That’s it exactly lol

Thank you my friend. #HATM \ Reckoning takes up so much of my life now. And I wanna push it even harder. But that doesn’t happen without everybody.

I ain’t hatin’ it lol

Next stop: global domination. Or that cookie I bought last night that’s on my counter. Yes. Cookie first. Then domination. #Priorities

Hey everyone, it was a big night tonight. For the first time ever, a Hollywood production company asked us to help promote a series. And y’all came out and did it. I’ve said this for 7 1/2 years but Historians At The Movies belong to all of us. This was a real win for #HATM.

See you tomorrow.

And that’s a wrap here at Historians At The Movies! Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight! And a huge shout out to @benvereen.bsky.social for watching with us! Stay tuned for next week’s #HATM film announcement!

The Rathbones don’t get enough coverage when we tell the story of Lincoln’s assassination either. #HATM

Note to self: buy a sword with a cane sheath. #HATM #TheGrayHouse

This set up wasn’t uncommon in the American colonies & then the early republic. A widow could inherit for her use but only until her death when “property” passed on to the true heir. #HATM

He’s a lot of fun in this #HATM #TheGrayHouse

Fine. I’ll join the actors union. #HATM #TheGrayHouse

To be clear, Elizabeth Van Lew's father did NOT emancipate them when he died. He left his enslaved people to his wife Eliza. He later added a codicil revoking her full control saying they were to pass to their children upon her death. #HATM

History in a Nutshell | Battle of Fort Sumter Anniversary April 12 marks the anniversary of the start of the American Civil War in 1861.

Fort Sumter was a deceptively bloodless start to an exceptionally bloody war. The only casualty was a horse. #HATM www.pbs.org/video/battle...

You know there’s really no such thing as a “Southern” accent- it’s all so regional. I grew up in Kentucky and Tennessee and Louisiana so I’ve got a really good ear for the different regions. I can usually pick it out. #HATM #TheGrayHouse

I feel like this is why Kevin Costner was secretly brilliant in Robin Hood. #HATM #TheGrayHouse

CHRISTY IM SO HUNGRY NOW #HATM #TheGrayHouse

The Princess and the Frog? Yep! I can't even keep up anymore #HATM #TheGrayHouse

LOL #hatm #TheGrayHouse

Hmm. We've done Platoon and The Thing so I think it's #DunstThreshold time #HATM #TheGrayHouse

Van Lews at an abolitionist meeting

The Van Lews might as well have hung a flag outside the house that said “underground railroad over here!” That’s how crazy this scene is. No shade on the show - just pointing out that things were far more dangerous and violent than portrayed. #HATM

Abolitionist gatherings would’ve met with the kind of violence these dudes are planning. There was no freedom of speech when it came to anti slavery sentiments, which were considered to incite slave rebellions amongst otherwise “happy slaves.” See also Pennsylvania Hall (in a free state). #HATM

Y'all get ready. #HATM #TheGrayHouse

One of the things I love about #HATM is how much *I* learn from y'all #TheGrayHouse

One step at a time for certain. But #HATM was built by everyone here. #TheGrayHouse

I got busy doing #HATM #TheGrayHouse

Hey y'all @benvereen.bsky.social is watching with us! Say hi! #HATM #TheGrayHouse

Hi Ben! We're loving the show! Can't wait to talk to you on the pod! #HATM #TheGrayHouse

The Unlikely Tale of Old Topsy, the Most Interesting Camel in the World Before she retired to L.A.'s Griffith Park Zoo, Topsy was a soldier, a builder, a miner, and a movie star.

Jefferson Davis sucks, but he brought camels to the U.S., and I am totally down for a movie about Topsy. #HATM www.atlasobscura.com/articles/old...
