Facts about James Madison Vol. 1

(Because I’m bored and everyone should be enlightened with some James Madison)

James Madison walked with a small spring in his step, considerably to make himself appear slightly taller than he was

Because of the soggy and mushy climates surrounding William and Mary College in Williamsburg, James Madison instead went to the College of New Jersey (Princeton) for his health

James Madison, along with Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, created the Republican Party (also known as the Democratic Republican Party or Jeffersonian Republican Party) in 1792

James Madison’s wife Dolley Payne was gifted a pet parrot named Polly— who was notorious for being aggressive towards humans (thus biting Madison’s finger in front of guests during one occasion)

James Madison personally knew Aaron Burr and Philip Freneau ever since they were all in college

James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, reported by a girl walking down the street, could once be seen playing with a neighbor’s pet monkey

James Madison had a long-lasting five decade friendship with Thomas Jefferson

James Madison would eventually have a fall-out with not only Alexander Hamilton, but also George Washington over the belief of federal government and a national bank by the early 1790’s

While Thomas Jefferson in France, he and James Madison would enjoy measuring animals, comparing them to their counterparts (North American animals compared to their similar species in Europe), and telling each other of their findings

James Madison, while he was in college, would last on a five-hour sleep schedule due to studying until he collapsed from a breakdown (this made him stay at the college for an extra year to restore his weakened health)

James Madison had never been good with marital relationships (being allegedly rejected by Freneau’s sister Mary and dumped by Kitty Floyd in the 1780s), but eventually married the 26 year-old widow Dolley Payne in 1794

James Madison was a MASSIVE fan of ice cream, along with his wife Dolley, whose favorite flavor was oyster

Thank u Dolley

The REAL face of James Madison based upon his 1825 life mask cast by John Henry Isaac Browere. The reconstructed life mask has been placed on a period dress body. Madison stated of his life mask,  Per request of Mr. Browere, busts of myself and of my wife, regarded as exact likenesses, have been executed by him in plaister, being casts made from the moulds formed on our persons, of which this certificate is given under my hand at Montpelier, 19, October, 1825.” yarbs.net

Dolley don’t you think James had a bit of a point? I mean why would you raise your child to think James abandoned you for Thomas whenever he didn’t want you to be in an almost loveless relationship? Also how would he have know that you were pregnant, you never hinted to him or anything not even reaching out! you never told the child the truth you lied to your pride and joy since the beginning of their life! Shouldn’t you feel even a bit bad?

Dolley sighed with annoyance:

-I never once lied to Josephine about me and James. You see the day James left me is the day I found out I was pregnant. Just as I about to tell James about my pregnancy he told me he loved someone else that someone else being his current husband Thomas (Note the annoyance in her voice) and James was so happy that I couldn’t tell him the truth. I knew our relationship had its ups and downs but as Miss Martha Jefferson used to say when she was alive “I’m too stubborn and prideful to let the things I love go” and I tried so hard to fix things I really did but when James told me he was leaving me i couldn’t hold it anymore at first I blamed Thomas for stealing James from me so i showed my anger by letters I send him (What Post Dolley speaking of) but than James found the letters I sent to Thomas that’s when I realized Thomas wasn’t the one to blame it’s was non other than James itself and when it come to the so called “lies” I told my daughter were not lies. Whenever Josephine asked about James I just told her about our fights and how I found out I was pregnant the same day James left me I didn’t say anything more than that she was the one who believed what she heard.

(Oh sorry let me do an alternate one right now)

Caroline:

Oh Thanks da-

Caroline looks at the letter for a bit

James:

-What is it?

Caroline:

-Dad…this is a letter for papa from someone called Dolley Payne Todd Madison?

“..oh yea my ex wife..” *James mumbles as he gives the actual letter Caroline had been looking for to her*

I just went to Montpelier :)

It was amazing. They also have the best exhibit explaining slavery that I've seen.

Hello! You can call me Angelo:) I'm 18 and about to head into university to study a bachelor of arts major in history! This is my side blog that I'm hoping to start as an archive for my autism rambles (history++)! I cover mostly early American politics + some other eras/areas. I do not condone the historical figures' actions. They are real people whom have walked this earth. I simply find them extremely fascinating. Here are the historical figures I will mostly post about. Bold are special interests. - Alexander Hamilton - Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (tag will be shorted to Lafayette) - John Laurens & family - John André - George & Martha Washington - Thomas & Martha Jefferson - James & Dolley Madison - James Monroe - Nathan Hale - Benjamin Tallmadge - Napoleon II

fingers crossed that I finally figured out how tumblr markdown works after several years. anyways! love you guys, hopefully i can post my rambles and you guys will like them! edit: nvm tumblr markdown hates me fr
