I feel like you’re lying, but I don’t know enough about middle names to dispute it.
Although, Washington didn’t have a mustache. That means SOMEONE was the first president to have a mustache.
And there’s never been a president with purple hair. Harris, I’m lookin’ at you. Be bold!

That means SOMEONE was the first president to have a mustache.
Oddly enough that was ALSO John Quincy Adams…
Ok. Not really. He was the first to have sideburns.
Lincoln was the first to have a beard.
Grant was the first to haa mustache.

OK what was it then? I’ve heard him being called John Quincy S. Adams at a local museum. Do you know what the S stands for?

While looking up what his middle name was, I learned that the tradition of middle names did not become widespread in the US until the 1830s. Interesting.

What I want to know is what’s up with two-name first names like Mary Jo or Betty Lou. Did that happen before or after the invention of middle names?

I wonder if this is a possible explanation for the mandela effect
WldFyre@lemm.ee 7 months ago
There’s already an explanation for the Mandela effect, it’s that our memories are extremely fallible and more affected by our view/environment as opposed to facts than most people believe.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 7 months ago
Still, this could have possibly made a mini localised Mandela effect

People walking in from parallel dimensions to mess with others? Likely.

Sounds like what George Washington would’ve been called if he’d been a great dancer.

My AP history teacher liked to make up stuff. But like, he’d say he made it up right after telling the made-up thing.

Primary sources make shit up too tho
Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
But if you read a primary source, that’s one persom who had the opportunity to make stuff up. With a secondary source, even if the primary it’s based on is legit, there’s some other guy who wasn’t there and may either be lying to you or misinterpreting the primary source his report is based on. Each new level of isolation adds another opportunity to stack both lies and mistakes onto the data.
It’s not that you can’t go wrong with primary sources. It’s that you can go a lot wronger without them.
