#1 (Personal) Who's your favorite Founding Father?
Hrrm... Probably... Edward Rutledge for obvious reasons. Really obvious reasons. He's just above Richard Henry and Francis Lightfoot Lee. I'm partial to the whole Southern delegation, really. Partial to the South in general. Then there's James Madison. Squishy baby. Don't like Aaron Burr, though. He's an ass.
#2 (Personal) What would you do if you got sent back in time?
Hope I could get a passable cover story and probably cry a lot. If it was colonial America, I would invert in on myself, cry, hope Ruth was with me, and marry into a wealthy Southern family. Life goals.
#3 (Personal) What is your favorite movie/show set in Colonial America?
Hmmmmm... John Adams *cue the immaculate chorus*, TURN, 1776, those are all super good. The Patriot was pretty swell despite some serious inaccuracies, and I'm still trying to find the name of the show where Alexander Hamilton got his shirt ripped open by a bayonet. Watched that in class and I cried. John Adams was amazing. It's definitely my favorite for accuracy. TURN... TURN is legitimately one of the few shows I watch besides The Blacklist, Sleepy Hollow, and Hannibal, and the awesomeness it possesses is unparalleled by anything on television, I swear on me mum. 1776 was my childhood. We would watch it in History every year at the end of the year. Johnny Tremaine is a classic near and dear to my heart. Special shout out to Liberty's Kids, for sparking my love of the Revolution, and Sons of Liberty, for giving me Ryan Eggold in a frock coat.
#4 (Personal) Have you ever lived outside of Virginia?
I was born in New Jersey and lived there for one year and visit it often for family get togethers, lived in South Carolina for 17 years, and am currently residing in Virginia for 4 years now. South Carolina and Virginia are so much better than New Jersey, no offense to anyone from New Jersey.
