After the Hamilton duel he is reuntated with Washington and he tells him about the spirit that Washington saw at vally forg she shows him three grate avents that would happen the revulsion was 1 the civil war was 2 and the last was a massive invasion from Russia China and Canada they will burn everything to the ground and are men will be in trouble but at the last moment Washington and Hamilton and every man that died to save are country will save are people like lord of the rings the retern of the king
@@johnparla6252 are you trying to convince us that Canada, Russia, and China will launch a full-scale invasion against the US in a historian reaction to a Hamilton video through some made up “prophecy” God you are hopeless
there is a cut version of the World Was Wide Enough where we get both Burr and Hamilton's perspective. I think it'd be interesting if you would wanna go over that one as well maybe as a bonus.
for reference you can find it by searching Ten Things One Thing Hamilton. I thought it was an unused or beta version of the world was wide enough but it seems that is not the case
It was replaced by Hamilton’s “no beat, no melody” monologue Lin has said that he needed something to finish Hamilton’s story and he woke up early one morning and his family were asleep and he realised the one thing he hadn’t explored in Hamilton yet was silence. It was one of the last things to be added
@@utherteasdale933 that makes sense. I really love the monologue but I think I prefer his verses in the Ten Things One Thing song. But I'm glad we are able to experience both versions
You mentioned the role reversal between Burr and Hamilton at the end… and I find it fascinating that in the end, narratively, the duel plays out the way it does because Hamilton literally throws away his shot, and Burr for one of the first times in the play, couldn’t wait for it and shoots rather than taking just that split second to process what was happening.
Yeah, true. It's like there role is reversed. I mean. At first we saw Hamilton is kind of man, who will not throw away his shot, but here he literally throws away his shot at the duel between him and burr. Whereas on the other man, burr, he really wanted to take this shot. So instead of throwing away the shot, or waiting for it, he took that shot.
There's a workshop version of of this song that uses more of the actual letters between Hamilton and Burr which lead to the duel, which you might be interesting.
Also, Burr ran for Governor of New York and Hamilton worked to ensure Burr’s loss in that election as well. Probably was almost, if not, the last straw for Burr.
@@Jemini4228 Because Hamilton all but assuredly had no intention of killing Burr yet Burr shot him dead. Also, the Burr Conspiracy which after the duel killed whatever was left of his rep.
@@Jemini4228 Well I think what the musical is trying to tell is that Burr and Hamilton are not necessarily heroes or villains but rather everyone in this musical were just a bunch of people making mistakes and doing people things and you can interpret whoever was the villain in your own head but honestly a lot of people consider Aaron Burr to be the villain not just because he killed Hamilton but also because of a lot of other factors in his life because if you remember back in this guy's reaction to the song Aaron Burr sir, He mentions how Burr was kind of a sneaky dude and he had some manipulative behaviors up his sleeve and it just makes it hard to trust him in a sense.
The A. Ham thing (I think) Is supposed to symbolize Hamilton kind of stealing the signature that Burr used in his letters. Because he signed his letters A. Burr, And in the musicals context Hamilton did the exact same thing which was kind of meant to be a teasing move towards him because you know he would be stealing Burr's signature. I think it also helps provide more tension between them in the song because it's just something to add salt in the wound. So basically it's kind of like a teasing, mockery thing. At least that's my perspective.
_Ham receives a letter:_ Oh Burr, what is it now... ... ... A dot Burr. This smarmy prick. _Ham writes a letter:_ Okay then Burr, how about this? A. Dot. Ham. Yeah, two can play at this game.
When i first watched Hamilton I actually had goosebumps when I was listening to this song, it just felt so tense throughout specially when Burr sang. Honestly just because of the foreshadowing and the lines is why I always look forward to this song when I watch Hamilton.
I really like the subtle passive aggressive nature of the song, as it really (to a slightly lesser extent) reflects the feel of the letters with them being gentle yet In some places really petty.
The letter he's writing - or one of them, is actually for Eliza - it's his letter to her, in which he apologizes for going to the duel and telling her that he partly doesn't want to for her sake and that of the children - the thing with the letter is brought up in an animatic of Ziksua, where Eliza reads the letter aloud at first I can only recommend watching this one, it use the stage version and is titled Eliza's song (or something I forgot)
If you’re curious, what burr actually said in that last letter was “Thus, Sir, you have invited the course I am about to pursue, and now by your silence impose it upon me. If therefore your determinations are final, of which I am not permitted to doubt, Mr. Van Ness is authorised to communicate my further expectations either to yourself or to such friend as you may be pleased to indicate.” Witch means “you haven’t written back or spoken to me in a while, so you must be prepared to go down swinging”
did you notice at the end, when hamilton and burr face each other, and there's that flash, that hamilton's face turns into a skull? nice forshadowing of events.
If you’re curious as to how honor played into early republic politics and the political weapons used as well as how all of this affected reputation, go read “Affairs of Honor” by Dr. Joanne B. Freeman-who is also one of the leading Hamilton historians. The book is amazing and I highly recommend!
After the 1800 election Burr ran for the Governor of New York. Hamilton discouraged people from voting for Burr in that as well. The comments could have been in reference to that election.
Well, it can also be referenced from the fact that Hamilton called Burr a 'dangerous man' in one of their dinner parties. And yeah, the election can also serve a reference here.
The real breaking point was at the time of the election of 1804, so I'm imagining that Hamilton still would have been a different person and still grieving in some way. People did say he was never the same after his son died. So the election was a different one, but Hamilton's affect may not have been.
You said "we were getting to the last three songs" but after Best of Wifes there's two more songs (World was Wide Enough and the last song). Does that mean you're not gonna cover one of those two last ones? Cause World Was Wide Enough can give you the space to talk about Burr and Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story we can check Eliza's achivements :(
I'm pretty sure he's going to do them both given the importance of them in the musical, it was likely a mental flub where he lumped obedient servant and best of wives together
I can’t remember where I heard this but didn’t Hamilton not say what Burr is accusing him of but instead of denying he said it Hamilton said something like I didn’t say it but I do mean it.
Crazy thought but this whole back n forth between hamilton n burr took the course over years since the duel happened years after the election my guess is this is what was happening in the lead up but was condensed to fit the music n the length of the musical
"Not much happens with Hamilton after the duel." I don't know why I'm laughing so much at that.

@@johnparla6252 ... buddy, did you forget you scitzoprenia meds?
This song crept up on me but it’s legitimately my favorite from the musical now. The quiet menace in Burr’s lines is A+
I love Burr's "sweet Jesus". So relatable lol

Hamilton left a letter for Eliza that closed with Adieu best of wives and best of women. Embrace all my darling children for me.Ever yours A.H
I love the passive/civil agressive-ness of this song lol
Also, Burr ran for Governor of New York and Hamilton worked to ensure Burr’s loss in that election as well. Probably was almost, if not, the last straw for Burr.
I don't know how Burr is still considered the villian of the two of them. Just because he happened to win the duel..

@@23adrizahazra13the one who said that was actually John Church whom Burr challenged to a duel over that slight as well
Didn’t Hamilton list years of disagreements in like alphabetical order in a different duel?

Gold star for Alexander Hamilton’s writing ability. Gold star for you sir 🌟
Hamilton (pot) calling Burr (kettle) black. Gods' hand in history is awesome.
Thank you for these videos !
Do any other musical nerds always expect it to end, "I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, O.G."?
I can’t remember where I heard this but didn’t Hamilton not say what Burr is accusing him of but instead of denying he said it Hamilton said something like I didn’t say it but I do mean it.

I hope you also tackle the cut song 10 things 1 thing
You should do In The Heights or Newsies
Why is your face so small now ? Come baaaaack you seems so far

Soon, I think. I’ll be finishing this series in a few days, then I’ll probably get back to more of the regular stuff.
