienta fue utilizada para segregar a la gente negra y para detenerlos de asistir a funciones, escuelas y eventos. Esto no solo causó división racial sino que también separó familias.

| Map to Freedom |
Cornrows have a rich history in the black community. Slaves would braid escape routes into their hair. They were used as a way for slaves to communicate with one another without their slave owners knowing. Some of the cornrows and the number of plaits worn would let them know how far they needed to travel or how many roads they needed to walk till they would be able to meet one another to escape the plantation.
| Mapa hacia la libertad |
Las trenzas tienen un rol importante en la historia de la comunidad negra. Los esclavos trenzaban rutas de escape en sus cabellos. Era utilizadas como un medio de comunicación entre ellos, sin que sus dueños se enteraran. Algunas de las trenzas y el número de ellas que se hacían les hacia saber cuánto tendrían que viajar o caminar para poder encontrarse y escapar de las plantaciones.
•••
| Means of Survirval |
The black women who came before us were innovative and showed that the thickens and texture of black hair was so valuable and had a purpose.
This is because slaves would braid rice and seeds in their cornrows before journeying the Middle Passage. Enslaved mothers would also braid seeds in their children’s hair so they could eat in case they were separated due to slave auctions.
| Medios de sobrevivencia |
Las mujeres negras que estaban antes de nosotros, eran mujeres innovadoras que demostraron que el grosor y textura del cabello negro era valioso y tenía propósito.
Esto es porque los esclavos ponían arroz y semillas en las trenzas antes de viajar en el Pasaje Medio. Madres esclavas también ponían semillas en las trenzas de sus hijos para que pudieran alimentarse en caso de ser separados por las subastas.
•••
| Cultural Representation |
Before colonization in the 15th century. Black hair would tell you everything you needed to know about a person just by looking at the style alone. Hairstyles were able to indicate things like wealth, religion, culture, tribe, marital status, social status, age and plenty more. You were even able to know a person’s last name just by looking at their hairstyle. This is because each tribe has their own unique hairstyle.
| Representación Cultural |
Antes de la colonización en el siglo XV, el cabello de negro o afro te decía todo lo que necesitabas saber acerca de una persona solo por ver el estilo de cabello. El estilo podría indicar cosas como la riqueza, religión, cultura, tribu, estado civil, estado social, edad y mucho más. Incluso podías saber el apellido de una persona solo por ver su estilo de cabello. Esto era porque cada tribu tenía su estilo único.
•••
| The Tignon Law |
Late 18th century in Louisiana, black women were banned from wearing their hair in public and were ordered to cover it up at all times. This was because they wanted to curb the growing influence of the free black population and keep the social order. It was also believe that black women’s hairstyles would draw attention of white men, and this increased the jealousy of white women.
| La ley del Tignon |
A finales del siglo XVIII en Louisiana, a las mujeres negras se les prohibió usar su cabello natural en público y se les ordenó que lo cubrieran en todo momento. Esto era porque querían frenar la influencia creciente de la gente negra libre y mantener el orden social. También se creía que los estilos de las mujeres negras llamaba la atención de los hombres blancos lo que llevó al incremento de celos/envidia de las mujeres blancas.
•••
| Stripped of Identity |
When the slave trade started and the slaves were captured, black women were forced to shave all their hair off. This was the beginning process of eradicating the “black” identity and culture. It was also a tool used to minimize black beauty and dehumanize black women, as slave owners knew their hair was something they valued enormously, was part of their identity and it also held so much significance.
|Despojo de identidad |
Cuando comenzó la trata de esclavos y estos eran capturados, las mujeres negras eran obligadas a cortarse todo el cabello. Esto fue el principio del proceso de erradicar la identidad “negra” y cultura. También era una herramienta utilizada para minimizar la belleza negra y deshumanizar a la mujer negra, debido que los dueños de eslavos sabían que el cabello era algo valorado enormemente, era parte de su identidad y tenía demasiado significado.
•••
| Cultural appropriation |
Black hairstyles are an outward expression of self-acceptance and self-love. However, the anti-Black hair sentiment has existed in society for centuries. Black hair has been compared el wool and often described as ‘wild’, ‘nappy’ or ‘ghetto’. Yet non-black people are praised, credited and even profit from styles and trends that black women have been ridiculed for. Cultural appreciation is about recognizing history and where it came from, which includes learning about and giving credit to what you’re borrowing, instead of saying “it’s just hair”.
| Apropiación cultural |
Los estilos de cabello negros son una expresión de auto aceptación y amor propio. Sin embargo, el sentimiento “anti-cabello negro” ha existido en la sociedad por siglos.
El cabello negro ha sido comparado con lana y en varias ocasiones se ha descrito como “salvaje”, “duró” o “guetto”. Aún así personas no pertenecientes a la raza son aplaudidas, acreditadas e incluso se han beneficiado económicamente de los estilos y tendencias por los cuales las mujeres negras han sido ridiculizadas.
La apreciación cultural es acerca de reconocer la historia, de donde vino, incluye aprender y dar crédito de lo que estás prestando en vez de decir “es sólo cabello”.

| The Corporate World |
In 2010, Chastity Jones accepted a job offer from Catastrophe Management Solutions. However, the offer came with one caveat — she had to cut off her locs. Jones refused and the company rescinded its job offer. Chastity’s case is not unique. Cases filed by black working women alleging discrimination against a their natural hair in the workplace have filled courthouses for more than forty years.
| El Mundo Corporativo |
En el 2010, Chastity Jones aceptó una oferta de trabajo de Catastrophe Management Solutions. Sin embargo, la oferta venía con una advertencia o condición — tenía que cortarse sus rastas. Jones se rehusó y la compañía revocó su oferta. El caso de Chastity no es único. Casos interpuestos por mujeres negras trabajadoras alegando discriminación en contra de su cabello natural en su lugar de trabajo ha llenado los juzgados por más de cuarenta años.

Spanish translation by Long Live Blackness Traducción al español por Long Live Blackness
the way people lump historians together as all thinking alike is frankly bizarre, not just because historians infamously disagree about everything, but because historians are just people who go to school and learn to study history and all carry their own opinions on things and so obviously can look at events in history and come out with very different interpretations of it, the idea there’s some Big History influencing them to fall in line and repeat the same thing is not true and no one should be spreading it because that is some deep alt right bullshit
Today we celebrate the life of Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first African-American woman physician in the United States. On this anniversary of her death, let us applaud her courage, perseverance and pioneering achievements. Her passion “to mitigate the afflictions of the human race” was Rebecca’s gift and historic legacy.
black jewish history
hey, let’s learn about black jews for the last day of black history month. european and american discourse generally focuses on the ashkenazi tribe of jews, those of germanic, russian, and northern european racial extraction. however, there’s a lot more tribes, and black jews have basically always been a thing, from the ancient african kings and queens of the torah to the new world’s black americans.

A shit, I know this blog is kinda dead but I feel like I need to do something for black history month. I don't wanna write anything myself because I feel like it's more important to amplify black voices and no one needs a white swedish woman explaining things poorly. So if you know any good black run blogs that have posted their research or think-pieces, I would love it if you would send me the link! I will of course look for myself as well since I'm sure there's no shortage of them, but since I'm still busy with school and other stuff I would appreciate some help from y'all who still check in on this blog : ) thanks!
You are probably aware of this but Susanna Livingston (an acquaintance of Alexander's) was Maria Lewis' (in this house we don't associate her with James) older sister (Susanna was around 7 years older than Maria to be precise), Maria's daughter (Susan) was likely named for both Susanna and their mother (also Susanna). Susanna named her second daughter after Maria. Which makes Alexander's actions even wilder because he really said ''Okay I'm just gonna ruin your sister's reputation bye :)''
same with this one, I need to check my inbox more often :, ) but yeah a classic Dick Move as the kids call it. I would like to do more research into the Livingston family, once I have my bachelors I might have time to delve into it properly : )
Neddy Stevens needs more love. NEDDY STEVENS NEEDS MORE LOVE! MY SON GETS NO ATTENTION. His bromance with Al was precious, my god. 😟
jesus christ I have no idea how long this has been in my inbox but god yes, Ned Stevens needs attention, he was a good doctor, great work during the yellow fever epidemic in philadelphia
