I remain consistently baffled how few students have read Kipling's "The White Man's Burden" in high school, and how profoundly they struggle to analyze poetry in general, esp. poetry like Kipling's that has a clear political message to it. 🗃️

In 1934, American #democracy nearly fell to a #coup.
It was organized by oligarchs of the day to seize power from president FDR.
The plotters tried to hire Major General Smedley Butler to get the military on their side.
He blew the whistle & stopped the coup

As part of my fact finding mission for Chapter 3 of the new book, I headed to the Foundling Hospital museum in West London, built in the 1930s a stone's throw from the site of the original hospital itself which was opened in 1741.

It's one thing to look at just the Census returns, but it's another to look at the hand-written notations by the people gathering the info., to see how they reinforce the racial division between not just slave and free, but black and white, in their notations. This is from NC, Census of 1810

Hey, are any historians out there doing work on slavery, the Constitution, political representation, and/or the early Census? If so, please reply! I'm looking to get a panel together for next year's #SHEAR conference

HELLO HISTORY HIVEMIND:
I am looking for some NYC-based academic historians (any geographic area, any period) for something really exciting. They just have to be someone engaging to talk/listen to.
Would love some suggestions!
