Well if somebody can’t read and understand their own cites, it’s a good bet they can’t read and understand the thread they’re responding to any better.

No kidding.

We really need a non-romanticized bio-pic about P.T. Barnum which features his purchase and exploitation of Joice Heth. This was the start of America’s adulation of conmen…and certainly not the end.

She was paid a LOT of $$-

Historian Eric Lott claimed Heth earned the impresario $1,500 a week, a princely sum in that era (equivalent to $47,000 in 2025).[9]

Does he think Heth was the impresario?
