It’s very ironic that for the last five or years people have been very vocal telling me over & over again that doing any research with the “founders” is useless & irrelevant, but now those same people are constantly quoting & referencing those men to criticize the current administration.

I mean, it did break the geo-political status quo in North America….
Maybe, the 7YW is actually the more important 18th century conflict?
I will see myself out.

I agree. My students don’t understand why the Stamp Act is important without discussing the SYW specifically because narrative wise it doesn’t make sense to them why England suddenly comes in trying to reassert control and pushes hard on the issue on taxes.

I just think it’s good that he talks about the Seven Years War. I don’t think that that’s something that’s especially well known in the general population.

Conversation about the Franklin miniseries came up. Let’s settle this now: Tom Wilkinson is the only acceptable Benjamin Franklin. That’s it. #HATM

Update: @kelsapellettiere.com walked and went “Kevin, what the fuck?”
And yes I am watching all four hours of the 1983 Australian miniseries that dramatized the events of that day, “The Dismissal,” in commemoration.
My wife hasn’t walked in to find this out yet, but I’m sure she’ll be delighted when she does.

I literally can’t comment on anything political or professional related to my life without risking a job opportunity when I am finally done with this fucking PhD program.
I dream of tenure so I don’t have to keep posts stuck in draft jail.
