I’m so glad to hear you say that you didn’t know about Harper’s Ferry before going because I didn’t either! Becoming an adult has been one long disillusionment re: my original American history education. And of course I’m so excited to read about this trip in particular — as I told you, it’s like watching friends read a book you love & being so glad they love it too.
Everyone dumps on the South for the inaccurate portrayal of the Civil War, but depending on the school district, it didn't matter. Reconstruction was made into a joke by our teacher. The Klan-friendly revisionism from Birth of a Nation affected northern states as well. The KKK had a mouthpiece in Zarephath New Jersey, a Christian cult town. And we had multiple American Bund camps that were raided by the FBI when the U.S. joined WW2.
Mando transporting the amphibian woman and her eggs was one of my favorites, too, though it was because Grogu kept sneakily eating eggs and it was one of those perfect notes about Mando having to be a normal dad that made that show unique.

Thanks for the shout out as well!

It was rather wholesome, wasn't it?
