I wonder what happened in the 1890s to scare that many left-handed people back into hiding..

My late 70's experience probably didn't help. My first grade teacher tied my left hand to the desk. The next year they stopped doing that. I later found out the school district lost a long ongoing lawsuit and it hit them where they kept their heart. In the wallet.

My grandmother had her left hand tied to her high chair or behind her back by her mother before she even went to school. People are fucked up.

I've heard the stories. Thing is some of the most creative people I've ever met were left handed.

Ain't that what they say? That creative people are left-handed? 😁

That's the general thing yeah, but I'm pretty sure that they were already doing that BEFORE the dip..
