the time my mom unprompted came up to me and said: "gordon ramsay's that famous chef but do you know giogio seeah" - and i went "?? there's a chef named what?". my mom very confidently answers "yes. very famous." so i spend two hours hysterically searching for "george seewah" "gorgio see" "gorgio see chef" "gorgio see gordon ramsay" until i come to her crying that this george seewah person doesn't exist.

and then she finds a picture and i go "?? jojo siwa?? she's not a chef??" and my mom says "yes i know that i was just asking if you knew her since she's famous. like gordon ramsay the chef. you really should put in some effort to keep up with basic culture" and walks away.

all this to say that i think this is the type of shit theodosia had to deal with from aaron burr every single day.

TW for the whole Hamilton-Burr duel.

Okay, so sources say that Aaron Burr loved his daughter. He made sure she was educated, taught her feminist values (even though he, himself, wasn't such a real feminist), etc. Her (his daughter, Theodosia) mother had already passed away. So why, in the name of G-d, did he go to the duel to kill Hamilton? Sources also say that he was prepping to actually fire at Hamilton. Either way (if he threw away his shot or let Hamilton shoot him), it'd impact her negatively—one, her father would die, leaving her an orphan. Or, two, he'd be a murderer, making her live in the shadow of a killer. If he loved his daughter, why did he go to the duel?

Even if it was an honor thing, people saw him preparing to kill Hamilton. He could've thrown away his shot like Hamilton. In fact, Hamilton had clearly stated to multiple people that he planned to throw it away. It's possible that Burr knew his plans.

I may not understand because I didn't live during his time. I may not understand because I don't have children. I may not understand for a multitude of reasons. But, I feel that if I was Theodosia, I'd be fuming.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. That is all, goodnight, farewell, I'll post whenever.

Then there's this book from 1907:

What, now?

How the author devotes so much time to their ancestry...

A timeline on Burr that includes the duel with J.B. Church but excludes the one with Hamilton???

Ouch.

So pissed rn. Everyone only remembers Aaron Burr for shooting Hamilton (who totally had it coming). Why can't we talk about how much he loved his daughter? Or his feminist ideals? Instead everyone talks about the duel or his supposed plan to conquer Mexico (WHICH WAS NEVER EVEN CONFIRMED IT WAS A CONSPIRACY THEORY) bc they just wanna keep painting him as a villain and ignore the fact that he was a very honorable person. He paid for the education of various children and wrote them into his will as his own; he let a DYING mother and child into his home and gave them food despite being total strangers to him; he believed women should have the same education as men, personally oversaw his daughter's education, and she ended up becoming the most educated woman of her time. He outlived his parents, sister, wife, multiple children, his GRANDSON, and his daughter whom he loved more than ANYTHING. So before you judge him based on ONE mistake he made in his lifetime, do some research.

#save elizabeth schuyler hamilton from male biographers 2024

Just got pissed off so bad. I'm in the middle of reading Burr, Hamilton, and Jefferson: A Study in Character, which presents an intriguing argument that Burr deserves to be put back into the Founding Father Pantheon, so to speak. The author doesn't shy away from hitting hard against the idea that Jeff & Ham were morally superior to Burr, and I was on board! Ready to go!

But then. During the discussion of the women in each of their lives, the author decides the best way to further promote Burr's attitude towards women compared to Jefferson and Hamilton is to disparage Martha Jefferson & Elizabeth Hamilton?

On Martha Jefferson:

Martha Wayles Skelton had been a widow, and none of Jefferson's biographers, even the resourceful Fawn Brodie, has been able to tell us much about her—from the solitary letter remaining to us in her hand or the accounts of their contemporaries—beyond the general impression that she was handsome, musical, and frail.

On Elizabeth Hamilton:

Hamilton's Elizabeth was an heiress, the daughter of an upstate squire, Philip Schuyler, with Livingston and van Rensselaer connections. She was plain, straightforward, loyal, and neurasthenic, endured his flagrant and frequent infidelities, and lived to the brink of the Civil War.

I'm sorry, I don't know enough about Martha J. to protest to her characterization, but I think I can say something about Eliza. Plain? Neurasthenic? And once again, annoyed at the lack of citation or evidence for flagrant and frequent infidelities - but putting that aside, even if it were true, I don't like how her staying in her marriage is subtly implied to be some failure or at least less interesting than a woman who didn't "endure" them. There's a lack of consideration of both her own strength & the societal circumstances of that time that would have influenced her actions.

On Theodosia:

Her character emerges from their large and fervent correspondence. She was confident, well connected, well read, beautiful even after a burn scarred her face, witty, worldly, and full of expectations of him.

Okay. The author saw the point and it sailed over his head. "From their large and fervent correspondence" is key here. Like I said earlier, I don't know enough about Martha Jefferson, but I bet that "handsome, musical, frail" is probably not an all-encompassing picture of her. The similarity between her and Eliza? We don't have the letters that they wrote to their husbands. It's unfair to judge Theodosia (don't get me wrong! she was well read and intelligent, that's not what i'm denying) from her correspondence with Burr, but then not acknowledge that the lack of that perspective would impact how we view the other two women.

And to top it all off:

Unlike Jefferson's and Hamilton's, Burr's character was molded by the love of a woman of immense force and intelligence.

Neither Hamilton nor Jefferson married a woman who evidenced such force of character and independence of view.

Jesus Christ. There's plenty to criticize about Jefferson & Hamilton, and I really wanted to see a well-reasoned argument about Burr's character and whatnot but this lacks nuance and is unnecessarily dismissive. It pisses me off that a book that seems determined to break down the idolized version of Hamilton, somehow ends up using his wife to further their angle, just like biased Hamiltonian biographies. In both cases, Eliza is the plain, unintelligent, steadfast wife. For sympathetic authors like Chernow, that's somehow justification for the Reynolds affair. For Roger G. Kennedy, that's used in an argument against her husband. "Let's talk attitude towards women! Hamilton & Jefferson didn't have intellectual wives! Point for Burr!"

I don't know nearly enough about Martha Jefferson to say anything of merit, but really?

To give credit where credit is due, I think Kennedy is trying to make the point here that Theodosia Bartow Burr was a major influence on Burr, as "Burr's character blossomed in the radiance of his wife and mentor". He also goes on to talk about various genuine reasons why Burr's attitude towards women is noteworthy. But I still don't like the way he dismissed the other two women as what? Not smart enough to help their husbands' characters blossom? Maybe there's merit to this book outside of this one section, The Women, but right now I'm not in the mood. Am I being dramatic? Idk.

#aughh i'm pissed so maybe i'm being too dramatic #idk let's post it on the internet for everyone to see. smart decision. #alexander hamilton #thomas jefferson #aaron burr #martha jefferson #elizabeth schuyler #elizabeth hamilton #theodosia bartow burr #historical hamilton #amrev #elizabeth schuyler hamilton
