Random City by Leticia Lampert

In Brazilian based designer Leticia Lampert‘s series, pictures of different places are mixed together tricking the viewer’s eyes when trying to identify where is it from. although the collage is intentionally evident, it is hard to tell where one place begins and the other ends. This combination, sometimes carefully planned, sometimes random, highlights the idiosyncrasies of so many cities that have gone through a rapid growth or periods of colonization that, later on, reappears in a spontaneous auto-colonialism lead by architecture trends and development desires.

hey, so this question has been bugging me ever since i listened to hamilton. after the duel with lee, what punishment did john face? did he face any punishment at all? (i know hamilton didn't actually get sent home because of the duel and the musical timeline is iffy but i thought you'd be a reliable source)

Considering he got invited to christmas dinner with Washington two days later, I’m inclined to say he wasn’t punished and I’m not sure why the musical implies that anyone would’ve been.

Dueling wasn’t illegal, and it wasn’t rare. Even the higher-ups like General Gates had duels when tensions got political. While it was considered barbarous in most circles, it was a gentleman’s final phase of conflict resolution where personal honor came into play and nothing else could bring satisfaction to their disagreements.

Washington wouldn’t call a duel against Lee himself because he had too much reputation to maintain and Lee still had influential friends. He might’ve not been pleased that his inner circle, including General Steuben and Lt. Col Laurens, were calling duels against him, but he probably wasn’t too upset that Laurens was doing it on his behalf.
