can you do a similar post for innacurracies in 1776 when you get s chance?
(This has been here for a month and I am so sorry.)
John Adams and Martha Jefferson waltz during “He Plays the Violin”. The waltz did not become popular until 1780, when it became the rage at the Hapsburg court in Vienna. It spread to other countries several years later.
In “Cool Considerate Men”, Southern delegates sing about “moving to the right”, but “right/left” political labels originated in the French Revolutionary Assembly of 1789.
Also something of an anachronism is that the first few bars of the verses and the first words of the first verse are clearly a reference to “The Star Spangled Banner”, the lyrics of which in 1776 would not be written by Francis Scott Key for 38 years.
Adams and Franklin talk about Botticelli painting Venus. At his death in 1510, Botticelli had lapsed into obscurity and was all but completely forgotten until a revival of interest in his works in the mid-19th century. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin would probably not have been familiar with him and his art.
Lewis Morris of New York had only 10 children, not 12 and the 3 oldest boys fought in the Revolution- not 4 as stated in the movie.
The insult that sparks a brawl between Dickinson and Adams is “Lawyer!” One of the first lines is “One useless man is called a disgrace, two become a law firm, and three or more become a Congress.” Yet 90% of Congress, including John Dickinson and John Adams themselves, were lawyers, so that seems a strange insult to use against somebody in the same profession.
During the song “The Egg” they sing “on this humid Monday morning”, yet the date is shown as June 28, 1776, which was a Friday.
Caesar Rodney suffered from asthma and skin cancer, but he had not returned to Delaware because he was dying. As a brigadier general in the Delaware militia, he was in Sussex County monitoring Tory activity when he received word that the vote on independence was about to take place. Changing horses several times, he rode all night, eighty miles through a thunderstorm, to reach Philadelphia in time to cast his vote. He remained almost continuously in public service until his death in 1784.
John Hancock was the only person to sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4th. The others waited until August 2nd. One signed it in 1781.
John Dickinson was a pacifistic Quaker who objected to revolution, not a Tory leading the resistance to declaring independence.
Stephen Hopkins’ statement “The Colonies are rotting for want of independence,” should actually be attributed to Rev. John Witherspoon.
John Adams and Richard Henry Lee had a healthy admiration and respect for one another.
There was no direct requirement for unanimity, only the understanding that a less than unanimous vote would indicate a divided America to potential allies.
Martha comes to Philadelphia to see Thomas. While Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration, Martha stayed in Virginia, recovering from a miscarriage. Which was why Jefferson constantly requested to be returned to Virginia- being denied every time because he wanted to be with his wife.
When the Declaration is signed, John Dickinson leaves the Congress without signing the document. Though he was a non-signer, he did not resign. At the time the Declaration of Independence was passed, he was on the committee that drafted the Articles of Confederation (part of Richard Henry Lee’s resolution).
Caesar Rodney is depicted as a short willowy man, but he was famously tall and thin.
After the song “Cool Considerate Men,” McNair remarks that he could not borrow a dollar from any of those men. Although American dollars were not minted until 1792, Spanish reales were recognized as international currency, and called dollars by English colonists.
After the Declaration is approved Hancock asks the secretary if it is ready to be signed. The secretary replies that it is. This is not possible, as a deletion was made to the text only moments before, so no printed copy could yet exist.
In the close-up of Franklin’s portrait, the painter’s brush is clearly not making any changes; no paint is added and none is removed.
After several days of debate, congressmen made several changes in wording and deleted nearly a quarter of the text. Jefferson resented many of the changes. In reality, Adams and Franklin had made a few substitutions prior to submitting the document to the full Congress.
Congressmen probably did not sign the Declaration on July 4, most signed on August 2, 1776, though others signed before and after. In fact, on the day of July 4, Jefferson was absent from Congress buying gloves and Adams claimed in a letter to Abigail that July 2 would be a future day of celebrations.
The Liberty Bell is depicted ringing as the Declaration of Independence is being signed on July 4 (a mistake itself) in the film. The bell actually did not ring on that date, but on July 8, when the Declaration had been returned from the printer and unveiled to the public.
During “The Lees of Old Virginia”, Richard Henry Lee refers to Harry Lee as “Lighthorse Harry Lee”. Harry didn’t earn that nickname until 1778.
If anyone has more, you can add on!

Your smiling face, your warm embrace
We’ve been apart far too long, it felt so wrong
Nice to know you’re coming over, nice to know the wait is over
Hello, hello, is that a smile on your face?
Here’s a kiss, just in case, this one’s for you!

I love the Annals of Ulster...
it’s mostly filled with stuff like this:
But occasionally you get a gem like this:
what a way to go.
The catechism of the United Irishmen invoked a new revolutionary universalism: Question: What have you for in your hand? Answer: A green bough. Question: Where did it first grow? Answer: In America. Question: Where did it first bud? Answer: In France. Question: Where are you going to plant it? Answer: In the crown of Great Britain.

What popular misconceptions about Celtic mythology annoy you the most?
Haha. Oof. That’s a big question. As a historian, I mostly struggle with the co-option of the idea of “Celtic” for purposes the word was not intended for.
Celtic is not a single group or “race”. It’s not a single pantheon or mythology or even culture. It’s not inherently pagan.
It’s a language group and art style developed over time in migration across most likely north Africa, Spain and then western Europe, Britain and Ireland.
This is all a fascinating field of study. One that’s full of disagreements and the re-examining of data over years. British “pan-celtic” Victorian scholars led to a lot of bad history that then got absorbed into 1960s neo-pagan movements including but not limited to Wicca and led to a whack of mostly North American people online looking for some easy “Celtic” heritage that fill a spiritual gap they feel in their lives.
People finding faith, spirituality or practise that makes them feel fulfilled and connected to things outside themselves or inside themselves is valuable and brilliant. But history and culture are not simple, easily tailored things.
This isn’t about diaspora, I’ve been Irish diaspora myself for five years now and I don’t know if I’ll get to move home. I know a lot of London-Irish, a few generations in, who are just that. London-Irish. Ireland is an increasingly open culture, which is fantastic. Most of my friends when I still lived in Dublin were recent or first generation immigrants to Dublin. The streets in the inner city I grow up on have Korean and Nigerian community growing up in them. All of this is Irish too because being Irish is not some Celtic cosplay opportunity.
It’s a worryingly short step between the people who twist Irish history for their own spiritual purposes and the people who twist it for far-right political agendas.
Irish American “news” sites like Irish Central sit comfortably in the middle of these things. It’s something that’s hard for Irish people to articulate why it makes us uncomfortable sometimes.
Thinking this might not make me very popular in pagan discourse but that’s life.

All we learned about Sumner in APUSH was the caning and his abolitionist stance, could ya share some of your fav Sumner facts??
Originally posted by yourreactiongifs
Sumner had superhuman strength. When he was caned, he ripped the desk off the floor, an impressive feat when you realize it was BOLTED TO IT. He just ripped it off like it was nothing, while he was being beaten within an inch of his life. And that’s not even the only example. When Sam Howe and Sumner first meet, it’s because Sumner is trying to personally break up a mob and got hit in the face with a brick. Another time there was a fire near his home, and not wanting it to hurt his own house, he came outside and assisted the fire department in single handedly TEARING DOWN THE FRONT WALL WITH A GRAPPLING HOOK.
Sumner and Nature did NOT go well together. He tried to pet a baby cow and the baby cow won.
He was ashamed of it, but Sumner wore glasses and it was the cutest thing ever.
Charles Sumner, despite not understanding jokes very well, loved to TELL them. They were almost all puns, they were almost all stupid, and Sumner’s sense of humor was the funniest thing in the world to me. (“He’s a pillar of the state!” “Yeah… a caterpillar.”)
Charles Sumner went on Henry Longfellow’s honeymoon. He was constantly annoyed by how much sex Henry and Fanny were having.
Charles Sumner was probably the most honest man I’ve ever heard of, to an actual fault. People use it against him now, but I mean… he never lied. He never kissed any ass to get ahead. He was brutally up front, even to his friends, because he genuinely believed real friends would be truthful no matter what. As you can imagine, it lost him a lot of friends. (Looking at you, Corny.)
The exception to that rule? Sam Howe. At least up until the end of his life. The only friend he was terrified of losing because of his honesty was Sam. It’s a fascinating question, honestly. He lied to Sam about his own illness, he lied about his support for Sam’s marriage, he lied about anything that he knew would make Sam upset. He didn’t even censor himself with Henry… love is a funny thing.
Sumner called Julia Ward Howe “Medusa” behind her and Sam’s backs. Sumner is an actual child.
Sumner was a dog magnet.
Sumner was also addicted to chocolate.
His friends jokingly set up a “Charles Sumner Marriage Committee”, until they all started to panic when Sumner REFUSED to marry and it actually became a serious club.
Sumner’s favorite play was King Lear, and he often talked about how much of a connection he felt to Cordelia. (Papa Sumner was an emotionally distant, grade-a asshole, anon. Nothing Sumner did was ever good enough for him.)
Finally, Charles Sumner was probably the greatest man of his day, no exaggeration. He was so ahead of his time, so entrenched in the side of right, it’s infuriating that he’s been so villified. He was an abolitionist, a suffragist, he fought for immigrants and children and prisoners and the mentally disabled. He fought for schools for blind and deaf students. He believed women were equal to men, and that all men were born free and equal. He was such a good man. He is so much more than the caning, and I will fight to the death over him.
