19th Century Rpf - Tumblr Posts

are you normal or did you feel melancholy when you realized that the historical figures you think of as the "young generation" due to the time period you engage with, were one day the old ones? because i saw art of lafayette and washington's aides de camp right above art on henry clay's generation and it hit me like a sucker punch.

yes they are all dead white men from over a century ago but damn. alexa, play the times they are a-changin.

every once in a while i get antebellum posts on my feed and i'm like... yes....i see some names....i may have seen before....IS THAT JOHN QUINCY ADAMS SON OF JOHN ADAMS? THANK GOD I RAN INTO YOU, LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR FATHER REAL QUICK

i suddenly become the world's biggest elitist. if you aren't the child of an important revolutionary war figure then i don't know or care about you!

every single day i tell myself i will get into antebellum era and unlock a whole new world of history tumblr content and every single day i end up rereading the same letters from the same 20 people i already know. once i figure out what tf was in the 1790s philadelphian air i promise i will join y'all! 19th century politics you will not escape me further.
