Source argument
Squires presents the rebellion as a major early test of federal authority and emphasizes frontier resentment and its cultural afterlife.
Evidence map
Researcher synthesis
Use as a discovery and popular-memory source. The existing Slaughter analysis should anchor chronology and political complexity. Include portrait lore if clearly labelled; a modern photograph cannot authenticate an eighteenth-century origin.

Assessment
Uncited numbers, sweeping class/population claims, oversimplified causal language and campaign chronology require source-level checking. Repeal involved legislation, not simply a president conceding another person's defeat. All three images reviewed; an image's production date and provenance must still be checked before treating it as contemporary evidence.
Compare each proposed historical claim against Slaughter and primary records. Verify origin of inverted-portrait tradition independently; preserve it as lore until then.
Embedded-media assessment
Three images reviewed: a military-scene painting with modern headline overlay, an insurrection illustration reproduced with rotated accompanying print, and an upside-down portrait above Liberty Pole bottles. These are representations and modern commemorative display, not proof of casualties, troop numbers, exact chronology or an eighteenth-century origin for the portrait custom. The article’s NYPL attribution is retained but artwork date and provenance are not independently authenticated; small reproduced print is not used as a new historical authority.
