I am starting to get the sneaking suspicion the Confederacy was insufficiently punished

Amidst all the tragic news a bright spot: @gliamericanhistory.bsky.social has named the finalists for the Lincoln Prize and among them are some fabulous historians including @jgiesber.bsky.social @amarshall.bsky.social Doug Egerton and @jonathansjones.bsky.social -- a Binghamton U. PhD. Congrats!

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

Former advisee and Binghamton PhD @jonathansjones.bsky.social publishes his amazing book OPIUM SLAVERY on the opioid crisis after the Civil War. A must read for all students of US history.

Congratulations to Binghamton University grad student Youngin Jang who received the Holmes Award at the meeting of the Southern Historical Assn for the best paper given by a graduate student or junior faculty member. Her dissertation is on working class children families in antebellum Baltimore.

100 years ago today a Tennessee grand jury indicted science teacher John Scopes for violating the state’s law making it a crime “to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.”

Oklahoma is forcing the Supreme Court to choose: Either the justices can allow more religious control of public schools, or they can respect the wishes of the Founding Fathers, writes Adam Laats.

This is Chuck. Chuck is selling a book. Chuck also has a full-time job. I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not. Don’t be like Chuck. And don’t buy Chuck’s book.

Historian here. Never in all my schooling or PhD training or in my first 30 years of college teaching did it ever once cross my mind that the worst of American history was yet to come. Now I’m consumed by this possibility.

Nancy!!! ✊

New York voter here. Won’t be voting for Schumer. Dems in Senate need to dump him as leader. He’s a spineless coward. Not a warrior.
