Beer In Ads #1820: Kosciusko — “The Greatest Of The Poles”

February 13, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1914, No. 3 in another series they did in 1914-15 called the “National Heroes Series.” The third one features Tadeusz Kościuszko, who “was a Polish-Lithuanian military engineer and a military leader who became a national hero in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the United States. He fought in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth’s struggles against Russia and Prussia, and on the American side in the American Revolutionary War. As Supreme Commander of the Polish National Armed Forces, he led the 1794 Kościuszko Uprising.”

    And, as usual, Budweiser got it wrong again.

    Thaddeus Kosciusko (pronounced Koe SCHUS koe) was a nobleman of the Grand Duchy of LITHUANIA. But, as a patriot for all humanity, he fought for the freedom of Americans, and for the freedom of all Poles and Lithuanians, whether nobles or peasants. His revolutionary advocacy for the latter would engender the hate of the 1%-ers of the time, whose treachery would doom his campaign and eventually cost him his life.
