    Also I believe her last words were apologizing to the executioner when she stepped on his foot. I think people weep at this because it reminds them of the execution of Lady Jane Grey (the painting).

    it all gives me “grand great grandfather did nothing wrong on the cuban slave-life plantation and they shot him anyways” and “all lives matter” energy to me; trying to re-write history and i’m afraid that they’re succeeding.

      It is such an interesting thing to be hung up on. So she apologized to one guy before she died, that doesn’t negate all the terrible stuff she did.
