@archeohistories This punishment could be extremely useful to some of the modern children in order to assist them to find the right path in life.

In December 1872, an eleven-year-old boy named Thomas Savage was sentenced at Wandsworth Prison, London, for the theft of a small amount of iron. His punishment was shockingly severe by modern standards—four days of hard labour followed by ten strokes of the birch cane. At such a young age, Thomas was subjected to both physical pain and the harsh realities of prison discipline, a reminder of the unforgiving nature of Victorian justice. During this period, the justice system often treated children as miniature adults, with little consideration for their age or circumstances. Hard labour was intended to instill discipline, while corporal punishment was believed to deter future crime. For boys like Thomas, the birching was not just a physical ordeal but a humiliating experience carried out under strict prison authority. Such punishments reflected society’s stern approach to poverty, theft, and survival during the late 19th century. Cases like Thomas Savage’s shed light on the harsh conditions endured by working-class children in Victorian London. Many were driven to petty crime by necessity, only to face punishments that today seem deeply disproportionate. His story is a sobering reminder of the struggles faced by poor families and the severity of the laws that governed their lives. Thanks to preservation and modern colourisation, his case remains a vivid illustration of the era’s unforgiving treatment of its most vulnerable. © Colorized History #archaeohistories

.@JDVance annihilates Liz Cheney after she endorsed Kamala earlier today: "The next presidency of Donald Trump will make sure people like Liz Cheney are laughed out of the Oval Office instead of rewarded. This is a person whose entire career has been about sending other peoples' children to fight and die for her military conflicts and her ridiculous ideas that somehow we were going to turn Afghanistan into a thriving liberal democracy and for that, Liz Cheney was willing to kill thousands of her children -- Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney make interesting partners. They get rich when America's sons and daughters go off to die. They get rich when America loses wars instead of wins war. They get rich when America gets weaker in the world."

We inaugurated a new tour yesterday at @JMMontpelier - a 2 mile hike through the East Woods, a thick forest with a high canopy of towering Tulip Polars. We went to discover what was hidden beneath. More on that later. First want to say, it was a day of joy. @JMMdescendants 1/x

Montpelier staff and the @JMMdescendants are an intertwined organism. #freemontpelier

@CulpeperSE This was not a miracle. It was the result of many, many years of hard and difficult work by dedicated site staff and the desendants of the enslaved people at Montpelier. The road ahead will still be challenging but the future looks brighter now.
