Henry Clay is Crying

Good fun and American history

[transtemporaladventuress-deacti]

Never was there a tale of more woe than that of Juliet and her Romeo

Never was there a tale of more strife than that of Macbeth and his stabby knife

Never was there a tale of more sad than that of Hamlet and his spooky dad

me, circa early 1800s, paying a stable boy a few coppers to ride overnight to deliver you an urgent letter with a thick wax seal that after you struggle to break it just says “bitch!” in tiny little writing 

[peristeronicsuperhero-deactivat]

no no no, you don’t understand the true level of spiteful here. The sender of a letter didn’t pay for the post in 1800. The receiver did. You just made your enemy pay for the privilege of being insulted.

A Fact

The longest official war was between the Netherlands and the Isles of Scilly, which lasted from 1651 to 1986. Nobody died, which is a plus.
