Inappropriate Tweets from History

What if Twitter were thousands of years old?
Vickie Toro Created by  Vickie Toro  

Twitter is a magical place where haters hate, lovers love, and nerds get their daily fill of pseudo-socialization. But sometimes those pesky trending hashtags meant to bring us all together only hurt our feelings, or incite internet wars where the only casualties are grammar and dignity.

So we had to wonder...what other historical events could have been even more controversial with just the right [wrong] hashtag?

Elizabethan Era
