Although it predates the Civil War, I can't help but mention one of the most fascinating characters in the fight for freeing the slaves. I've always absolutely loved history and been passionate about it since elementary school, especially American History, but the name John Brown was one I didn't learn until much more recently. He was a radical abolitionist that certainly has no problem with using violence to accomplish his goals or die trying, as he eventually did. Quentin Tarantino has long been rumored to be planning a movie based on John Brown, which would be fascinating. Do yourself a favor and read about John Brown or find a podcast about him.
On another note, I recently had the opportunity to acquire a razor I've been listing after for years, a Schick Injector Type F. Much like the Streamline, I fell in love with the Type F in u/120inna55 's incredible SOTD photos. For those of you who don't know, inna is no longer with us. His wife has dropped by a few times, most recently just a few days ago to let is know that Murphy and McNeil had a food amount of inna's former hardware and software on sale. I was amazed to find not one but 2 of his 3 of his Type F's still available, although someone beat me to the cases one. It feels really cool to not only finally own this razor, but to actually own one of the ones that made me want one so bad. I did my best to take a SOTD photo in his style.
Challenge: Here is my meme. I never have much luck coming up with one when I have to.
