We’re so damned stupid.
For the second year in a row progressives in America have taken to retroactively trying historical figures in the 2020-2021 social justice tribunals. All historical context is expunged and those in the dock are judged as if plucked off the streets this year rather than when they lived their lives hundreds of years ago, when a lot of other stuff was going on.
Now it is Hannah Duston who faces justice. There is a statue of her wielding an axe in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
Last year, every self-important progressive did what they could to declare their virtuousness loud and clear.
Judy Matthews took aim at Hannah Duston.
Here is the short version of Hannah Duston as reported by the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune.
"On March 15, 1697, Duston — or Dustin — and her nursemaid, Mary Neff, were captured in a raid on Haverhill near the end of King William’s War, a conflict among English colonists, French colonists and their Native American allies.
Duston was taken north to an encampment on an island in the Merrimack River in present-day Boscawen, New Hampshire. Along the way, the captors killed Duston’s 6-day-old daughter, according to historians, by dashing the baby’s head against a tree.
According to some contested accounts, after being told that she and her other captives would be “stripped, scourged and made to run a gauntlet while naked” once they arrived at another camp, Duston led an early morning revolt against her captors as they slept."
It was a horrific excursion and there are several versions of the story of bloody retribution in which Duston and company killed not just their captors, but most of their children, too.

It just occurred to me that if you lop the first letter off of your screen name . . . .
Great story. My family has a similar background. The Indians killed a bunch of us in Deerfield. We fought back.
400 years ago, or so.
I don’t carry an axe with me. And the natives haven’t gotten their revenge in the past few years. We’ve gotten over it and moved on.

Aww, too bad. White girl bleed a lot, her baby bleed a lot and die, white girl gets mad and gives back what she got.
She should know whites can never revolt against POC, who are superior in every way and never deserve any punishment.
King William’s War (1688-1697) is also known as the War of the League of Augsburg or the Nine Years War. In Germany’s Rhine Valley, there can be found to this day ruins of many castles and other buildings that were destroyed in that war.
Hannah is a family icon. We have a Hannah Dustin decanter that makes for great fun when toasting the conquest of New England!
They can attack her statue, but I can still pour a strong one in her honor.
>> In Germany’s Rhine Valley, [things] destroyed in that war.
To say King William’s War was trans-continental?
A single malt?
Heh. Staid Southern church ladies who go all edged-weapony are the worst.
It was actually global, with fighting in the Caribbean, India, Scotland and Ireland aw well as continental Europe and North America. However, the heaviest fighting was in the Spanish Netherlands (Belgium) and the Holy Roman Empire (Germany).
Unfortunately the scotch drinkers in the family fill her with Glenfiddich. Were it up to me, she’d be serving Basil Hayden.
