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/

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.

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/

Hi @NetflixFilm, I'm Jason Herbert. I'm a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Minnesota and I'm the creator of Historians At The Movies. Every weekend, we (historians and the general public) tune into @netflix to watch and live tweet a film together. #HATM 1/ If you'll check your viewing records, you'll see a bump on either Sunday nights at 8 since last July or Saturday nights at 9 since May. If you search the hashtag #HATM you'll see we've made quite the impression. 2/

I have not played this game but I am deeply concerned about it. Turning the displacement and deaths of millions of hemispheric denizens into a “game” that should be “enjoyed” is disturbing enough. THREAD 1/ But worse is that Native Americans are not present at all. What does that teach those who play this game? It is yet another form of erasure of indigenous peoples. That’s scary. 2/
