Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
And whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded, now I'm doing time
Now I'm doing time
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
And whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile

In all the American Revolutioning going on this week, I missed what @herberthistory.bsky.social picked for this Sunday.
I jumped over to the Insta and was pleasantly surprised to find that Judas and the Black Messiah is queued up for Sunday night #HATM
I’ve been wanting to watch it again 🤓

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The cool part of doing some of these podcasts is that they help you remember why you feel in love with history in the first place.

There’s a weird arithmetic when you live away from your kids. The boys will be here in five days but leave six days after that. So while you await the happiness that arrives in 5 days, you’re already dreading the hurt that comes in 11. People ask all the time how I can do this. I don’t even know.

Will Ken Burns’ American Revolution deify, vilify, or humanize the Founders? Will it advance a clear interpretation or will it let the viewer decide? Will it give us anything new, or just present what historians have been arguing about for years?
