Long-Overdue Announcement!

It’s been many, many years. I graduated high school. I graduated college. I have an actual, legitimate History degree now (only a minor, but still)! I briefly lost access to this site, but got it back––and here I am! I will no longer post on this blog, but I do have another blog. Find me… Continue reading Long-Overdue Announcement!

A Tudor Story – Part Two

Dear Readers, Three years ago, I began a series of posts about the Tudor dynasty of England – one of my favorite subjects of historical study.

I AM NOT DEAD!*

Dear Readers, It has been approximately six months since I last posted on my blog.

Macbeth has long been one of my favorite plays, along with Inherit the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire. But I know many people who find the language a little too… archaic… for their tastes. This is why I have helpfully decided to translate it into Gmail-chatspeak! Now you British Literature students need not worry… Continue reading Macbeth: Internet Style

THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES – THE HARRISON ACT: TURNING POINT IN AMERICA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH DRUGS

Also known as The Paper With The Really Long Title.  FOREWORD I wrote this paper over the course of roughly three weeks, at the age of sixteen-and-a-half, as an entry for the annual National History Day contest. It was, as I had mentioned in that short entry from so long ago, the very first history… Continue reading THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES – THE HARRISON ACT: TURNING POINT IN AMERICA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH DRUGS
