Mini-bio: My name is Brady. I'm 24 years old and am a graduate student in history. I started this channel as something fun to do while I finish my schooling. My primary area of study ranges roughly from the American Revolution through the first sixty years of the 19th century. While I am a historian (with a B.A. in Liberal Arts), I am a very new historian. I am more of a learner than a teacher, so I use the react format to do a little bit of both. Also, flags are fun, and I like them very much... and video games... and maybe some other stuff. While my videos are not all history related, this channel has a serious social studies bend to it.
Bird Note: I have a bird, his name is Peridot (Peri for short). You may see him appear in some videos and not others. While he has quickly become the channel's mascot, he only appears in videos when he feels like it. I don't force him to come on camera, he just likes being around hoomans, and I am hooman. Also, understand that birds are a lot of work, so don't go out and get one impulsively just because mine appears behaved in my videos. Bird parenting is a full-time job.
The parrot just got really passionate and wanted to join in the singing.
I have the same problem with my parrot
You're not supposed to say 'Macbeth' in theater. It's bad luck. Hamilton says it and all his life goes to heck.
Never thought about that, that's actually hilarious.
Hamilton doesn’t say the name of the play, though. He only says the name of the character, which is perfectly fine.
@@girlirl Still said Macbeth
@@BradyDouglass LMM 100% did it on purpose.
There is also a debate and it is essentially "it doesn't count if you say the CHARACTER Macbeth, but if you say it as the play's name then y'know, here comes down the chandelier." But it is a debate, not written in stone.
“You can write rhymes, but you can’t write mine.” Musically, that ends up becoming true. Whenever Alexander raps he does great rhymes until it comes to Philip. “Philip you outshine the morning sun, my son.” “Philip, you would like it uptown, it’s quiet uptown.” Neither line rhymes, it just repeats the same word.
Actually it's "Philip you outshine the morning sun my son" but great point
For the Macbeth references
"they think me Macbeth, ambition is my folly" Macbeth's downfall is his vision of becoming King of Scotland after three witches tell him he will do so, similar to Hamilton's vision and always wanting to climb higher (the man is non-stop)
"Madison is Banquo" Banquo was loyal to Macbeth until he gains too much power much like Madison being a partner of Hamilton during the writing of the Federalist Papers until Madison feared the government could become too powerful. However unlike Macbeth with Banqou, Hamilton does not have Madison killed
"Jefferson is Macduff" this part is really cool because both Macduff and Jefferson don't show up until Hamilton/Macbeth have gained power. Macduff opposes and eventually usurps Macbeth.
"And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane" The witches mentioned that Macbeth's reign would be safe until Birnam Wood would come to Dunsinane which Macbeth thought would mean forever because tress can't exactly move can they? Except Macduff cut down the trees to camoflauge them on their way to Dunsinane. Much like Congress is on its way to Hamilton as alluded to in Cabinet Battle 1 "I suppose they will ask for your removal"
Thanks so much for the explanation. Always wondered...
“another Scottish tragedy.” refers to Macbeth but if he’s another Scottish tragedy, who’s this other Scottish tragedy? Hamilton himself.
son of a scotsman
The bird was telling him to Take a Break 😂
After this, during "say no to this" (I have yet to look this up) Hamilton confronts Mrs. Reynolds about a letter he received from James Reynolds he calls out "Was this whole story a set up?" And I found that really interesting. They knew Hamilton was wealthy, being a successful man, and having married a schuyler, so they took advantage of his kindness, stress, and loneliness to bank off of through the affair. I was just wondering a little bit about that? Maybe you could elaborate for me? It's just a really interesting topic, and hearing it from a historian would be great.
from what I've heard James Reynolds forced Mrs. Reynolds to do it but don't quote me because that's what I've heard so I don't really know
From what I heard, the affair could not be true (sort of). When it came to showing the letters from Maria Reynolds, Hamilton showed ones that were quite strange written (having similarities to the ones Eliza wrote to him) so it's not certain that the affair happened as we know it.
(Some people say that the affair never occurred and he just invented it to escape from a major scandal).
I am unsure so don't come at me, but I think of it like this...
Maria Lewis was born very poor, with no evidence of education (because of her not having as much money, is also why you will see her wear outdated dresses, as apposed to the Schuyler children who were much wealthier.) At age 15, she married James Reynolds. Some time later, she had a child named Susan with him. In her 20's we led to believe by some historians her husband left her to be alone with her daughter, which was not much of a loss because of how he treated her. At age 23, she met one of her many lovers, the best known one, Alexander Hamilton. BUT, their relationship wasn't just jump on in my dress, it started financially, because she needed the money to support her daughter. Eventually as you know, it turned into more. Now, what I will state next is the part I am not sure if it's true or not, but I think that she stayed with the affair because she was worried if she left Hamilton would treat her as her husband did, and also if she left, he would stop helping her with the money for her daughter. We believe that Maria was going to write her own Reynolds Pamphlet, however as evident in her letters to Hamilton, she had little to no education. HOWEVER, Maria didn't turn these letters in herself, therefore, Hamilton had complete control of the letters that people saw from Maria and the light we are made to see her in throughout our lives. After the affair was said and done she got a divorce with her husband. (fun fact, her divorce lawyer was Aaron Burr) She then got married to one of her other lovers, John Clement, I think was his name. She then moved away with him. When she came back to America she was under her new name: Maria Clement. With no evidence of her being a part of the Reynolds Affair. Died around age 60. Again, I remind you I am not a historian or grammar expert so don't scold me if I am factually inaccurate, or use the wrong tense, punctuation, and/or spelling. Thank you, I now will rest my thumbs.
@@jaylee5876 I also heard of that version. I'm also not an historian or anything like that but i have read A LOT of books and essais about Hamilton.
Guess we had to be in the room where it happened to know what really happened😂
@@DarkMatter_Mya There are two versions of the story, and we don’t know which is true. Either Mariah was forced into it by James Reynolds, or she was in on it.
if you haven't already done adams administration, would you do the extended version? i have a feeling there'll be much more to talk about in that one than the like 30 second one that's actually in the musical lol
YES!! And Brady has said in the past that he likes John Adams, so it'll be interesting to hear him react to Adams being called a fat, arrogant, anti-charasmatic national embarrassment. 😂😂
@@alliethomas6464 and a nuisance with no sense and he will die of irrelevance
I don't know much about Hamilton's relationship with the likes of Madison but I can try and break down the Macbeth references.
"Ambition is my folly" Macbeth's ambition is what leads to his downfall.
Banquo was his friend who also received a prophecy from the witches. Macbeth was told he would be king, whereas Banquo was told his son's will be kings. Macbeth becomes very jealous and paranoid of Banquo, thinking that he has committed his crimes for the benefit of Banquo's descendents. He then orders for Banquo to be killed.
Macduff is the character who eventually kills Macbeth. He is the only man with the ability to do so. Macbeth has become cocky and thinks he's invincible by the time Macduff kills him.
Birnam Wood on the way to Dunsinane. One of the prophecies given to Macbeth is that he can't be killed until the woods move. He begins to think this means he can't be killed because how can trees get up and move. The soldiers, who are going to overthrow him, dress up in camouflage as trees and move towards the castle, Dunsinane.
Also, "Screw your courage to the sticking place" is a line that Lady Macbeth says to Macbeth when trying to convince him to kill the King by using his masculinity (or lack of) to manipulate him.
Bird says “Eliza! Don’t go! Hamilton is just gonna get some strange while you’re away!”
the workshop version of 'Schuyler Defeated' is longer (and better in my humble opinion), so maybe you can find it more complete with information? it would be cool to see you talk about it
And quite a few people have animated it too. I didn’t learn about it till much later (it’s also kind of funnier.) 😂
It was cut because it didnt make sense, eliza was out of town and shouldnt be in town where alexander and reynolds were at so idk if it would make sense to do it since its cut for the reason of being inaccurate
@@Jubbele Actually, Eliza would be home around the time of the senate election, since the election is in November, after the summer. It wasn’t cut for being inaccurate, they just wanted to shorten the play.
I actually really love the original Schuyler Defeated and Let it Go! I find those songs really great!
If I was Hamilton I would spend every day with Eliza and Phillip :)
Same
Technically they're all Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton
Philip Hamilton
Eliza schuyler Hamilton
This is my favorite song in the musical because it’s like the last piece of innocence before everything went wrong
In this song, Alexander calls Jefferson MacDuff. In *The Scottish Play* MacDuff is the character that ends up killing MB. This would make *Burr* MacDuff to Alexander’s MB.
In 1791, Eliza and some of the children left to go stay with her father bc he was worried about Eliza's health being damaged during the hot Philadelphia summer (which is when the affair occured). The yellow fever epidemic occurred during 1793; this caused both Eliza and Alexander to fall ill. They both ended up going to the Schuyler Mansion to escape Philadelphia after they recovered tho :) (btw I love these videos they're awesome)
Yellow fever was still a factor. While the biggest yellow fever outbreak was in 93 in Philadelphia, it was also a recurring thing every year in the 1790s. About 100 people died in 91 in New York.
@@BradyDouglass oh I didn’t know that was still part of it thank you
I COMPLETELY agree with the flirting vibe in the letter. Really feels like she turns him down HARD in the next one: doesn't repeat the mistake and mentions her sister and keeps it very casual.
The bird was singing along!!!!
"Screw your courage to the sticking place" is a line Lady Macbeth says while encouraging her husband to kill the king for ambition reasons.
I really hope he does the original Adam's Administration, that one is probably one of my favorites
This is really cool. I always thought that 'being a poet' was refrencing to their characters in play rapping, which is kind of a poetry
I wanted to point this out that Angelica had a broken heart in her mouth when she would open it in the animatic, unlike some of the characters
If you get to the duel that Phillip dies in, one book I read , was historical fiction - but made me wonder if it was fact. In that book it was Angelicas Husband that gave Phillip the gun. It may be too obscure to have been recorded but made me wonder. In the musical Alexander gave him the gun so of course both narratives diverged. Idk why it stood out to me so much but it did
I can answer this here since it’s a simple question. Angelica’s husband, John Church, definitely gave him the gun. His guns were used in both Phillip and Alexander’s duel. Church also dueled Aaron Burr with those guns before Burr dueled Alexander. Those guns saw a lot of action.
@@BradyDouglass oh Jesus I had no idea the history of the gun would be so well recorded thanks !
Damn imagine how much money those guns would be worth....
I'd say so much for them and hold them up to anyone who annoying me and say
Do you want to be killed by the same thing that killed a founding father!?
Ya know that would be a good way to die........
the workshop version of Schuyler defeated + let it go are two songs that are way different from the original (and in let it go's case it was removed completely), i feel like you'd be able to dissect a lot of things there so that would be interesting to see u react to!
I prefer animatics personally, I enjoy seeing how expressive they make the characters
As a fun note, Angelica was actually friends with Jefferson and she was really significant in Hamilton's and Jefferson's ongoing debates about the financial issues, the national bank, and the location of the Capital. (Thiscis touched on in the play but not really explored.)
Hehehe lil birbie can’t stand the thought of something possibly sounding prettier or louder than him 🥰 As he should!!! Nothing could ever top his cute little squawks 😆💜
"John Adams had daddy issues" WHY DID I LAUGH SO HARD AT THAT-
Does it amuse anyone else that he keeps hammering home the point that “NO” Angelica and Alexander weren’t connected like “THAT” 🤣🤣🤣
There is a song that you have to check out called "Ben Franklin's Song" Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the lyrics before he realized there wasn't enough room in the play for it. So he contacted the band The Decemberists and gave the lyrics to them. It's terrific fun stuff, and I think it has some interesting things about B Franklin. The Decemberists wrote the music and together they made it happen (it's got some F-bombs so make of that what you will). And of course there's "Weird" Al Yankovic who put out "The Hamilton Polka" Love the vids, keep it up!
Please do ‘congratulations’!!! It’s such a beautiful song and it differs so much from the final product ✨✨✨
I really like Lin’s voice in this. It’s really complemented his voice
You should really listen to 'First Burn' it's the workshop version of 'Burn' and they recorded it with all the Eliza's who played the first major Eliza's after Phillipa Soo, it's a lot more cut-throat and angry
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I'm so excited I love these videos!
Okay, the workshop version **cracks knuckles**
Lets talk about the differences:
▪There is a cut song called 'no john trumbull' which transitions into cabinet battle #1
▪Schuyler defeated is more of its own song and then it leads into a cut song, let it go
▪ let it go is actually a really good song, hamilton is a ball of fiery anger, eliza and washington are trying to get him to chill while burr becomes a senator
▪'washington on your side' is pretty different and has more happening including the jefferson-hamilton press rivalry and there is more james madison content
▪'one last time' is COMPLETELY different, its called 'one last ride' and its about the whiskey rebellion its so good
▪'the adams administration' is a rap in the workshop version and he destroys john adams
▪ Laurens is in Hurricane.
▪angelica's part in 'the reynolds pamphlet' is its own song! Its called 'congratulations' and its my personal favourite song which was unfortunately cut from the musical and she goes OFF on alexander
▪'dear theodosia reprise' exists and it hurts
▪'your obedient servant' is really good in this version there are more direct quotes from the actual letters
▪ten things one thing and 'world was wide enough' are completely different songs and then hamilton talks about the morning of the duel from his perspective
▪'who lives who dies who tells your story' includes alexanders last letter to eliza, its slightly different as well
This is mostly from memory but some songs i had to go back and listen to the workshop version to add them to the list and im not entirely sure about act 1, i could go on about the hamildrops and cut songs but this comment about the workshop song is already a big essay so ill go on about them in another comment another time
There are so many great songs from the workshop! The OG Schuyler Defeated, Let it Go, OG The Adams Administration, Congratulations, Dear Theodosia Reprise (it's so sad, but not much history,) and Ten Things One Thing (it's so cool to hear Ham's perspective during the duel!)
Please react to the cut version of The Adams Administration. It’s a crying shame that it wasn’t in the final version of the play.
Angelica: **obsessing over a little comma in the opening of a letter**
Ghost laurens in the back: **flicking through some more blatently romantic and passionate letters from hamilton** you ain't seen shit, love.
I thought of this too lol
Seems like Peri was really into the song at the end there 😁
Phillip is a freckled bean 🤩
I'd really love to see a reaction to the original version of the Adams administration. Really wish it would have stayed in the show. I know it's long but there's so many funny little jabs
Another great animatics maker is Ziksua. Her style is very nice.
I think that you might enjoy the song John Trumbull. It’s a song that is in between what did I miss and cabinet battle 1 your videos are a amazing keep it up😊
the bird is vibing
The turning point of Hamilton's career if you know what I mean ;)
I'd love to see you cover the King George songs (You'll Be Back, What Comes Next, I Know Him). They're some of my favorites from the show!
"emotional chirping"
im so glad you are doing more Hamilton songs I love it and who else is listening to the songs while your doing stuff😊i know i am
7:32
I was wheezing- 😂😂
I bet your bird tried singing along lol
The workshop of on last time is pretty different they talk about the whisky rebellion
Men, men, men you need to do the John Adam's rap, from the workshops, you must
i can't wait for Burn's review
The views should take a break from beating me every time XD
Hope your birb I'd doing okay. It's quiet uptown please!
If I'm not mistaken at this time, the Hamilton's had 4 kids, 3 boys and a girl (that I think was named after Angelica)
They actually had 8 kids, six boys and two girls and you're right one was name Angelica and the other one was named Eliza
@@betsyromero3 I know they had 8, but at this particular point in time (when Philip was 9) they only had 3 or 4 kids, is what my comment meant.
@@bobbihearn6168 oh I'm very sorry I guess I didn't read it properly
The saddest thing about this song is seeing Philip at 9 years old and knowing he'll be dead in ten years.
You know, you probably shouldn't flirt with someone in the same letter you refer to yourself as......their....favourite....older sister...
Let the bird sing!!!
I really like your videos, i think you're doing an amazing job. I just wanted to ask: was Peggy still alive at this point of the story and what was she doing?
The musical doesn't really talk about her.
Pleassssee say he will listen to the song after this next XD
you gotta do congratulations its not part of the musical officially but its still good.
Yo what do you think about that Washington„mini“ Series? Its kinda old but do you think its historically accurate? I would like to know what you think about it. I noticed that Lin used some stuff from there.
does anybody know the title to the biography written by Hamilton's children? I'm interested in the familial side.
I think it was written by John Church Hamilton
Next can you do washignton on your side because the song is pretty good
That’s my favorite song!
@@ieshiaspears3870 same
63rd!!!!!
can you do the reynolds song???
Did maria ever get pregnant bc of the afar? My friend said she did but another one of my friends said if she did elisa would have burned him. Is it true tho?
Maria had a kid, but not by Hamilton, by James Reynolds I think.
