Friends of Liberty: Thomas Jefferson, Tadeusz Kosciuszko, and Agrippa Hull; A Tale of Three Patriots, Two Revolutions, and a Tragic Betrayal of Freedom in the New Nation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gary B. Nash and Graham Russell Gao Hodges have used three intertwined biographies to craft a story of the American Revolution and its confrontation with slavery. Agrippa Hull was a free African American born in Massachusetts; Tadeusz Kosciuszko, the second son of a Polish petty noble family; and Thomas Jefferson—well, he needs no introduction. All three participated in the Revolution: Kosciuszko as a brilliant military engineer; Hull as his orderly; and Jefferson as the author of the Declaration of Independence and governor of Virginia. After the war Hull returned to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where he worked for a local elite family and patiently built a stable and successful life. Kosciuszko returned to Europe, where he led the failed Polish independence movement of 1794. An international hero, but gravely wounded, Kosciuszko was imprisoned in Russia until a new czar, Paul I, released him in 1796. He arrived in Philadelphia in 1797, where he lived for a year, became close friends with Jefferson, and claimed his revolutionary back pay.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
