@dreamy12122 Yes

@jad14219655 @dogwoodblooms Queen Charlotte was the wife of George III. Her family origins were in the German province of Mecklenburg.

@dogwoodblooms Hello…Queen Charoltte of Mecklenburg? Anyone?

North Carolina has a heavy German influence, which makes it rather unique in the South. And though we only talk about those influences when discussing the Winston-Salem area, other places had German settlers too - including SENC and the Uwharries. One of the most influential German settlers of the Uwharries was a man named Dr. Kron. And his house? It still stands. Want to know more about Dr. Kron and his home, Attaway Hill? I wrote about it on the blog today. The link is down in the comments. Y’all enjoy! ❤️

@dogwoodblooms SC also had a strong German presence above present-day Columbia. George II encouraged their settlement as a buffer against upstate Indians.

@ByrneHobart 1984 coming to life

Jeez, seems a little drastic.

@SalinaBBaker The portrait shown is by Rembrandt Peale, not Gilbert Stuart.

When George Washington arrived in Cambridge on July 2, 1775, he was a long way from becoming the stoic icon that stares at us each day from the dollar bill. He might have impressed his fellow delegates at the Continental Congress as "sober, steady, and calm." but as the painter Gilbert Stuart came to recognize, lurking beneath Washington's deceptively placid exterior were "the strongest and most ungovernable passions." "Had he been born in the forest," the painter claimed, "he would have been the fiercest man among the savage tribes." Excerpt from: "Bunker Hill" by Nathaniel Philbrick

@1Nicdar No way the Secret Service would allow such close proximity to AF2

Check out the reflections on the upper belly and port side engine on this Harris/Walz jet airplane. What do you notice?

@HenricoWXGeek @BrookeLRollins @BigJoeBastardi If you knew what you’re talking about you might also know the proper name of the book you’re attempting to cite. No plural in the title.

Ever been in combat? Ever been shot at? I haven’t. Neither, until today, has President Trump. But one thing that combat veterans tell me, over and over, is that combat reveals character. The experience of being under fire exposes who you are in fundamental ways. You don’t really know what that answer will be until the moment is upon you. Well, we just had President Trump’s character revealed. Turns out he’s the kind of man who comes under fire, takes a hit, feels the blood. and stands back up… with his fist raised. That’s who he is. That’s who he always was – and now we know it.

@ChiefFarewell @PresidentsVisit How was Jefferson counted in the federal funding list?

@PresidentsVisit Thanks! A minor yet crucial detail.

On the heels of President Tyler's death yesterday it should be noted that his current gravesite was federally funded. How many other current gravesites were federally funded? Jefferson Taylor Kennedy (partially) State funded: WH Harrison Pierce

@HistoryAthletic The sub you listed was William M Shand (1881-1941). He was later captain of the team .

(LT) Laney 160, (RT) Messers Wannamaker 148, (LE) Lawarence 170, (RE) Anderson 165, (QB) Melton Clark 150, (LHB) W. Moorman 170, (RHB) Robert Moorman 140, (FB) William Lipscomb 148, (Sub) Shand 150, (Sub) Nash 175

Was unable to find the first names of several SC players from the first ever football game in school history. The team faced an experienced Furman team. The SC team average weight was 158 lbs. Here's their position, name, weight. (C) Parker 170, (LG) Black 180, (RG) James 160,

@CBradleyThomps1 @rogerkimball You have every reason to be proud, and with no lack of humility. It is a shame there are not more historians today in that same noble company.

Bernard Bailyn was Gordon Wood's teacher & Gordon Wood was my teacher. (I also took a class with Professor Bailyn.) One of the great thrills of my career was to have my book mentioned in the same breath as their books by two eminent scholars.

@donavansreef @barstoolsports Wrong hero: Francis Marion was the Swamp Fox. The Gamecock was Thomas Sumter.

@WineEnthusiast The best bourbons don’t have to be from Kentucky, but it so happens that they are.

Have you tried any of these?

@NileGardiner Is it separate but equal, just like the old water fountains?

The United States has only one national anthem and one flag for all Americans of all races.

@IVMiles @craigbrucesmith Do they teach spelling there?

@Braves_Rumors Pathetic

yikes

@SenatorTimScott @MZHemingway What an encouraging example to so many in our nation. And how proud you must be of each other. A mother’s love is beyond measure.

Y’all heard me talk about my mother earlier this week—she is my rock and biggest supporter. Loved spending this morning with her as we assembled Mother’s Day gifts for her nonprofit that supports other single moms!

@RBrookhiser Not quite Valley Forge, but General Washington still watches over the troops

GW with the troops, once again.

@TheVinScully In 1975 I was a young radio reporter in Greenville, SC. On a working visit to Atlanta, you and I talked in the press box. Mrs Babe Ruth was in attendance, and you introduced me to her when the Braves rep brought her over. Being with you was a highlight of my years in radio.

I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
