Write It With Passion

Write It With Passion! Hello I'm 31. I'm a 18th century historian. I love George Washington and the rest of my founding fathers. I love reading, and I also write. I'm on here to share my writing and stuff with you all. I love elephants! My fav. color is green, My fav. actor is Tom Hiddleston, and my fav band is The Beatles. That's all for now. :)

Phillip Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton’s first born died at age 19 in a duel. He was not only beautiful but witty and charming.

Thomas Paine Requested by anonymous!

Tom had an absolutely adorable dorky smile. What’s not to love about that? Seriously, stare at that smile for a few minutes and tell me there’s not something charming about it. I bet he had some amazing pickup lines.

This guy wrote the famous Common Sense, which was, quite literally, about common sense. During the 1700s, America was trying to get out from under English rule, but many people were still loyal to the crown or they just didn’t give a shit. His writing basically said that the British were being control freaks and colonists deserve to be treated better, only he wrote it with such eloquence that it convinced many of the neutralists and even some loyalists to join in the revolution. Thanks, Tom!

Oh yeah, he also has this awesome action shot statue with a quill pen. Go long!

Links to John Laurens letters

I’ll try my best to link the ones I can find online, I’ll probably miss some so feel free to add any more. Credit to @john-laurens who has linked a lot of these. I feel like it would be helpful to have a master list. If there are manuscripts available I’ll put them in an (x) or if they already are a manuscript I’ll put it in bold so you’ll be able to view them. If I can only find an excerpt I’ll write it and put it in a [x].

Firstly, if you look at the date I do believe that John Laurens got married on the 26th October 1776. This is also the letter where he tells his father that he got a 19 year old pregnant.

Well since it’s his birthday, here are some facts about James Madison:

1. Born on 16. 3. 1751

3. They called him Little Jemmy or His Little Majesty

4. He loved ice cream

5. His doctor suggested that he takes stimulants to extend his life to 4th July, but Madison said “No” and died 6 days earlier on 28th June

6. Was suicidal and would often tell people he wished he were dead

7. Had a severe anxiety and even droped out of collage because of it, lying he’d been studying independently

8. Got arrested with Thomas Jefferson for riding a horse carriage on a Sunday in Vermont, which was ILLEGAL!

9. “Accidentally” shipped a ton of prostitutes into US

10. Paranoid over his letters being intercepted so he wrote in only code with Thomas Jefferson

11. He was a president when the White house was burned down during the War of 1812 and the British soldiers ate his dinner, dammit!

12. Sick most of his life and prone to epileptic seizures and hypochondria

Friendly reminder that freedom does not ring after 10:00 when you have to work the 5th or July…Captain America and George Washington would want you to be kind to your neighbors and not launch fireworks but rather get a good nights sleep so they can kick trash and fight tyrants in the morning.
