Everytime I bring up Alexander Hamilton my teacher gets mad and yells at me for some weird reason. I just guess *insert hamiltrash joke*

But don't worry im hamiltrash too
@@bananabreadaesthetic6369 oof my teacher and some other kids love hamilton so when i make a hamilton joke, it gets passed around from Hamilton fan to Hamilton fan, like,
“What time is it?”
Me: *”Showtime!”*
Oh when were having a test.

I think it's pretty cool how Lin got nearly everything right. Nearly.
captaintaco2345 Lin had Entertainment Licenses so he had to change a few parts.
Like this if you actually knew all this already because of Hamilton the Musical.
onceuponapotterhead7
ikr!
I may be hamiltrash
The musical is a fantastic production and is now one of my favourite Broadway shows, but to say you know most of Alexander Hamilton's life just from the musical itself is untrue. Try reading the biography of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, it's an interesting read and I'm only five chapters into it. If you were to broaden your view on the life of Alexander Hamilton, the biography would be a good place to go from the musical. It gives a lot more details and insights into his life than a 3 hour musical could. Again, I love the musical myself, so no shade thrown to it. Lin Manuel Miranda worked over five years on it and that is highly respectable. But no one can truly understand Hamiltons' life just from the musical.
Sorry for the long comment, have a nice day. :)
Gryffinerd so true
Let's see, I'm pretty sure I know everything about A. Ham
*Watches video*
Yep. I do.
*he was one of the Biggest anti-slave fighters* oooh i wonder why maybe beucase his boyfriend fought for that too?
"My bf is in South Carolina redefining GAYvry"
O shit, im in South Carolina,,,,,,,,

I SHIP LAMS! I SHIP IT! I SHIP IT! LAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMSSSS
I'm just here to make song references
I knew all of this because of Hamilton the musical
datgamer do lmao
datgamer do same
datgamer do plaese don't take the musical as factual, it's heavily fictionalized (i cringed a lot at how inaccurate it was, but i'm a huge history nerd so yeah)
Nessi Chan but yet all this stuff i learned so 😏
datgamer do okay but most of the facts in the musical jist aren't true?? i mean, if it interests you (hamilton's life was actually really, really interesting) then do you research.
because in reality burr and hamilton hated each other's guts their whole life. jefferson wasn't an asshole, he was one of the 'good guys' in history, if you can say that. hamilton was the most arrogant asshole that tried to accumalate as much power as possible (most historicans think he married elizabeth schuyler not because he loved her or something but because she was really rich (her family was known for having an enormous amount of slaves, the most slaves anybody had in the north in fact))
And the Schuyler family had like 7 sons i think? Idk but Angelica's line "My father has no sons so I am the one of has to social climb" bothers me always for some reason (and she was already married when she met him, so she didn't gave him up for her sister, she just couldn't marry him)
I mean, I also think the musical is good! But it is oversimplied and fictionalized and history is a lot of things but surely never simple
"What DONT you know about Alexander Hamilton"
Me: try me
I already know all of this because of Hamilton...
Allaboutthatphan and Hamilton some of this was not in hamilton
+NateG Does
we research about Alexander, cmon.
so Hamilton the musical, for as much as I love it, misses a ton of information. Hamilton barely touches on the political aspect of his life which should out-rule everything, and barely scratches the surface of federalism, and the other political ventures.
Honestly, keep Hamilton on the ten dollar bill. America should take Andrew Jackson off the twenty dollar bill. He caused the freaking Trail of Tears! Why is he still on the twenty?!
TheRedPandaCat I think they are taking him off.
TheRedPandaCat In 2020, they are replacing Jackson with Harriet Tubman
No their not, thanks to "Hamilton" the musical. It raised awareness and instead their putting harriet on the 20$ bill. Next time research it
THEY TAKE HAMILTON OFF I TAKE THEIR HEADS OFF-- I MEAN WHAT
Andrew Jackson actually hated paper currency
That moment when you realize you already knew all the facts mentioned in this video because of a musical
Irena Connelly
wasnt that the same moment you read the title?
(there is that little part of you that just screams out "I know this already")
Government- "Hamilton invented our currency, and our entire financial system, but he was never president so let's take him off and put on a woman,"
um.... the reason why there aren't any woman on our currency is because the founders are all men, yeah Rosa Parks was a great woman and so was Harriet tubman, they didn't found our country... #hardtruth
I'm pretty sure they are taking off Andrew Jackson
from the 20
Sensitive Cactus No, there were many people who were pushing for that, but I believe the final decision was to put Tubman on the 10 and place Hamilton kind of in the background.
Oh
Wannabe Hurricane that's so stupid yes, Harriet Tubman was a great person but SHE DIDN'T FOUND OUR COUNTRY!!!!AND CREATE YOUR ENTIRE FINANCIAL SYSTEM. Hamilton is the reason why there is even money for her to be considered being put on
Please I know all of this
**Hamilton trash alert**
HAMILTRASH UNITE! We as a fanbase all knew this.
+John Laurens is Gay
Me (when he's talking about alexander hamilton writing and opposing slavery): Yeah but did you know he wrote about it with his boyfriend, John Laurens.
+Brooke Marulie Come here you tiny adorable Lams trash
Well Hello Again

(i support Bernie anyway)
Hamilton is one of our most important early leaders. He set the basis for our government through his idea for and major contibution in the Federalist papers. He set up the coast guard and the treasury. He was active in securing foreign incvestments in our nation. He was active in educational development and had an exemplary college record. He fought for social equality and justice. Hamilton understood both the law and business. He wrote and spoke elegantly. He was a leader of good moral principles and family values. His genius and diligence was and is a shinning example of the American Dream come true. He does not get the recognition he deserves in grade school American History Text books. Look to AHA.Pamela
he is one of my ancesters
I think you're totally right about his importance and all that. But I don't think he was such a good example of values and moral in some aspects: besides the sex scandal and the constant roasting that often touched personal subjects about the victims, he was a slave owner and he never came back to Nevis even when that people were expecting him to return and be of service.
I can't seem to get notifications from RUclips comments anymore so I won't know if anybody answered this, which is ridiculous.
Hes the reason why most people have no chance in life too
CODE WORD IS ROSHAMBO
hear me?
ROASHAMBO
YOU HAVE YOUR ORDER NOW GO MEN *GO*
It's rochambeau
And so the American experiment begins,with my friends all scattered to the whims
who spells rochambeau like that bahahha
I read that as roshamboo although I know it's rochambeau
I am disappointed in myself now.
Aaaaaaand Lin taught us most of this in his rap musical! Rather than sitting in your stupid history class doing nothing but listening to her/him talk and talk, why not see Hamilton? It's basically a lesson that is fun to watch and you get to memorize all the songs and show of to your friends that you can rap!!! :DDDDD thanks Lin. (One history class done!)
I agree!
Unfortunately, one of my friends hates the musical :(
SAME! My friend even tricked me into thinking she listened to it! And then she just came back at me and said "Hey...I didnt really listen to that stupid musical.." I got so offended i just wanted to punch her lol
Even though the play isn't accurate. It saved a very important member in history.
Some can rap Guns and Ships. But how many can rap The Adams Administrations rap, or put Renee's emotion into Congratulations?
yes he did
Should I be concerned that I already knew all of this?
No
Because i already knew it all too
This guys got some pretty fire beats if you put this on 2X speed
OH MY GOD
Why was this song cut from the musical
+B U F F S U K I I S B E S T G I R L
i like, laughed really loud at that
when being hamilton trash is amazing
OfCatsAndCauldrons when is being Hamiltrash *not* amazing?
"immigrants we get the job done"
so what happens if we win?
I go back to France. I bring freedom to my people if I'm given the chance.
Jello Diamond yup Hamilton was DEFINITELY supportive of the French Revolution and was totally there fighting with them
woah chill. I'm just saying hamilton contradicted what he was saying about helping the french in their time of need. You don't always have to type the lyrics. No where did "Bloke Jr" say everybody who responds to this thread has to say the lyrics of yorktown.
he was bisexual
And had a boyfriend named John Laurence. John was gay. And that’s why a is a anti slavery leader. You have been schooled
Hamilton is gay for Laurens
TRU
and King George III
they wrote sexy letters ;)
yeah he forgets about small things and john.j
*bisexual
the people who disliked like Aaron Burr when he shot Hamilton
Don't forget Jefferson and Madison
I tried to by a drink today but they wouldn't accept my money.
I asked why,
the man at the till replied saying: "This is a printed ten dollar note."
I said: "so?"
He said: "we only accept Brittish money..."
I asked why and he replied: "Because we're in Britain."
So I gave him 20p and left in a huff.
I was very unsatisfied.
They only take British money, so siNg A sOnG oF sIx PeNcE
damn ham you better make them letters to Laurens spicy tonight
Why did a laugh so hard at this?
Hmm yes... *spicy*
HIS NAME IS ALEXANDER HAMILTON
This cleared up quite a bit for me. I knew a lot about Hamilton like he formed our financial situation, but I didnt know how. This was very educational, and Im so glad the musical brings out Hamilton
This was in my recommended videos; I'm assuming because I watch way too many Hamilton videos.
Hamilton is the reason why I have an A in APUSH
'What DONT you know about Alexander Hamilton'
Me: "TRY ME!!!"
Lin should honestly make one about all things we learn in history class it would make my life so much easier
I just came from a liberty kids on hamilton, and it's 12:18 in the morning. The best time to watch it.

The sad thing is that most the people came to this video because of the musical and the rest came to this because they are learning about him in school and will never care about him ever again unless they find the musical and like it.... poor Hamilton. Jefferson Madison and Washington are remembered as seriously important people in the founding of our government and you are remembered from a series of badass musical numbers and a shit storm of fangirls..... poor Hamilton

ALL THE HAMILTON BROADWAY FANS IN THE COMMENTS I LOVE
I get the title's question so much.
*reads title*
*laughs*
Bitch try me
Video: ends
Me: where is the lams
You could find this all out on Wikipedia if you read the introduction paragraph...
A couple of things that Prof. McConnell mentioned need clarification:
Hamilton wasn't necessarily IMMEDIATELY noticed by Washington. He served as a captain in the New York Train of Artillery through the New York campaign of 1776 all the way through to the battles of Trenton and Princeton at the turn of 1776-77 and it was only after that he was invited to join General Washington's "family". Washington had taken command in late 1775 during the siege of Boston, didn't likely meet young Captain Hamilton till after the disastrous retreat from Long Island and so it's not like Washington just saw the dynamic young artillery captain and immediately asked him to join his staff.
When Hamilton did join his staff he was only ONE OF SEVERAL aides de camp including his friend and close collaborator John Laurens, George Baylor, Edmund Randolph, Robert Hanson Harrison, George Lewis, Stephen Moylan, William Palfrey, Thomas Mifflin, Tench Tilghman, even the painter of the Yorktown surrender, John Trumbull at one point served as Washington's ADC's. Hamilton became one of Washington's closest collaborators but wasn't "running the army for Washington" - Washington ran the army, Hamilton did the paperwork and plenty of the behind the scenes stuff including prisoner-exchange negotiations, negotiating with the intransigent congress in Philadelphia for money and supplies, etc. etc. Hamilton's early experience as a clerk with (and at one point personally managing the entire trading operation for) the trading firm Beekman and Cruger in the West Indies stood him in good stead to manage the logistical affairs of the Continental Army - and would later be utterly invaluable in setting the nascent United States on a firm financial footing after starting out in a position of impossible bankruptcy.
Hamilton did not lead "three infantry divisions" at Yorktown and the usage of the term "infantry division" is extremely misleading. A modern US Infantry Division numbers several thousand men. Hamilton led the American contingent of 400 Continental Light Infantrymen selected from General Peter Muhlenberg's division, a force that originally was supposed to have been led by one of General Lafayette's French Officers, Colonel Gimat. Hamilton is said to have protested so fervently and it was decided that since Redoubt Number 9 was to be assaulted by French Army troops under Major General Baron De Viomenil, it would look bad if another French officer commanded the American troops detailed to storm Redoubt Number 10. Thus command of the important night assault on Redoubt Number 10 was given to Colonel Hamilton.
The name of the anti-slavery group was the New York Manumission Society, not the New York Anti-Slavery Society. The group worked toward gradual manumission (Manumission, or enfranchisement, is the act of freeing slaves by their owners.)
If you'd like to know more about the remarkable life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton, please check out the Facebook page ALEXANDER HAMILTON: LIFE AND LEGACY. Thanks!
He was 24 when he became a secretary and died at 47. Did people back then just automatically look old? Because of the renditions make him seem older than what he actually reached in life.
People you have to understand, this video was poster in 2015, BEFORE the musical.
*reads title*
I think the real question is why do I know too much about Alexander Hamilton
**laughs in theatre nerd**
I imagined a Hamilton Musical fan seeing the thumbnail of this video and being like:
"Try me b!tch!"
What don't you know about Hamilton?
Me: nothing.
I read the title and was like: Bitch *PLEASE* I have listened to the Hamilton soundtrack enough to know pretty much everything.

I see Hamilton in the title and I have a small heart attack.
HE DIDNT THROW AWAY HIS SHOT
Yes he did

This sounds like a challenge

*And this is where you can find the wild Hamilton fans. Their natural habitats are in the comment sections of Alexander Hamilton videos making sweet music most of which is just Guns & Ships over and over again* We welcome all Hamilton fans A.k.a Hamiltrash
