The same could be said about his stance on Slavery. He was against it but not enough to not marry into a rich slave-owning family. I think he even helped with the buying of slaves for his father-in-law, maybe even bought one for Eliza and himself.
"It's the sexy song; we get to talk about sexy things." I had to stop so I could giggle and then rewind because this line is just so cute when he says it.
I love that you covered the possibility that the affair might have been a cover for worse financial dealings and that eliza might have had a part in making sure his version of events persisted. I have watched too many reactions to the scene that just take Hamilton's version of events uncritically even though so much of the point of the play is the notion of controlling your legacy.
Yeh 100%, no offense but it is so sus that they found no financial issues...even just accidental issues are hard to find... It makes it look like it was intentionally scrubbed. Eliza was from the schuyler family...I am sure they had their own misdeeds or mistakes over the year.

reframing some scenes from her perspective was actually kind of remarkable, it really nailed the panic of the whole situation. Kind of like, by putting her in all these "grown-ups fighting" moments, the fact that she doesn't understand what's going on kind of makes us realize we don't understand, and neither do Hamilton or the Reynolds'. This is a fundamentally unstable and fast-paced situation
This guy seems like he actually has a pretty good grasp about maria's side, i almost wish he explained what he meant that she denied her claim and if there was any evidence she could have to also help counter hamilton's, i mean its only fair
12:06 This is Maria Reynolds daughter. James forced her to have the kid when she was 15. The whole reason she did the affair was because James threatened to kill Marias daughter if she didn’t do it.
For the adams administration I recommend listening to the long version that was cut from the play wise it has a lot more of John Addams slander from hamilton
Something I love about this song is how Hamilton's literary voice changes for it. In Act 1 he really leaned into the scrappy talking and the aggressive affect. Now in Act 2, he's practically an aristocrat. He's a classed man, and his speech becomes more toned down. And right here where we're hearing HIS obviously skewed version of the affair where he has to act all innocent and helpless to his financial peers, suddenly his voice is extremely calm and humble and he specifically contrasts it with James' voice, which has even more air behind it and sounds like a slight exaggeration. He's kind of forgotten where he came from and is using the rhetoric of class against his enemies. Not to say James was a cool guy, from what I've heard he was a real shithead to Maria
Her getting the more "complicated" word right and the easy ones wrong is really familya to me. I have dyslexia, a condition that compromises my spelling (got lucky since I only have a mild version if it). I too strugled with getting the easy words wrong when I was little, but the more complicated words never where a problem. A lot of practice kinda helped with that. So I asume there is the possibility that she might have been in the same situation as I was.
That sounds really interesting!! My parents probably won't let me read something like that tho :p They don't know I know what s*x is ( Oh my God do I wish they were right)
As much as I can't wait until Cabinet Battle 2, can you react to the off Broadway recording for schuyler defeated and let it go? It doesn't really add much, but let it go is funny.
Insider trading didn't become a punishable crime until the 20th century. And many of the founding fathers made government policy that would not go against their own financial interests. So accusing Hamilton of insider trading isn't really that big of a bombshell against him. Embezzlement is a far greater crime at the time, and Hamilton is most likely not guilty of that according to the evidence.
Would Hamilton have been trying to cover up insider trading when it wasn’t technically illegal till 1934? I know we even passed “Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act” in 2012 to further combat government officials from practicing this behavior.
If Maria's version of this affair differs from Alexanders, then hers is probably closer to the truth. We have assumed that the ''gentleman''s version of situations like this is true for long enough ;)
Why is this song so sexy, I mean it's about an affair, which isn't, but Jazz's voice mixed with Lin's is just ....well, it's hot! Great information. I still believe the Hamilton narrative, but definitely think Mariah set him up. You need to do 'Congratulations', which was tragiclly cut from the play.
I don't know if somebody already told you, but the little girl that walked in on them doing the "it" was Maria's daughter. I don't know if that actually happened in real life but the animator added it themselves, it wasn't in the musical with real people.
At least in my humble opinion, regardless of whether it was Hamilton telling the truth or Reynolds, Maria was always going to be at a disadvantage. I can’t imagine the type of things women must have had to do in order to ensure their security back then. If she really was just trying to escape her abusive husband and happened to find comfort in another man, I still can’t help but sympathize with her a bit even if it was wrong for her to do. Because that still means she was abused, only to have the man she ran to for support turn around and describe her lowest moments in excruciating detail just to save his own reputation. Like obviously she still shouldn’t have slept with him even if that was the case, but I can understand what might have lead her to do it. On the other hand, if it all really was a trick and she was in on it, I don’t think she would have had much of a choice anyways. She was still merely the subservient wife of James Reynolds, who didn’t seem to be a very good of a person. He still had all the power over her. If that really was the case, James Reynold’s probably held some sort of leverage over her in order to convince her to trick Hamilton into sleeping with her and then giving compensation for it, as if she’s damaged property. I just can’t imagine her participating in such a distasteful plan willingly. Plus she divorced him afterwards, so it’s not like they were some crazy Bonnie and Clyde scammer duo. Idk, basically what I’m saying is that no matter what the truth is, I still feel for her :/
It’s definitely a fun one. There’s a few lines in there that are incredibly powerful that were cut from the final version we got. I actually like the one from the show best, but I love First Burn too.
i feel like burn is better because eliza is a warm-hearted person and phillipa shows great emotion to what was going on. all that stuff that they were talking about in first burn just doesn’t go with the situation as much. the original cast is the best to me. i don’t care much for the other shows
I know when referring to Maria when put context of the plotting against Hamilton, seems like she just did it for the money. But Maria WAS abused. She was a victim of domestic violence. Hamilton, as a politician from New York was a representative of some sorts, and you have to remember, at that time, New York was much much smaller. So as some sort of representative to the city, people could come to you with their problems. I know it looks like Maria was in against Hamilton, but If there was an affair, it is most likely that she came to Hamilton for help asking for a way out of the abusive relationship and Hamilton as a representative could have given her money and rent her a room or something. BUT, INSTEAD, he took advantage of a helpless women, at her most vulnerable time, and used her. And as a man at those times, the narrative he had presented to society, where Maria practically threw herself at him, seduction him, was the narrative that got accepted. I DO AGREE that she was in one way or another involved either pre-affair or during, in the scheme. But I think aside from that, there was a lot of truth in her actions. Maria was a poor that did a lot of things to survive, but she needed help.
Exactly! I don’t know if you have watched the Comedienne Katherine Ryan, but if you haven’t. Got to ua-cam.com/video/8kpL8C9r_GI/v-deo.html It is a brilliant argument she makes about how Hamilton, a man who was in the position of power, should have actually helped her as local representative. Not taken her to bed. It is brilliant!
@@Chrisyt272 I agree! I actually watched a while ago and it just gave me a whole new way to look at the situation. Thank for the recommendation though!
Honestly, I think an alternative version of the musical where Mariah has more focus on her would be great. It's a little odd that his emotional affair with Angelica which affects nothing gets more time than his physical affair with Mariah which affects everything within the universe of the play.
Ok i Braley got started watching this video but I feel the urge to say I like the nails I seen them and got excited lol ok going to watch the video now
Absolutely love your nails!! Idk if someone’s you asked this before or not, but do you do them yourself? Or does someone else get to do it for you? Either way, they’re stunning and I’m quite frankly jealous of your nail art! 😂💜

I just wanna say this videos are amazing especially the Hamilton ones (hamil fan here) but can I just say I would love to see your reaction to other works of historical fiction such as Hamilton .😁
Ok so i commented the same shit a few times..buuuut.. have you seen the old Washington mini series? What do you think about it? I noticed that Lin used some stuff from there. 😁
After watching this I just hate hamilton even more and feel so bad for maria! I mean it seems like hamilton kinda framed maria. He made it seem like it was all her foult. I hate alexander hamilton :p

To be honest, I have the whole Hamilton song list on my Spotify, but I deleted this song from the list. I just really don't like this song, it's my least favorite part of the musical. I don't skip this part in the actual musical, but if I don't have to listen to this song, I won't. It's just a matter of preference, I guess.

Love the nails
Omg i just noticed :O
I just love so much how you hold your birdie like a microphone
The animator gave Maria a black eye during the beginning and hid it til she got home
Yeah bc james abused her :(
Peridot really just be your microphone huh? 🎤

Reynolds invoking the man in her life leaving is a direct appeal to Hamilton's childhood family life.
