3 history facts that should be known!!!

1. King George III was 6′6 (I’m 99% sure of this, found it on the 2nd page of google tho)

2. Alexander Hamilton may’ve never had an affair with Maria Reynolds!!! It may’ve just been a cover up between Alexander and James Reynold to hide that they’d been illegally speculating. There is no proof besides Alexander and James’s word that the affair happened. When Maria was accused publicly, she broke down, crying and denied it. When Eliza learned about the “affair,” she didn’t have any negative feelings about it, unlike in the musical. She burned the letters from James Reynolds as a widow.

3. Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette probably wore a flower crown as they were sometimes used at Royal Parties.

Andre’s execution scene: TURN: Washington’s Spies, S3E10, “Trial and Execution”

Well, was it worth it?

Was it worth the price?

The horrors of war?

The loss of life?

BENJAMIN TALLMADGE:

  • Smart boi (Yale graduate)
  • Fought for women’s education rights
  • One of Washington’s “favorite sons”
  • “Loved his God and General Washington in equal measure”
  • A Federalist Congressman, who often debated against Jefferson
  • In favor of abolishing slavery
  • Co-founded a society to help improve the living conditions in Jewish communities

I just finished Washington’s Spies, and I now whole-heartedly believe that Benjamin Tallmadge is probably one of the greatest people to ever walk this earth and I love him.

We should’ve known better. I thought there were still secret places. Hidden in the cracks and crevices of this world. Places we could make beautiful, peaceful, quiet, safe.

I remember this epic moment from The Newsroom

Americans just buy into the propaganda they are the greatest country when there is absolutely zero evidence to say so.
