I think it’s fascinating kinda how we try to impose on historical figures that they were the same at all points in their life. Like I know Lafayette in the American Revolution I know who that man is & can tell you all about him.
I don’t touch him in the French Revolution because I’ve never met that man before in my life.
#also Thaddeus#amrev thaddeus and Polish rev thaddeus r not the same person#Polish rev Thaddeus doesn’t exist to American historians which. that’s literally a whole different person kinda#something about human nature being one that is constantly evolving or whatever#clair rambles#amrev#american revolution#thaddeus kosciuszko#lafayette#marquis de lafayette#18th century history#18th century
