in his writing jefferson davis calls kentucky “the eldest daughter of virginia”, reminds me of various catholic writers referring to france as “the eldest daughter of the church”.

i am unfamiliar with how common that particular phrase is but interesting seeing it in both places as he apparently attended a catholic school, in kentucky, wherein he was allegedly the only protestant there.

for an extra bit of deep americana, many of us will be familiar with the simpsons running gag of not disclosing their state of residence. however in a “behind the scenes” episode of the simpsons (behind the laughter season 9[?]) they are described as a kentucky family:

slightly cheesy evangelical programing actually goes super hard sometimes. you drop into a show and its like "a firefighter was recently convicted of negligence for letting a family of 5 burn alive in their home.

thats you, when you fail to share the bible with others

he sat in his car listening to music with headphones on while the mother of five children screamed for help, agonized by the searing pain of the flames as her home crumbled to ashes around her. actually, this never happened. still you. we just made this story up. but the moral is

ive kind of told this story in pieces before but since im watching it again while working i will tell you about my relationship to such programs. theres something about it that really nails down something about american evangelical christianity for me.

tapping the sign by my door that says local village idiot but after looking through a lot of 1800s stuff it really really kind of seems like everyone acted like and spoke as though states had the right to secede and leave the union right up until some of them actually did it.

i mean are we really supposed to think that when the states entered the union they all thought explicitly that if they ever tried to leave the other states would come there with soldiers and kill them. thats really really really not the vibe you get at all looking at this stuff.

for example just look at how south carolina left + how they went about that. of course there was complications + that was the start of the war but clearly they didnt think they were starting a war when they said they were leaving. am i supposed to just think they missed the memo
