+Evan “Irish” Nesbitt funny story: i wanted to know if I was related to someone cool, so I asked my mom and she said I'm his brothers 8 th cousin. I did not know who he was at the time.
i'm pretty sure rap didn't exist back then, but there was poetry. And even then, John Laurens was kind of an artist and Hercules Mulligan never met John so
Rose Fae It's not true, actually. Freestyle beat poetry did exist back then, and it was very popular among college students. It wasn't rap as we know it, but it did happen.
I like how he addressed it and didn't leave people wondering why he did it. He is just an amazing person and I wish to work side by side with him one day. This guy is a role model.
Well, even if Mr. Miranda didn't push the sons away, all three of them who survived infancy were fifteen, twelve, and seven at the time their sister Eliza met and married Alexander Hamilton. Chances are Angelica still would've been pressured to "marry rich" in the event that none of her brothers either lived long enough to get married or even wanted to get married at all.
I had hoped that Hamilton would be 100% historically accurate but when I found the numerous historical inaccuracies, I found i didn't care. Hamilton stays true to the spirit of the founding fathers and their ideals and every change he makes is to tell a better story. I think It can be seen as more of an "adaptation" of his life rather than a biography and ultimately in an adaptation is supposed to make changes to fit the changes that come with it while staying true to the themes of the original. I think Hamilton does a spectacular job of that.
Exactly. The words are already going by so fast for a broadway show, it would take hours more to include every single detail. Its quite ingenious what they do sometimes. For example, Aaron Burr was not Charles Lee's second but was James Monroe's in a duel against hamilton and argued that the two shouldn't because Duels were "childish" and was convinced of "an amicable course". He also didn't leak the Reynolds affair to the papers, although it was implied in the Musical. But people think he was the one who leaked that smackdown of John Adams.
Also the show wouldn't be as good I think. It'd be really difficult to make a great show and be 100% accurate, I think he could still make the show the same length with no problem, but not be able to make such a good story, just because of little things like Mulligan and Laurens never meeting, he'd have to change the whole dynamic of the show.
CJWrites True!! And so many people have done research after seeing the play and can go back and really appreciate the stuff that is accurate and catch what lines in the song reference some things that did happen. And if your already a history buff, you can still really love and enjoy it
“History is different based on our accounts.” And that’s a main point of the musical. You also can’t come in expecting a musical/drama being 100% accurate.
Except the facts he took creative license on are that, facts, not up for interpretation he just simply decided to rewrite history because it suited his play more
His point about seeing the different accounts in Helpless and Satisfied to show how history is different depending on who tells it seems like an argument for Ten Things One Thing. I love the cast album the way it is, of course, but when I heard that, it seemed to make everything fit.
Honestly I don't have a problem with this. It makes more sense dramatically, and that's that. What honestly does annoy me is his changes to the Election of 1800. It makes Aaron Burr look much more despicable than he really is: Aaron Burr was Thomas Jefferson's runningmate, and wasn't campaigning against him. Because of the way the electoral college worked at the time, there was a (basically inevitable) tie, and only then did Aaron Burr seek the presidency. The play makes it look like the Election of 1800 was Burr vs Jefferson, when in fact it was for the most part Adams vs Jefferson, with a huge fiasco at the end that exposed the problems with the electoral college. (not that people shouldn't have seen it coming. Hamilton tried his best to completely abuse the system to get some random guy he liked--Thomas Pinckney--as president in the election of 1796. That's a fantastic story and I'm kinda sad it never made its way into the musical.)
Right! But the two parts that grind my gears that are themes throughout the entire play, yet are both SEVERELY wrong are that 1) hamilton was an immigrant and 2) hamilton was against slavery and Jefferson was pro slavery. Because 1) Hamilton was a white dude on a British territory, you wouldn't say someone moving from Florida in the early 1800s to Main was an immigrant 2) Alexander hamilton literally bought and sold slaves, he might have even OWNED them. And Jefferson tried abolishing slavery earlier, but Washington told him no.
I kinda wish that the musical showed some emphasis on Hamiltons friendship with Mulligam, since he had lived with him when he moved to New York. Mulligan had also actually sparked Hamiltons want for revolution. But everyone tends to pay attention more to lams. :""")
To be honest, Satisfied is the reason that I ship Angelica/Hamilton. I don't give a shit about history; within the context of the play, they are soulmates to me. I really want to see how Helpless and Satisfied are performed on the stage.
another thing that was wrong is that Hamilton did not meet Mulligan, Lafayette or john and burr in the same place. Mulligan helped show Hamilton around when he first came here and John and Lafayette meet in the war.
In the earliest versions of My Shot, Hamilton would've just been with Mulligan with no Burr, Laurens, or Lafayette. While Burr obviously gets introduced in Aaron Burr Sir, Laurens and Lafayette would need their own songs to introduce them presumably after or during Right Hand Man if you're being historical, but then thats less time to establish the brotherly bond of these characters and you're adding more songs on what eventually be a 3+ hour play. Makes sense that got condensed into Aaron Burr Sir and My Shot.
Whenever peeps fuss over any inaccuracies. 1: the book is MASSIVE, to fit the entire book would take ten hours or more And 2; artistic freedom does exist. The video says this yes but just stating
ok but i read something that said 'satisfied' should have gone to laurens, or been a duet between angelica and laurens, and now i can't not think that that would have been so much better
true, because in the letters hamilton and laurens exchanged, its explicitly stated that they probably had a relationship lol. so both angelica and laurens were probably slightly upset at the wedding, although laurens wouldn't have made it to be at the wedding
Well, as much as there is loads of flirting in the letters from Alexander's side, Laurens was never really affectionate towards Hamilton. I'd even go to say, it was just a onesided crush from ALEX'S side so.
@@_pnika there wasnt much back from laurens' side because A) he was raised in a traditonal and conservative household and so was more practical and realistic about the scenario. alex was raised in the carribean where people were more blunt and free and B) the majority of laurens' letters were destroyed so nobody really knows how he felt, however from what is available it can be seen that he reciprocates the feelings even if he isnt as blunt about the whole thing as alex was
I can't be the only one thinking that Lin is like...almost a reincarnation of Alexander, right? Like...c'mon, I swear... Words are failing me but I don't care~ Also, ahem, their birthdays are about 5 or 6 days apart :D
I mean, if reincarnation is real thing that happens after death, it wouldn't surprise me. It seems like a Hamilton thing to do to get his story out because no one knows he is
Lin has said in interviews that he had trouble deciding whether he wanted to play Alexander Hamilton or Aaron Burr. In the end, he decided he wanted to be Hamilton because he said that he felt as if he had carried the same beliefs as Burr his entire life. So even he himself said he can relate more to Burr. I wish I could find the specific interview where he said this, but I don't remember. If I find it I'll be sure to let you know.
Plus, when he performed it a few years back for the president, he performed it from burr's point if view. But, I personally think he fits Hamilton better because of the way he performs. Leslie's voice fits Burr's character more than Lin's and he just..seems like Aaron Burr..
Kierra Hope Maybe that's why he only showed the Burr vs Hamilton duel from Burr's view? Originally he did have Hamilton's thoughts on what was going on during the setup of the duel before they shot. Like, Burr says he thinks Hamilton was wearing his glasses to take deadly aim, but in the outtake, Hamilton says he wears them to see the look of Burr's face or something like that
Rashomon Effect: The Rashomon effect is a term related to the notorious unreliability of eyewitnesses. It describes a situation in which an event is given contradictory interpretations or descriptions by the individuals involved. That's how history has always been told.
History is about perspective. Historians write based on what ever research is available. Rarely do we get to experience a person's every move, therefore there is room for flaws, and as these are further revealed we "update" and/or correct prior held beliefs, i.e. DNA now sheds new light on the Jefferson/Hemings story. Life is subjective and so is this play. Mr. Miranda is using a creative license to present an adaptation of a well known historical figure. It is our job to leave the theater and objectively learn true accounts of Hamilton's life through books, records at museums and through the Library of Congress or the National Archives in New York or Washington D. C. ; where you will still find inaccuracies of history written by the very person you, the researcher, went to investigate. Historians wrote school textbooks for the course of the 20th century that all African Americans were slaves and we had no part in making America beyond that gateway, yet thousands lived free from 17th century Colonial America onward( read Paul Heinegg studies of Colonial Virginia, Elizabeth Key Grinstead or Joe Mozingo's The Fiddler on Pantico Run, etc.). History is marred with inaccuracies.
Angelica and him are like soul mates Makes my heart complete to hear that come for Lin Sorry if offend anyone but like I listened to Satisfied first (for some reason) so I feel a huge amount of pity and sympathy for Angelica. I can also relate to that situation. So every moment they have gets me excited
U N K N O W N in another interview he was talking about stuff like that and said "it's the story of America then, told by America now. So it's going to look and sound like America now." The point wasn't to be completely accurate in everything, but to tell a story in a way that its audience would best understand it, which means using the language we use now.
Another historical inaccuracy is when Philip Hamilton says 'I have a sister but I want a little brother.' He already had 3 younger brothers when his first sister is born. He then gets another brother and another younger sister.
This show has me looking into the man and one of the many interesting things I find in the show is, at one point, Hamilton calls Burr "his oldest friend'. I find no proof that they were ever friends. It's true, Hamilton wanted to finish Princeton as quickly as Burr had and in the time just post American Revolution (1783), they were 2 of the finest lawyers in NYC, often ending up on opposing sides of cases. But there doesn't seem to be the same degree of respect between them that existed, say, between Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, whom, despite being ideologically opposed on every issue, said of Hamilton after his fatal duel, that they had "thought well" of each other and that Hamilton was a "singular character" of "acute understanding", a man who had been "disinterested, honest and honerable". Burr, on the other hand, Hamilton described as "dangerous". I can see why Miranda would take artistic license with that part of the story, though: it's a more dramatic pay-off in the end if the show leads you to believe that Hamilton would, based on their histories, favor Burr over Jefferson in the presidential election of 1800 so he plays up the idea of friendship between Hamilton and Burr which, in reality, is probably pure fabrication and plays up an animosity between Hamilton and Jefferson, which was probably at least partially true.
+Douglas Rau I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that after their infamous duel and Hamilton's subsequent death, Burr would speak of Hamilton as "My friend Hamilton, whom I shot."
No, they were friends to a degree even though they didn't always see eye to eye. Phillip Schuyler losing his Senatorial seat in New York to Aaron Burr was one the first thing to really beginning driving a wedge between the two. Never mind that Burr had challenged Angelica's husband to a duel a few years before his duel with Hamilton. There's also, supposedly, the time Burr said he wanted to establish a water system that would help clean up the water supply a bit, and he approached Hamilton and other backers who were more than happy to provide backing. But Burr ACTUALLY wanted to establish a bank (which he did though now it operates under a different name), and slowly removed anything referring to the water system after receiving the backing. Hamilton and the others were deeply offended because they felt Burr had lied, and blamed him for loss of life. Because around that time there was supposedly a malaria outbreak.
Hamilton and the others put blame on Burr because in their opinion, money (and time) that could have been used to construct a water system that would have helped minimize the outbreak, was wasted on Burr and his project. No one is saying they were BFFs, but they were friends enough to a degree that they used to meet up on occasion and dine together.
Hey read the Peabody Sisters. A nearly perfect analogy for the Schuylers and AMAZING women. There were brothers. They don't come off well. And I know some modern day Peabody men :D
I get being neutral, but why dislike it. I mean, I guess I dislike it if the idea if Hamilton cheating on Eliza, but I don't mind the idea of if Angelica had just taken Hamilton.
I love the cast, I do, but seeing their historical counterparts always makes me chuckle. Like how Hamilton, historically, is from the West Indies, but he was half Scottish and French/English on the other side (no pun intended). Hamilton was as pale as they come, but I wouldn't trade Miranda for anyone in then world to portray the bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman.

Philip Schuyler had 7 children, not 14.
He had 15, but only 8 of them survived to adulthood. You may be thinking of his son, Philip J. Schuyler, who had 8 in total.
But, like LMM said, she was already married.

Also, that particular song was more dramatic because of Philip's death in the songs right before, but Philip didn't die until 1801.

It's true, Hamilton wanted to finish Princeton as quickly as Burr had and in the time just post American Revolution (1783), they were 2 of the finest lawyers in NYC, often ending up on opposing sides of cases. But there doesn't seem to be the same degree of respect between them that existed, say, between Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, whom, despite being ideologically opposed on every issue, said of Hamilton after his fatal duel, that they had "thought well" of each other and that Hamilton was a "singular character" of "acute understanding", a man who had been "disinterested, honest and honerable". Burr, on the other hand, Hamilton described as "dangerous". I can see why Miranda would take artistic license with that part of the story, though: it's a more dramatic pay-off in the end if the show leads you to believe that Hamilton would, based on their histories, favor Burr over Jefferson in the presidential election of 1800 so he plays up the idea of friendship between Hamilton and Burr which, in reality, is probably pure fabrication and plays up an animosity between Hamilton and Jefferson, which was probably at least partially true.
+Douglas Rau I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that after their infamous duel and Hamilton's subsequent death, Burr would speak of Hamilton as "My friend Hamilton, whom I shot."
I think Miranda says that on one of the interviews he did.. Jimmy Fallon, or something.
No, they were friends to a degree even though they didn't always see eye to eye.
Phillip Schuyler losing his Senatorial seat in New York to Aaron Burr was one the first thing to really beginning driving a wedge between the two. Never mind that Burr had challenged Angelica's husband to a duel a few years before his duel with Hamilton. There's also, supposedly, the time Burr said he wanted to establish a water system that would help clean up the water supply a bit, and he approached Hamilton and other backers who were more than happy to provide backing. But Burr ACTUALLY wanted to establish a bank (which he did though now it operates under a different name), and slowly removed anything referring to the water system after receiving the backing. Hamilton and the others were deeply offended because they felt Burr had lied, and blamed him for loss of life. Because around that time there was supposedly a malaria outbreak.
Hamilton and the others put blame on Burr because in their opinion, money (and time) that could have been used to construct a water system that would have helped minimize the outbreak, was wasted on Burr and his project.
No one is saying they were BFFs, but they were friends enough to a degree that they used to meet up on occasion and dine together.

Hey read the Peabody Sisters. A nearly perfect analogy for the Schuylers and AMAZING women. There were brothers. They don't come off well. And I know some modern day Peabody men :D

Why did Lin make George Eacker shoot at 7?
I wonder how many Hamilton shirts Lin has
Am I the only who dislikes Angelica and Hamilton?? Like I only like Hamliza?
im neutral but i dont really like hamliza either
I get being neutral, but why dislike it. I mean, I guess I dislike it if the idea if Hamilton cheating on Eliza, but I don't mind the idea of if Angelica had just taken Hamilton.
I ❤ LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA EVEN MORE FOR THIS! I LOVE THAT HE'S 100% FOR WOMEN RIGHTS AND GIRL POWER!
I love the cast, I do, but seeing their historical counterparts always makes me chuckle. Like how Hamilton, historically, is from the West Indies, but he was half Scottish and French/English on the other side (no pun intended). Hamilton was as pale as they come, but I wouldn't trade Miranda for anyone in then world to portray the bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman.
Creative license is a hell of a thing, really. But he's not wrong. It upped the drama. Though I'm amazed he conveniently forgot 12 other kids. xD
Who lives who dies who tells -your- his stoorrryyy
Where is the full video!?
miranda forgot is the new araki forgot
I HAVE NO CHILL WHAT SO EVER
Lin is a freaking genius my god
There's a good bit or pro-Hamilton propaganda, e.g., relating to his relationship with John Adams.
