In the 1800’s, Pineapples were such a status symbol that you could rent one for the evening to take to a party, and people needed to have one in their paintings. People would save up for them, and carry them around until they rotted.
During the Civil War in 1861, a slave named Robert Smalls stole a Confederate ship and took it to the Union. He was given command of a different ship, rose to General, then purchased his ex-owner’s house. He then became literate and served 5 years in Congress.
