I would watch a six-hour long documentary on Gouverneur Morris, a staunch anti-slavery Founding Father who maybe lost his leg escaping from the enraged husband of a woman with whom he was canoodling. https://twitter.com/ryanmederATL/status/1277954598108647425
There’s a famous John Jay quote in which he learns that Morris lost his leg and writes to Morris to say he was "tempted to wish" that Morris "had lost something else”. Gouverneur Morris was next-level dedicated to the practice of canoodling.
My dude died from an infection after he tried to perform surgery on his own penis using a piece of whalebone, we stan a weird anti-slavery legend
His death was called “short but distressing” by a local newspaper which… yeah. http://www.rarenewspapers.com/view/565867
