And welcome to Historians At The Movies! Tonight we are revisiting one of the great sports and WWII films ever with A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN on @PrimeVideo at 8pm EDT. #HATM 1/
If tonight is your first night, we’re glad you’re here! For over four years we’ve gathered to laugh, cry, and historicize. But we do it as a COMMUNITY. And you’re invited! #HATM 2/
Playing along is easier than hitting a baseball. Just follow me or the #HATM hashtag and press play on A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN at exactly 8pm EDT. Then just tweet along tagging your posts with #HATM so everyone can join in. 3/
A lot of you have requested tonight’s film. So to make sure we get it right, we’ve drafted @farsouthhistory to guide us through the movie. Daniella, what should the #HATM crowd be thinking about as we watch the film? 4/
And…PLAY BALL!!! #HATM

Folks, we’ve been sleeping on Pensacola. What an incredible town. Full of history, cool food, and it’s gorgeous. Made my way downtown to look around earlier. Stopped off at @5sistersblues for some eats. It didn’t disappoint. 1/
But I had zero idea about Pensacola’s ties to the Blues. 2/
It’s a religious town, too. And if you dig church architecture, you’re in for a treat. 3/

Ben Carson here to say historians are destroying the nation’s identity by “deceiving” people.
Larry Arnn to talk about the “recovery” of history, because “humanity is at stake,” presumably forgetting that this administration puts children in cages.
And there’s the “elite universities” reference.
Arnn complains that the “big states” choose textbooks, forgetting that Texas is Texas.

Every now and then a take it so bad that makes you literally shake your head in disbelief. Such seems to be the case among those who would tell you Andrew Jackson is getting a bad rap and is, in this case, been "unfairly smeared."

Pull up a chair. 1/
Jackson emerged on the national scene during something called the Redstick War, or Creek Civil War. The war broke out in Creek Indian towns for a multitude of reasons, but largely over the changing nature of what it meant to be "Creek" in the nation. 2/
By 1813 the Creeks were the most powerful nation in the Southeast and the largest check on American expansion. Americans watched the war in present-day Georgia and Alabama and waited. When Americans were killed at Fort Mims on August 30, 1813, they finally had an excuse. 3/
