      The most emotion I’ve ever heard him give off is when he was talking about John Paul Jones when he sort of stutters a little. Other than that, a completely calm, almost monotone voice at all times from him.

      Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
      Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
      But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

      We still pay the 'Stamp tax' in the UK, we call it Stamp duty and whenever someone buys a house over a certain price they pay a % in tax towards the government. When David Cameron was Prime Minister he scrapped Stamp Duty for first time buyers in order to help them get onto the property ladder. Part of the Economic Covid relief efforts of the current Government they've frozen stamp duty all together so you don't have to pay it if you're buying a house till a later date.

    This is how I think history education should be, I'm serious. Just enough information for almost any person, unless you're really interested or you plan to become a historian.

So Howe starts writing letters adding on these faux titles (such as Esquire) to the letters but Washington never looks at any of them because they are not addressed to General Washington.
