@ashleytheebarroness: My random rabbithole…All I wanted to know was where “temporary insanity” came from. I did not expect the answer to involve a congressman, his wife’s affair, the son of Francis Scott Key, a shooting by the White House, eight defense attorneys, and a leg that is STILL in a museum. History is exhausting. #americanhistory #cheaters #historicaldrama #historytok #fyp
They don’t care that he killed someone because a woman making a man look like an idiot was a much more egregious crime.

And of course he was going to have verdict of not guilty in 1859…. A jury of his peers would easily understand how a rich white man could become insane with rage since they too — were rich white men. 🙃a whole system created to protect each other.

This is typical behavior from cheaters. They are almost always serial cheaters and don't care at all how it makes their partner feel but when they find out the partner is cheating....all hell breaks loose.

Ashley, I appreciate the history you teach. I have learned so much and sadly, the strongest theme is white privilege. I have not personally experienced or witnessed it but it is real and it needs to stop. I was never taught this in school and am embarrassed by its existence.
