I think it is a stretch to say Lin isn't a great actor, maybe not the greatest singer, but his acting I felt everything he felt through his face. He blew me away.

Sadly Alexander Hamilton is not taught in most schools. Every other founding father is taught about. And I know this first hand . When history was taught to me in the 90's he was never discussed my two oldest children also was not taught about Hamilton. My youngest who is 14 and just finished 8th grade had watched Hamilton and it just so happened that the 8th grade classes had history and were covering the founding fathers but for some reason the two history teachers left Hamilton out. The 8th grade classes had to do a project on the Founding Fathers and were able to pick who they wanted to do their project on. My child was the only one that chose Hamilton. She spent many hours reading history books ECT... The teacher asked why did you choose Hamilton when we never discussed him. My child's reply was this. " That's exactly the reason why I chose Hamilton he was instrumental in building America and deserves to be remembered just as much as the other founding fathers. " She got a 100 on her project

[@lapisangelxoxo]

that’s amazing! I really wish he was talked about more :(

[@cinmiscashea]

And then this arrived and the whole world knows about 1 founding father. Alexander Hamilton. Worldwide, American history isn't taught, this masterpiece of a musical made the whole world care about his story (thanks Eliza!)

[@christie368]

@@cinmiscashea We were taught about the founding fathers however we were only taught about the founding fathers they favored

[@brendanboy411]

I taught US and world history at my school, and I did teach the students about Alexander Hamilton. The one thing that I didn’t know until I read the book and saw the show was that his wife was the one who kept all the journals. What we know today about George Washington and the revolutionary war was because of her. I didn’t even realize that she started the orphanages. So, there’s so much history to teach that it would actually take years and years to discuss it all. But I do think people should know about him.

Lin is legendary and brings pride to NY& Puerto Ricans everywhere. He is talented beyond his years and I only wish I discovered his talent sooner. We are so lucky to experience his art real time. I hope somewhere in some woman’s belly there is a child that will bring this level of art to us again. We desperately need more people like Lin. I can’t say anymore .

[@avph]

Alexander Could have become president. A popular misconception is that because he was born in the British West Indies, Hamilton could not legally have become president. That’s not the case. The Constitution states that to become president, a person must be either a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the Constitution’s adoption, which Hamilton certainly was. In fact, the first seven U.S. presidents were born British citizens. Martin Van Buren, born in 1782, was the first to be born an American citizen.

[@truckdriver2129]

Honestly, I'm not surprised: Hamilton was one of the three who wrote the constitution, there was no way he wouldn't leave himself a little loophole to become president lol

[@appaloosa42]

Could have but not permitted… because he was not born withing the States

[@larynOneka8080]

@avph What are you talking about? Everyone born in the United States before the American Revolution was British. America was a British owned land. The point of having to be a natural citizen is that you don't want people with loyalty to a foreign country being Present and selling America out to that country. Back then they didn't want a British sympathizer becoming President and giving America back to Britain. You want your leader to have one loyalty to their people.

[@CanadaPlayz48]

​@@appaloosa42 not sure what your point is Constitution allowed people to run for president if they were "citizen of the US at the time of the constitution's adoption" because nobody wouldve been a "natural-born citizen" back then

[@incrediblenif]

I just saw Hamilton last night. I was blown away, no pun intended. It is so masterfully put together. It's amazing how reading a biography while on vacation led him to put all of this together. Historically, I learned a lot. I had no idea Hamilton was the first politician to be publicly outted for misdeeds. I've since read the letters his mistress and her conniving husband sent Hamilton. Lyrically it's impressive how Lin put so much into every verse to create such dimensional portrayals of historical figures.

[@aliatejeda6210]

I think Lin Manuel Miranda it a true blessing to this world! In a time where art isn't about expressing yorself and the art itself anymore but just comercials and money and fame it's very rare to find true artists who rlly create masterpieces and not just publish smth for the money and don't even rlly spend time and love in what they do. the quality of what we call art nowerdays is much lover than 100 years ago and finding someone who stil creates true art and who has true talent is rare. so thank you Lin Manuel Miranda for doing what you're doing and showing that there's still true talent in this world.

I just saw Hamilton last night. It was awesome. I wanted to see how a kid on "Electric Company" could make it to Broadway! Wow!

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

13:46. It's strange this gentleman seems unaware of Miranda's views on Hamilton. They were patently clear in his presentation of the first rap of the still-in-creation-process musical at the White House, years before the work's premiere. He said, "I'm working on a concept album on the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop: Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton." And he followed explaining how Hamilton had arrived to be a Founding Father and have fights with everyone, on the power of his writing, how the power of words can change the world. The video is on KZbin in the channel of Obama's White House; it has millions of views. Easy to find: just look for "Hamilton White House." 18:45. And, *of course,* the White House event is mentioned. And later, Miranda explains it again. How is it that someone is still wondering *why* he chose Hamilton as a subject? The ten dollar founding father without a father embodies hip-hop!

[@aydenkelly6274]

[@incometax1997]

Strangely enough, Hamilton technically could have been president. I forgot where it's said; it may have been in the Declaration of Independence. But during the time America was formed, there was a loophole where even if you weren't born there, you could still run for president. Which I guess makes sense since most people who lived in the colonies weren't born there but were born in Britain. Take George Washington, for example. He wasn't born in the colonies; he was born in Britain and served as a lieutenant colonel for the British during the French Indian War, yet he still became the first president of the U.S.

[@Junnipurr]

The only founding fathers I've ever been taught about in American Public school were Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Continuing that, we were only ever taught they amazing things that they did. Not to say the bad things should be looked at MORE than the accomplishments, but they should still be included; it shows that these people weren't god-like figures, they were people too.

[@mossysalt8641]

​@@robertewalt7789 theres a couple things he had to change or left out for the story. 1. Hamilton actually was a pretty well known poet when he was a kid, the hurricane wasn't the first time he wrote. 2. Alex and Eliza knew eachother before the winter ball happened. 3. Laurens wasn't at the wedding, he was in jail at the time I believe. 4. Lairens was in New York at the time of the Yorktown battle, Lin changed it to cut back some time explaining the change. Phillips duel actually lasted a while (about 3 minutes) before George shot him. Yes he changed things about history, but nothing was to egregious that I've found so far.
