[@philippegli9653]

I think Washington‘s farewell address should also be mentioned here. This and the idea behind it is very well portrayed in Lin‘s masterpiece! 👍

[@vendingguy47]

I do really like the way that Lin portrayed Washington's Farewell Speech.

[@Lorna8264]

I like the way the cast was so diverse and chose the best person for the role

[@sophiaisabelle027]

Hamilton is a great theatrical show. It deserves so much credit.

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

I know right?!!!

[@lilliepad_froh]

It’s not like it already has so much credit already!

[@Therianpaws-]

It doesn't get enough credit for all the credit it gave us.

[@AirForceFalcons_9922]

​@@Therianpaws- Ikr???!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tylerrodriguez7772]

As a historical nerd. I loved hamilton it was the first musical I really got interested in.

[@ser132]

Have you seen 1776? A little more of a traditional musical style, but pretty interesting historically, though I can't say exactly how accurate it is.

[@Benjamin_Rush]

@ser123 I have watched 1776, which was pretty good. It wasn’t the most historically accurate, about the same level as Hamilton. But it is pretty funny.

[@trinaq]

One of my all time favourite musicals, along with "Six: The Musical." Who knew that history could be majorly entertaining?! 😍

[@someoneinthemist]

Girl you are my soul

[@MegCazalet]

History is SO ENTERTAINING! It’s not about memorizing important dates anymore. It’s all of the stories that have ever happened in human existence and they’re TRUE! I may be biased because I have degrees in history and art history and had panic attacks as young as 3rd grade over math but I was also lucky to have been a book lover and to have had great teachers growing up who made the past come to life. But just imagine - are humans interesting? What humans have been getting up to is fascinating as hell!

[@gracecarroll5066]

six and hamilton are 100% my top 2

[@Kureemy]

@@gracecarroll5066 bruh I love them both too.

[@Michelle58546]

[@trinaq]

Please compile a list of historically accurate details about "Six: The Musical."

[@HaleyRadiant]

Omg yes! Can never get enough Tudor history videos, even if I know most of the details! 😅🙌

[@Miss_Camel]

#1, king Henry VIII did not fucking write “Greensleeves”. There’s maybe a couple of other things that are inaccurate or details left out, but that’s a BIG one, as it’s both played and referenced several times. Kills me every time.

[@peaceokafor3639]

Yesss

[@laperkin]

Yes plz

[@Nugz4Life]

HOGWASH

[@PrinceTrexus]

I know everyone loved Renee Elise Goldsberry's performance the most, and she truly was amazing as Angelica, but my favorite performance in the entire show was Phillipa Soo's phenomenal portrayal of Eliza, and "Burn" is my favorite performance in the show. Phillipa Soo gives so much emotion into the performance I get chills every time I listen to it

[@gemini_4real]

I really liked Phillipas performance during 'Stay Alive reprise'. She also put a lot of emotion into that. The way I teared up during that entire song was too much. Lin and Anthony did amazing too.

[@mystikceleste]

It’s not considered ‘a historically accurate’ thing, but I’ve always been fascinated by his relationship with John Laurens

[@JeffreyMarks]

The Angelica situation isn't historically accurate either, but they included it. I was rooting for a Laurens-Hamilton moment in the play.

[@Benjamin_Rush]

Dude the Hamilton- Laurens relationship is like so nice to learn about.

[@dragonweyr44]

There was a story I've heard about Hamilton that said that if he had survived the deal, Hamilton would've eventually became president and if that happened, slavery would have been abolished by 1825 AND segregation and the Jim Crow south would have never existed

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Really?

[@Nancybee1000]

Hamilton wasn't able to be president because he wasn't a native born American.

[@mockyngjay]

But his affair

[@dragonweyr44]

@@Nancybee1000 Who knows, they might have changed the constitution for him to have become president Even if they didn't change the constitution until 1933

[@CherryMitsu]

@@Nancybee1000Actually he would have; in the constitution it specifically states “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President” and since he was living there at the time of the constitution’s creation, he would have been able to run :)

[@ChaChaSlidingIntoTheDms]

Intimate letters between Angelica and Hamilton “I try to make sense of your thousands of letters of writing” Hamilton: all of them?

[@BurrShotHam711Jenna]

there are some parts where Lin had to take a dramatic license but this is where you can say Lin did his homework

[@Itz.Mikayela]

Yeppp

[@Tyrex_Productions]

This is an amazing musical. Lin Manuel Miranda is a songwriting GENIUS

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

So true!!!!

[@vendingguy47]

If you guys also haven't, you need to see Lin Manuel Miranda's musical In The Heights.

[@badkitty5dollars]

Did you know that according to the chernow book Eliza was actually home packing the kids when Alex went off to Mariah’s house for the first time they slept together … he told her” this isn’t a good time for me, is there somewhere we can go”

[@Ramseigh293]

Not many people know this, but Mariah Reynolds was actually Eliza's third cousin, and a lot of people don't know that, but I looked it up, Eliza and Mariah were related, so that's kind of weird. 😅😢😮😂

[@robertzontorrevillas3106]

That explains why she knows about hamilton because she just apeared

[@andtheyreoffs]

"num-burr nine" nice writing there LMAO

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Lol I get it

[@slywlf]

Ahhhh! I needed this! Now I will probably watch the whole show again tonight....lost track of how many times I have already done so! 🤩🤩🤩 There was one amusing bit where it was claimed Hamilton had a feline namesake, based on them both being avid with the ladies - not true, according to my reading, but delightfully funny.

[@kirby063]

Yo Hamilton content in 2023!!! I love it

[@BurrShotHam711Jenna]

12:08 song error: it's not the reprise, it's the first The Story of Tonight. The Story of Tonight (Reprise) they're all drunk

[@alexischow8374]

They were drunk in both of them. The story of tonight (Reprise) is after the wedding. While the story of tonight is when Hamilton met the 3 men. Hercules, Lafayette, and Jhon.

[@lydess_]

they'e all drunk in both of them, but they're more drunk in the reprise

[@Maaaaiii.]

I'm still angry about the line "A bastard orphan in need of a break" YOUR WIFE AND HER SISTER ASKED YOU, BEGGED YOU TO JOIN THEM UPSTATE ONE SONG AGO, SHUT UP ALEXANDER

[@Whisper_292]

This is the only place ive seen that hasnt negated the love triangle. Angelica was already married when Eliza and Alexander met, someone she had eloped with.

[@TraciHilbers]

Loved Hamilton!! Saw it on Broadway!

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Same!!!!

Whenever I watch the duel where Hamilton dies or Phillip dies I ask a 1 word question:why

[@kja427]

I wonder what his relationship was with Benjamin Franklin. 🤔

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

I wonder too….

[@Benjamin_Rush]

Honestly, even though I have learned so much about Hamilton he the American Revolution, I HAVE NO IDEA WJAT THE RELATIONSHIP WAS. I was just thinking about it last night.

[@erjones14]

The thing that made my look on google was Maria reynolds

[@multifan6679]

Man isn't necessarily the sex gender man, it's a neutral term as well. Like man-kind or smth. By saying all man are created equal it's basically the same as all humans are created equal, considering the time it was written in. Nowadays people are too incompetent to differenciate between grammatical and sexual gender (I am from Austria, so...the pain is real on that one) so I am not surprised that they are also too incompetent to first look up the way certain words were used 300 years ago vs now (remember, languages live. They change and adapt with time. Man from 18th century ≠ man from 21th century
