I’d argue that Hamilton has a bigger rivalry with Jefferson than Adams. After all, despite their fightings, Hamilton and Adams were a part of the same party, they had similar fundamental values due to this. Jefferson and Hamilton however practically created the two party system due to the huge differences between each other (strong federal government vs state rights and small federal government).

I love thatvyou dream of New York in the past! It shows the passion you have. I've never been thete but would very much like to visit. Do you know much about Trinity Church? I'm not sure when it was built. I'm just starting to get to research on my Edwards family. Have you heard of the Edwards Heirs Association? It's very interesting. I have a receipt for a "share' that my great great grandmother had. I feel bad that she believed anything would come of it, as they could have really used it, I know. But what an interesting bit of family history. Thank you for these videos, I enjoy them.

Trinity was built by the Church of England in 1697. The North end of the graveyard is a bit older - 1685. After the Revolutionary War it became the Episcopal Church of NY. I don't, unfortunately, know anything about the claims of Robert Edwards' descendants. The story sounds fascinating!

What a phenomenal history lesson! I just subscribed. Do you have a suggestion for a description for the common wall of the home bordering the Old Sugar House Prison (the British used in 1780) near Trinity Churchyard on Liberty Street? I read that the prison yard was surrounded by a closed board fence, nine feet high where John Paulding--famous for capturing John Andre with two other militiamen--escaped by climbing over the fence and hiding in a nearby house's cellar, which had a common wall with the prison. Thank you! 🙏

Thank you for commenting! Prints and description of the sugar house that I've seen don't mention a fence, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one. I also don't recall John Paulding being in occupied NYC, but can ask someone I know who will know for sure. Stay tuned for the answer... Or, if you are on Instagram, ask @drama_from_the_past. They are the best, I think, source for that kind of info.

@@MrsQHistory Thank you for your prompt reply. I am researching a historical novel and have read everything I can get my hands on to ensure my history. is correct. It is incredibly satisfying to learn about the Revolutionary War era. It seems John Paulding escaped the Old Sugar House Prison by stepping on a box, jumping up a nine-foot prison fence, and somehow reaching the top with his hands. (The prison yard was surrounded by a closed board fence, ) He then hurled himself over the fence and ran for cover to a nearby house's cellar. The article said he scaled, "a high wooden fence at just the right location near a private dwelling that abutted on the prison." Since I don't use the word, "abutted," I am having difficulty getting a visual in my mind. You helped me see a picture of 1780 NYC, though, which was an immense blessing! I'm grateful for all the help! 😇

Update! The Livingston Sugar House is the name of the prison, and it is located on present-day Liberty Street, then called Crown Street, next to the Middle Dutch Church (the church had entrances on Nassau St & Cedar St). From all the. pictures I could find, I didn't see houses or "dwellings" near it. Thanks again for your help. You encouraged me to keep digging for information. 😀

Quote from John Adam miniseries: Adams: "Never have I heard a man speak like such a fool." Hamilton: "Do you question my loyalty?" Adams: "Your loyalty? No sir, I question your sanity. You dream of empire, Mr. Hamilton. Now either you are stark raving mad sir, or I am! Good day!" "I would rather serve as Vice President under Jefferson than be indebted to a creature such as Hamilton!"

A bit off topic but I watched a channel (Girl Gone London) by an American woman living in the UK. She mentioned spare-time activities she hadn't encountered in the States and mentioned that bowling or bowls (lawn bowls not 10 pin bowling) wasn't a thing in the States. I wondered did they play lawn bowls in pre-revolutionary America because there's that park called the Bowling Green in New York that has featured in some of Mrs Q's videos. Using Google I found that there's a lawn bowls club in Central Park though it's older people who tend to play it.

Karen, this occurred a few blocks from where I live, not sure if you knew where exactly I live. Gold St. which intersects John St. a block south of William was originally called Golden Hill St. After the Brits chopped down the first three Liberty Poles, the fourth one was erected on Isaac Sear's property on Beekman Slip, in the current South St, Seaport. The Sons of Liberty put an iron gridle around the pole which the Brits drilled trough and placed powder charge and blew it up, then dumped it at the tavern.
