Martha Washington, Slave Owner

The world is a fickle place. We as humans tend to put people on pedestals and are unwilling to ever let them fall. Yet, what if everything we were taught in school was wrong? What if our heroes are not what we want them to be? In all honesty, it should be no surprise to us when those we treasure most of fall flat on their face, or that we learn a mistakes they made. To err is human. Take Martha Washington for example. She was the first first lady of the United States and the wife of President George Washington; she was also a slave owner.  When we think of Martha Washington we often think of a reserved and private woman, we also think of her freeing slaves. Yet, "great emancipation" is sometimes not what It seems. The Washington's lived a very comfortable life. After George passed on, it became well known that after the death of Martha his slaves would be freed.

These are the peoples that made the actions of Washington and Jefferson possible. They were heroes among men, all of them. Nevertheless, history books do remember many of the bigger figures of the A...

A Word From The Northern Rose

Image
History is not an easy subject, and it never will be. Yet, history is vitally important for the survival of the human race. If we do not study and learn from the lessons our ancestors were forced through, than we are doomed to repeat them. That is why history is important. Saying that... do not simply pick up a thick and boring textbook because the mysterious Northern Rose says to. Instead, learn in the way that works for you. I read heavy textbooks because I find them utterly fascinating. You can look in a newspaper, (yes, those still exist) or browse through Wikipedia randomly, or watch a historical drama. Just remember to keep an open mind and question EVERYTHING. That is how we learn from the past. Questions. Questions. Questions.
