Justin Chu Tumblr Post #9

Jeffersonian versus Hamiltonian ideology is what struck out to me the most. How I learned Thomas Jefferson was not a really a moral sound president after all who wanted to press on the Agrarian slave culture. Hamilton ideology is how the United States currently runs, a large national bank and a more modern economy from the industrial revolution. Learning the truth towards Andrew Jackson “free debt America” is interesting considering it put America into decades of economic recession. 

The topics addressed in this course was built on top one another creating one fluent narrative. Starting out with the events leading to the Puritans leaving Anglican pro Britain to starting their new life in America and ending it with the U.S Civil war. How the manifest destiny resulted from the failed economy of the east due to Jackson eliminating the Second National Bank. Learning how the Mexican-American war was triggered by the United States and dispelling American Exceptionalism which was presented throughout my elementary and middle school history class.

There will always be bias presented from a course, within US History the accounts of the Civil War was heavily accounted from the Union side, especially the name of the battles. Information in regards to the Native Americans are limited as most of their information has been lost through oral traditions. 

There is always blind spots when covering U.S History as there are many events that can be examined closely. There is just not enough time to cover the whole scope of US History in one semester. Despite have AMH 2020 it takes a lot of time to fully learn about US History. After all, there is also some part of American History that hasn’t been unconvered yet. History is always in the making. 

Personally, I would like to learn more about US History from the 1900′s onward, and thankfully you teach the AMH 2020 course.

In terms of a favorite assignment, Tumblr Post 6 The American Way Of War was my favorite assignment. For this assignment I choose the documentary of the Battle of Mogadishu learning the true events of Ridley Scotts film Black Hawk Down. Tumblr Post 4 Church and State is my least favorite personally since the topic is harder to grasp.

Through your documentary and allowing us to choose a film to watch for our extra credit assignment, this course reinforce my knowledge on how history is being interpreted through the mediums of media, such as drunk history, Stephen Colberts interpretation of history, and dispelling American Exceptionalism in the History Channel. 

I learn a lot from this course and I appreciate your passion within history.

“You are a hard-drinking, short-fused, mess of a person. But you are not a piece of shit.”

“ Let’s get this ONE THING straight, ” Sebastian growled. The fuck did Morton know? What, because he’d married his sister, he was suddenly a fucking EXPERT on the subject? Fuck him.       “ Jus’ b'cause you’re now LEGALLY family, does not bloody well mean y’ know SHIT about me, yeah? ”

professor-morton replied to your post “What a nerd.”

"At least I didn't call you Mittens."

“You are an idiot, and I find myself irritated by you at this moment.”

Ѡ {Hello yes, this is from Isaac Morton.}

[Text] I told you tan lines caused by sunbathing in your underwear wouldn't look attractive, Morton. Do you finally understand that now?

DOMESTICITY MEME: Professor Isaac A. Morton and Mycroft. GO.

If you can think of a ship, i will answer these questions for them

who cooks normally?:

Issac tried, Mycroft demands he takes over. He doesn’t trust the other man’s cooking at all.

how often do they fight?:

About as much as usual couples. While Mycroft does say some stupid things sometimes, one glare from Isaac is usually enough to shut him up and therefore stops the argument.

what do they do when they’re away from each other?:

Mycroft tries to work, Isaac tries to avoid doing whatever he’s doing by texting Mycroft whatever is on his mind in that moment.

nicknames for each other?:

Mittens. Isaac calls Mycroft Mittens and he hates it with every fibre in his body (except not really. Sometimes he finds it rather sweet).

who is more likely to pay for dinner?:

Mycroft offers to pay and if Isaac complains he distracts him before quickly paying himself.

who steals the covers at night?:

Mycroft steals the covers and always ends up wrapped up like some sort of strange Mycroft-burrito.

what would they get each other for gifts?:

Isaac gets Mycroft things like cufflinks or tie pins, Mycroft tries to get away with telling Isaac he got him his love as a present but always goes out and gets him a proper present later.

who remembers things?:

Mycroft claims not to remember because it amuses him when Isaac tries to remember for him but can’t, he if it’s important he’ll always tell the truth about remembering later.

who cusses more?:

Mycroft swears to himself while he works sometimes. Isaac pretends to be horrified before breaking down into laughter at his partner’s annoyed face.

what would they do if the other one was hurt?:

Isaac would worry his head off and irritate Mycroft to death with his worrying. Mycroft, on the other hand, would simply sit with Isaac being deathly quiet.

who kissed who first?:

Isaac kissed Mycroft. It took a bit of time to convince Mycroft to kiss back, but he did eventually.

who made the first move?:

Isaac’s kiss was the first move, although now Mycroft thinks about it there was some flirting that went completely over his head beforehand.

who started the relationship?:

Isaac. Mycroft was happy to just leave it, but Isaac was the one who convinced him to give it a go.

...Did you expect something else? Murder isn't really my thing, Sebastian. I'm quite boring.

Dunno what I rightly expected, Morton. I think I may’ve forgotten who you were for a mo’.

-- S’ back now, though… unfortunately.

[ he sighed, ever the dramatist, when it suited him. ] You’re alright, are you? How’s my sister, then?

[sniperwithasmoke]

Couple of idiots thought it'd be wise to knock me around in an alley. I'm fine. Now tell me how?

Oh. [ he almost sounded disappointed ] I mean, as long as you’re not bothered by the stains fluorescing, I’m sure you can just get it out with soap and water. And a little bleach. Then throw it in the washing machine.
