”MLK Jr. is Not Who You Think He is”: We Didn’t Know These Historical Figures Were Incredibly Problematic Until Now

Well, Patrick Henry is the “Give me liberty or give me death” guy, right? Turns out he was also the “Give my wife the basement or give her a mental hospital” guy. Talk about taking DIY too far! Sure, those old-timey mental hospitals were grim, but chaining up your spouse in the basement? 

That’s a whole new level of “home improvement.” It’s not hard to be inspired by Mr. Henry’s impassioned cries for freedom, but he might have had a little too much creative liberty when it came to his wife’s living quarters. Being locked up in your own house is hardly freedom.
