Before the secret ballot, you walked up at the courthouse and said your vote out loud, and the candidate you picked stood up and thanked you. Kentucky did it until 1891. Would you vote out loud? #History #Voting #Elections Full sources: shadowfetchstudio.com/shorts…

1758: George Washington's campaign for Virginia's House of Burgesses served roughly 160 gallons of rum, punch, wine, beer and cider to 391 voters. A 1705 law already banned it. Hospitality, or buying votes? #History #Voting #USHistory Full sources: shadowfetchstudio.com/shorts…

1936: the Literary Digest mailed about 10 million ballots and predicted Landon. George Gallup, with a far smaller sample, said Roosevelt. Final: 523 to 8. Bigger sample or better sample? #History #Polling #Elections Full sources: shadowfetchstudio.com/shorts…

After taking Constantinople in 1453, Mehmed II took the empire's title too: Kayser-i Rûm, "Caesar of Rome." A Venetian medal calls him "great emperor" in Latin. Should he count as a Roman emperor? #History #OttomanEmpire shadowfetchstudio.com/shorts…

April 1453: a chain across the Golden Horn kept Mehmed II's fleet out of Constantinople's harbour. So his men hauled about 70 ships over the hill behind Galata, on greased timbers. Boldest move of the siege, or overrated? #History #Constantinople shadowfetchstudio.com/shorts…

Around 100 CE, at a Roman fort in northern Britain, Claudia Severa invited her friend to her birthday. A scribe wrote it; she added in her own hand: "I shall expect you, sister." Some of the oldest known Latin by a woman. #History #RomanBritain shadowfetchstudio.com/shorts…
