All the credit goes to Lin manuel Miranda, is a song of his from his musical "Hamilton". I ONLY own the drawings. I put the workshop song hehe i hope you like it!!
Here's a fact: Eliza didnt attend Alexander's funeral because it was said she spent her days crying in bed until she decided to do everything she has done
French here. Did he actually decided to not shoot at the duel? Cays if yes, it's a little bit as if he decided to give up on his family too. Although I get shooting your friend is hard
@@badratymj9255 he did shoot, he shot a tree branch right above Burr's head which triggered Burr to shoot him. Apparently after the duel Burr said "I would have aimed for his heart if it weren't for the morning mist." It was kinda stupid of Hamilton not to aim for Burr because he was the one challenged to the duel so Burr was aiming to kill/injure him. I'm not exactly sur oof this is accurate but this is all I know about it
It's amazing what Eliza did after Alexander passed, and what she was able to accomplish despite being a women in the 1800's at the time of his passing. Fun fact: the orphanage still stands to this day just under a different name but think of all the children that were given a home because Eliza along with some tiger women founded the orphanage.
Plus all the debt that alex left her with she still managed to create so many great things and at the end of the day she was the one who told Alexanders story without telling her own she was the most kind selfless person in the entire musical at the end of the day no one really talks about the best of wives and best of women as much as she deserves to be talked about
Angelica, in Congratulations, yelled at him... "Never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife!" And in his dying hours, he wrote... "Best of wives and best of women...." Which means, right up to his dying moments, he truly never forgot what Eliza was to him. Ow.
Fun fact: When Phillip passed away Alexander's first born daughter, Angelica Hamilton, pretended like he was still alive. She was very close to him. A few years later, when Hamilton died, she went mad and she still played the songs on the piano that she sang with her father. Eventually, Eliza got to old to take care of her and she stayed at a friend's house until her death.
Can we take a minute to appreciate Eliza? She fell for Alex, got heart broken, her son died, her sisters died, her husband died. She still loved him and helped him even after the affair. She told Alex’s story and made an orphanage in memory of Alex. She spoke against slavery, talked with Alex soldiers, and gave funds to DC. As Hamilton says, “Best of wife’s, best of women”
@Peaches ! I agree she’s my favorite because how she acts and she is kind she is the reason we have the beautiful musical so everyone should be appreciate her
People keep going on about how Eliza spent her entire life trying to share Alexander's story that she didn't get to write her own. Little do you know, Eliza wrote her own story while telling Alexander's. Think about it, she raised funds for the Washington Monument, she spoke out against slavery, and opened the first private orphanage in New York, she was the living example of kindness and selflessness. So many things that are around today started with Eliza. You can't tell me Eliza didn't write her own story.
That's half true. In telling Alexander's story she tells her own story in parts, too. However, she was never a main character in his story, which means she was never someone discussed to the degree of Washington and such. As a result, we don't even know how she reacted to the scandal. We know she forgave him, but the idea that her initial reaction was to burn all the letters and get angry is just a theory because to this day her letters with Hamilton have not been found. It's theorised that she burnt them, but it has never been confirmed. So we don't know a lot about her, except from the little told about her in relation to Alexander's life and the accounts of others. Her story as an individual was never told like with Hamilton and such. The same goes for Angelica, though a lot is said about her.
Fun facts about Peggy: She died at age 42. She had three children, only one of which survived to being an adult. Peggy eloped, like Angelica. Alexander was with Peggy when she died, but Eliza wasnt. Peggy had been sick 2 or 3 years before she died. When the Schuyler mansion was under attack, Angelica and Eliza were both pregnant, and fled. Peggy was the only one that remembered the fourth sister and when to get her. She faced off with several Tories. When one stepped in front of her with a musket and demanded to know where her father was, Peggy responded he had gone to alarm the town. The Tories left, so Peggy basically saved all three of her sisters, and I'm guessing some of her brother's, lives. LET'S GO PEGGY. Edit: It’s been 2 years and I’m still getting replies, wild. Yes, she had a lot of brothers. Also most of this is alleged & yes her name was Margarita or something, Peggy was a nickname. This song still slaps tho
Eliza is my idol out of everybody in history. She not only opened the first ever private orphanage in new York City, but also spoke out against slavery and told Alexander's story. Now I'm gonna like my own comment.
*PRAISE ELIZA EVERYONE!* She dealt with Hamilton cheating on her, miscarriages, Hamilton and Philip dying, along with Angelica and Peggy too, and she outlived the whole Hamilsquad. HORY CRAP 10K LIKES TYSM
Eliza would’ve been proud. She used the rest of her life to tell Alexander’s story. She could’ve despised him after what he did but she didn’t. She kept his story alive. She did everything in her power. She was a strong woman.
She would also probably be disappointed that the Government did away with the orphanage. But proud that she kept her husband's memory alive and that his story is being told.
Actually, no one dies "from memory loss," but maybe she was suffering form some form of dementia toward the end and she died from something else, like a heart attack.
She grew up in a wealthy family but she didn't care about money, she cared about doing the right thing. She could have just done nothing but insted she established an orphanage and i bet you she treated those kids as her own. She took care of them and gave the kids a home. She had money but she used it for good. She also spoke out aganist slavey. She decaded her time to being a good person and she stayed stong though everything in her life from Alex cheating on her to losing her friends and family and watching them die. She is an idol and role model R.I.P Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton Edit: in a way she did what John Laurens would have wanted
I saw someone on Tumblr say that with "the lord in his kindness he gives me what you've always wanted, he gives me more time" she doesn't mean that she got the time Hamilton always wanted for himself but what he always wanted for HER
Well actually after he was shot, he died the day after the duel.. So He would have definitely had more to say to Eliza. And the letter at the beginning of this song was the last letter he wrote to Eliza.
This is true love. Alexander betrayed her, she gave him forgiveness, told his story, kept his legacy alive. She really did love him. She was so concentrated on telling his story she forgot to tell her own, and really didn't have anyone to tell hers. But in the end, we all tell each others story's. She was the reason he thrived before and after his death. She is a beautiful woman and needs to be more recognized. Edit: thank you for so many likes! I hope we can all tell Eliza's story!
Me: haha I won't cry! (After I cried when I watched the musical, listened to the song itself, ECT.) Me 40 seconds in: *uncontrollable sobbing and attempts to sing the song*
At the end of who live who dies who tells your story Eliza gasps at the audience and the light go out, *it stands as Eliza realizes that everyone in the audience came for her husband's legacy. To see his story, and realizes that she did do enough. They told his story*
Here is the actual last letter Alex wrote to eliza “This letter, my dear Eliza, will not be delivered to you, unless I shall first have terminated my earthly career; to begin, as I humbly hope from redeeming grace and divine mercy, a happy imortality. If it had been possible for me to avoided the interview, my love for you and my precios children would have been alone a decisive motive. But it was not possible, without sacrifice which would have rendered me unworthy to your esteem. I need not tell you of the pangs I feel, from the idea of quitting you and exposing you to the anguish which I know you would feel. Nor could I dweel on the topic lest it should unman me. The consolations of religion, my beloved, can alone support you; and these you have right to enjoy. Fly to the bosom of your god and comforted. With my last idea; I shall cherish the sweet hope of meeting you in a better world. Adieu best of Wives and best of Women. Embrace all my darling children for me. Ever yours A. H. July 4. 1804”
If Eliza could only see what Hamilton’s life has become.. one of the most famous and loved musicals of all. She’s such a brave and inspirational woman.. the kindest of all.
Eliza was so worried that nobody would remember Alexander, but while she was keeping his story alive she didn’t realize she made a better and more memorable one. No offense.
We need more people like Eliza. She was so very loyal, and forgiving. She could have shunned Alexander, she could have left him after what he did with Maria. But she forgave him. She established a orphanage, she told their stories. We should tell hers
Who Lives: Aaron Burr Who dies: John Laurens Who tells your story: Elizabeth Hamilton edit: note that this monolouge is directed to Alexander. notice the "your" in "who tells _your_ story" that's why he's not the one who dies, my mistake
Even after Alexander died, Eliza never married another man. That makes her loyal, she loved Alexander. And forgave him even after the affair. She stood by his side always. She will be missed. Our amazing Eliza.
Eliza is a true idol and a hero to all people. She forgave Alexander, even though she knew he had told Phillip to shoot for the sky and had also broken her trust by being disloyal towards her. While she was grieving for Phillip, a month before that one of the Schuyler Sisters, Margarita (Peggy) had d i e d and she was grieving her loss for that, as well as the loss of her child. Alexander couldn’t have done anything to make Eliza forgive him, Eliza chose to. That in itself is bravery. And kindness. Although, Alex literally could have said “No” to María Reynolds. Eliza chose to make Alexander’s legacy and life known over hers and that’s immense loyalty. Eliza is a model to all wives, husbands, and any sort of partner. We should all try to be like Elizabeth Hamilton!!! Edit 7/11/20: Jesus, thank you for all the likes!! :0
That would be Enough: "Let me be a part of the narrative" First Burn: "I'm Erasing myself From the Narrative" Who lives, who dies, who tells your story: "I'm putting myself back into the narrative."
For those who wanted to read the letter by itself: My very dear, Eliza. This letter will not be delivered to you, unless I shall first have terminated my earthly career to begin a happy immortality. I need not tell you of the pangs I feel from the idea of quitting you and exposing you to the anguish, which I know you would feel. Nor could I dwell on the topic lest it should unman me. Fly to the bosom of your God and be comforted with my last idea. I shall cherish the sweet hope of meeting you in a better world. Adieu, best of wives and best of women. Ever yours, -Alexander
This letter, my very dear Eliza, will not be delivered to you, unless I shall first have terminated my earthly career; to begin, as I humbly hope from redeeming grace and divine mercy, a happy immortality. If it had been possible for me to have avoided the interview, my love for you and my precious children would have been alone a decisive motive.

I love how when Eliza says, “ I interviewed every soldier who fought by your side.” Herc and Laff say, “ we tell your story.” And then Alex looks at John starts to cry and hugs him. It’s so amazing that the small detail of him hugging John just adds something.
Dear Eliza Hamilton, You have done enough. You changed the course of history. By establishing orphanages, you helped children who grew up with a family. Just like what you did Alexander. By telling Alexander's story, you have fulfilled his final wishes to preserve his legacy. You helped him get through his life and all the troubles he had. And you may ask? Who would preserve your story and legacy? We will, and we did. To tell the story of tonight. Sincerely, Everyone on RUclips who watched this.
I feel so bad for Eliza. She went through Alexander going towards war, bearing 8 of his children, went through his affair, started an orphanage, went through her father's, mothers, sisters and sons deaths and still spreads the story of the man who cheated on her. I don't think anyone will ever realise the strength of Elizabeth Schuyler Edit: omg tysm for the likes
I just thought of something !! Eliza’s family got rich from slave trading and in her final 50 or 40 years she spoke out against slavery the horrible thing that had brought an a amounce of wealth to her childhood and what had brought her to meet Alex (her status from wealth) she is so pure and innocent
I don't cry a lot, but this musical has grown on me so much. Eliza is the most powerful, inspiring woman I have ever heard of. Her husband cheated on her, told the world, and was forgiven. When he died, she dealt with all the criticism, but she carried on his legacy. She actually did something about his death. She interviewed all of those soldiers to get more stories. She raised money for the Washington Monument. She spoke out against slavery, and actually had views and beliefs to make this world a better place. She opened an orphanage and gave all those children love and care. She had the choice to do all these things, but she's Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. She's going to do what's right.
Angelica's line on Eliza is so genuinely true "You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind" she suffered a lot and even suffered from memory loss but despite that she still remembered her husband and kept his legacy alive
Eliza : take a break! Alex: no Angelica: take a break! Alex: no Phillip: please? Alex: no Maria: stay here and cheat on your wife Alex: I am in capable of saying the English version of the word "no"
Literally, the first second got me hard. I realized that Angie Hamilton wasn’t showing any emotions, just confusion. Due to her mental breakdown from Pip’s death. *gross sobbing*
I love how after hamilton died Eliza spent the rest of her life trying to make people remember him,and ya know how at the end eliza gasps? Well the person that takes her hand at the end of the musical was not hamilton it was supposed to be lin trying to show eliza that he had told their story, So happy am I right?
When she said "have I done enough?" I sobbed so hard. Eliza, you have done more than enough. Even though your husband cheated on you, you stayed strong and dedicated a lot of time to making sure his final wish comes true. We will always remember Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schyler Hamilton. R.I.P. 😭
I can't even imagine just how much she cared for him. I'm sure it was slightly exaggerated for the sake of the song but she worked so hard to make sure her love wasn't forgotten and I think that is a level of love not everyone reaches
Out of the...hundreds of times that I had listened to the final version of this song... it had somehow never occurred to me that she possibly opened the orphanage because her husband was an orphan. When I saw his reaction, I broke.
Knowing Alexander Hamilton was an orphan, when it shows her establishing an orphanage, it hits so much harder. And when Hamilton cries because of it, it just makes me choke with tears-
me: *listens to every part of the song* God, that's so, like i'm so proud... so, beoutiful :) me:* listen ThE OrhPHanAge* *fucking cries like a fountain* Elisxhasjkj the oirofgahe!!! my mom: what the--
Can i say ELIZA deserve more people being like her...she forgive hamilton even tho he cheated and confirmed it...she was heartbroken of her first child being died before her...she deserve more people knowing her she was a strong woman...she's a very *VERY* amazing/good example for girls not just them but everyone
This is the letter that I know of: This letter, my very dear Eliza, will not be delivered to you, unless I shall first have terminated my earthly career; to begin, as I humbly hope from redeeming grace and divine mercy, a happy immortality. If it had been possible for me to have avoided the interview, my love for you and my precious children would have been alone a decisive motive - But it was not possible, without sacrifices which would have rendered me unworthy of your esteem.

With my last idea; I shall cherish the sweet hope of meeting you in a better world. Adieu best of wives and best of Women. Embrace all my darling Children for me. Ever yours A H July 4. 1804 Mrs. Hamilton Excuse me while I go cry... Note: The spelling errors are what he actually wrote. I have a copy of the letter, It came with the book Hamilton: The revolution. Not trying to advertise it-
So no one is talking about this, but I just wanna say, I love how in the beginning, in that funeral seen, everyone is crying except Angelica Hamilton, because of what happened to her after Phillip's death. I like that little detail.
@@deadfire910 After Philip died, she went insane and went into a state of "eternal childhood" and sometimes she wasn't even able to recognize family members
When Daveed, Oak and Anthony sung "we tell your story." I almost broke down. It wasnt until I replayed that part and heard Anthony go up a note, I just cried, I just balled my eyes out.
You just know that when Lin dies he's going to be greeted by all these characters and they're going to thank him for what he did. And you just know Elizas going to start crying too.
Eliza, you did more than enough. And yet, no one remembers her. In all the history books, she's only mentioned as Alexander's wife. No more. Not even the orphanage that she founded probably all by herself. History forgets, but we remember.
and now thanks to this wonderful musical, Eliza was known more than just Alexander Hamilton's wife. If it wasnt for Eliza, no one would know how Alexander Hamilton was in the days...they might think him as poorly like Jefferson and Madison said. It was Eliza who brought back Alexander's glory back...This musical called 'Hamilton' is not only to Alexander Hamilton but also Elizabeth Hamilton
She co-founded the first private orphanage in NYC and she was truly the strongest and most amazing woman I’ve ever heard of. Also my history book only mentions Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. That angers me.
How can they do not know about Hamilton and how both of husband and wife did so much for the country. Not to mention, where is Lafayette anf the others? They did so much too
Ms Hammy My history book didn’t even mention Madison. ;-; it saddens me that we don’t learn about the founding fathers other then Jefferson and Washington. Even then, we don’t learn anything about them but the good things.
The additional part of the Animatic just.. goodness. It made the animatic even more powerful I remember thinking "oh, everyone's saying this made them cry. I probably wont cry." Then thinking "oh my god! This so so emotional!" While sobbing. :) it really is a powerful animatic
Well the Louisiana bought from France was far bigger then the State of Louisiana (even reaches a little bit into Canada) but it did include Louisiana (state)
I like this version the most because it sounds like there's more emotion while singing it and that's one of the true elements for a good song. If there's emotion you know there was actual love put into singing it
I like this video better than the stage production to be honest. Showing all the accomplishments she did, showing Alexander reunited with his friends and son, then Eliza reunited with all of them...darn it!!!! Here come the tears again!!!!
There are many more, like Alexander. Many, that did big things, and they were still forgotten. I hate that. Why we forget about people, that should be remembered? I'm from Europe, but it still hurts, that these special people were forgotten. But in the same time, this musical is telling their story ❤️
I finally stopped crying after it ended then I realized that the reason she established the first private orphanage in New York City is because Alexander was an orphan and orphans and Alex was an orphan and ehhhhh I don’t know why I just realized that but now I’m crying again
I think that she didn’t want that other kids would have as difficult life as Alexander’s And now thanks to Eliza more than 20.000 kids have lived their lives in harmony and peace UwU (oh, God I’m crying again)
Eliza is the real hero here... I really love how she still was strong and happy even though lot’s of negative events happened to her in her lifetime... And the most sad and warm-hearting thing here is that the letter sent by Alexander was Real! And I was crying a lot at my room when I found out... *To Eliza! The greatest woman who has ever lived!*
To be honest she could have been apart of politics and help with the founding like Martha Washington but she didn’t really like the spotlight so she inside helped her husband, I think she said something about be a little bit frustrated cause her husband wasn’t getting enough recognition for something he did I’m not sure exactly but it goes along those lines
Fact: 211 years later, Eliza Hamilton’s orphanage - now a family services agency called Graham Windham - is still helping kids get their shot. Graham Windham serves thousands of kids and families each year. Just like Eliza’s husband, these kids survived a tough start in life. Graham Windham provides services like family counseling and treatment, after school academic support, health services, and other services that help kids thrive into adulthood. I got this from this site: www.elizasstory.org/ PS: No matter how many times I watch this, It gets me everytime
Death The Kid He was saying that Washington died before hamilton and I said that’s not the point because I was trying to make a joke and then I guess he just deleted the comment
I have to say Eliza is one of my role models because she never married another man she made a freaking ophanage she spoke out against slavery and she did so much and she was put through so much she deserves everything and this amazing well done
a random person yeah 😭 in the original version, they thought of making both pippa and lin sing it together since lin said "eliza, my love, take your time" in 'the world was wide enough', having both of them sing it together as eliza and alexander finally seeing each other again, as eliza dies, was like a "finally" kind of moment for the both of them. sidenote: during eliza's final years, a visitor heard her say "i'm tired of this. i want to see hamilton." 😭
All Eliza wanted was for people to tell their story and the fact that she was almost forgotten from history bothers me. If it wasn’t for Lin I don’t think many people would care for Hamilton and what he did for us. America wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for Hamilton
I almost cried, this was so sad. Honestly, Eliza is amazing (she is definitely my most favourited character out of all of the characters. Besides Laurens of course) Edit: never mind I pressed a time stamp from a comment and I started crying
Fun fact: Eliza didn't go to Alexander's funeral because she couldn't bare it. Instead she spent (I think ) 2 weeks in her bed sobbing and doing nothing. Then one day she did the things she talks about in the song. (I'm not sure if it's exactly true because I saw it on another video but I thought it was cool)
Here's a fact:
Eliza didnt attend Alexander's funeral because it was said she spent her days crying in bed until she decided to do everything she has done
French here. Did he actually decided to not shoot at the duel? Cays if yes, it's a little bit as if he decided to give up on his family too. Although I get shooting your friend is hard
@@badratymj9255 he did shoot, he shot a tree branch right above Burr's head which triggered Burr to shoot him.

Way to make half everyone cry here-
Alexander did not deserve her. Periodt
I just stopped crying until I saw this…
It's amazing what Eliza did after Alexander passed, and what she was able to accomplish despite being a women in the 1800's at the time of his passing. Fun fact: the orphanage still stands to this day just under a different name but think of all the children that were given a home because Eliza along with some tiger women founded the orphanage.
Angelica: best sister
Eliza: best wife
Peggy: best background

No one talks about how Eliza did everything she did with still being in at a disadvantage due to her gender and yet did so much! Truly amazing!
I know right I only found out about her in the musical I don't remember anything in the history book only a little about Hamilton
OMG I was thinking about that too. When she says"I speak out against slavery" and I remember women couldn't do that much back then.
Plus all the debt that alex left her with she still managed to create so many great things and at the end of the day she was the one who told Alexanders story without telling her own she was the most kind selfless person in the entire musical at the end of the day no one really talks about the best of wives and best of women as much as she deserves to be talked about
@@theowltalk8039 i might be confused but i think the debt was reduced by some people
Wow! I’m glad people are noticing this!! Thank you very much!
Angelica, in Congratulations, yelled at him...
"Never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife!"
And in his dying hours, he wrote...
"Best of wives and best of women...."
Which means, right up to his dying moments, he truly never forgot what Eliza was to him.

Alexander wrote the letters before he left to Hudson and he told the mailman that if he died to give Eliza the letter
This is why hamliza will ever stay true in the musical AND historically.
Fun fact: When Phillip passed away Alexander's first born daughter, Angelica Hamilton, pretended like he was still alive. She was very close to him. A few years later, when Hamilton died, she went mad and she still played the songs on the piano that she sang with her father. Eventually, Eliza got to old to take care of her and she stayed at a friend's house until her death.

She told Alex’s story and made an orphanage in memory of Alex. She spoke against slavery, talked with Alex soldiers, and gave funds to DC. As Hamilton says, “Best of wife’s, best of women”

People keep going on about how Eliza spent her entire life trying to share Alexander's story that she didn't get to write her own. Little do you know, Eliza wrote her own story while telling Alexander's.
Think about it, she raised funds for the Washington Monument, she spoke out against slavery, and opened the first private orphanage in New York, she was the living example of kindness and selflessness. So many things that are around today started with Eliza. You can't tell me Eliza didn't write her own story.
I think it's more that she told Alexander's story instead of hers, but in telling his she wrote her own. So Lin told both of their stories.
Eliza is amazing
You deserve a medal-
PEOPLE STOP MAKING ME CRY MORE
That's half true. In telling Alexander's story she tells her own story in parts, too. However, she was never a main character in his story, which means she was never someone discussed to the degree of Washington and such. As a result, we don't even know how she reacted to the scandal. We know she forgave him, but the idea that her initial reaction was to burn all the letters and get angry is just a theory because to this day her letters with Hamilton have not been found.

Fun facts about Peggy: She died at age 42. She had three children, only one of which survived to being an adult. Peggy eloped, like Angelica. Alexander was with Peggy when she died, but Eliza wasnt. Peggy had been sick 2 or 3 years before she died. When the Schuyler mansion was under attack, Angelica and Eliza were both pregnant, and fled.

I just imagine Eliza and Angelica screeching at Peggy when she saved the fourth sister
Who was the forth sister??
I think it is Wendy because I had Searched it up on Google but since Philip skyler had about 15 children we don't know which sister
Eliza is my idol out of everybody in history. She not only opened the first ever private orphanage in new York City, but also spoke out against slavery and told Alexander's story. Now I'm gonna like my own comment.

Don't forget that she established the first national orphanage in New York City
What's miscarriges
Eliza would’ve been proud. She used the rest of her life to tell Alexander’s story. She could’ve despised him after what he did but she didn’t. She kept his story alive. She did everything in her power. She was a strong woman.
That's what makes me cry
She kept everyone elses flame lit up
But she didn't do the same for herself.
I'd be strong and b*tchslap Hamilton to Jupiter.
You made a typo there, it's is (it's a half joke pls don't take offense)
She would also probably be disappointed that the Government did away with the orphanage. But proud that she kept her husband's memory alive and that his story is being told.
Sad fact:
Eliza died from Memory loss, but she NEVER forgot about Alexander Hamilton... That's what I call True love 😔♥️
That’s so awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's so cuuuttteee 😍😍😍
I really hope she was satisfied about what she did.
Angelica, don't forget you were the best sister, who loved your sister very much.
Actually, no one dies "from memory loss," but maybe she was suffering form some form of dementia toward the end and she died from something else, like a heart attack.
Fact: Eliza didn’t go to his funeral because she was to sad to leave home
Thanks for the likes :)
Didn’t Angelica make her go to it?
Skyler and Kit just proves how sad she was. she went through so much yet she stayed strong
😭
:c
Cindy Sánchez no..
This musical wouldn't have existed if it weren't for Eliza
Ethan tubera oh my god!!! I feel the same way!!!
EXACTLY!!!!
Damn i just thought of that...
Very true
Ethan tubera no one gives her enough credit
She grew up in a wealthy family but she didn't care about money, she cared about doing the right thing. She could have just done nothing but insted she established an orphanage and i bet you she treated those kids as her own. She took care of them and gave the kids a home. She had money but she used it for good. She also spoke out aganist slavey. She decaded her time to being a good person and she stayed stong though everything in her life from Alex cheating on her to losing her friends and family and watching them die. She is an idol and role model R.I.P Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton
Edit: in a way she did what John Laurens would have wanted
You told her story! C":
When i say i cried-
At the end of the day she loved her husband till deat-hfjdjsjsj she was the best!!!!!!
This whole song is made weirdly more emotional by the fact that in the play one of Hamilton's last statements was "Eliza my love take your time"
I saw someone on Tumblr say that with "the lord in his kindness he gives me what you've always wanted, he gives me more time" she doesn't mean that she got the time Hamilton always wanted for himself but what he always wanted for HER
Well actually after he was shot, he died the day after the duel.. So He would have definitely had more to say to Eliza. And the letter at the beginning of this song was the last letter he wrote to Eliza.
Eliza: "Oh.. can I show you what im proudest of..?"
Chorus: " .. The orphange .."
Me: *MENTAL BREAKDOWN MODE ACTIVATED* Intense sobbing for 3 days.
that's so me! soooo me 😭
Same
Lol same
This is true love. Alexander betrayed her, she gave him forgiveness, told his story, kept his legacy alive. She really did love him. She was so concentrated on telling his story she forgot to tell her own, and really didn't have anyone to tell hers. But in the end, we all tell each others story's. She was the reason he thrived before and after his death. She is a beautiful woman and needs to be more recognized. Edit: thank you for so many likes! I hope we can all tell Eliza's story!
Slimey Unicorns 1289 this is why she is amazing
Eliza was too good and pure
Slimey Unicorns 1289 how did Alexander betray her him and Aaron Burr got in a duel and he lost Soo he died
Nada M He had an affair with Maria Reynolds
Uh, hi ohhh ok then
you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
😭😭
And a million years ago she said to me:
*_this one is mine~!_*
Thanks for calling me that (JK I joke with my name a lot)
I don't know whetherto love you or hate you for this; probably both at the same time.
if eliza wouldnt have said 'this ones mine' none of this would have ever happened. oof
Me: I won't cry
Choir: the orphenage
Me: *burst out crying*
Me: haha I won't cry! (After I cried when I watched the musical, listened to the song itself, ECT.)
Me 40 seconds in: *uncontrollable sobbing and attempts to sing the song*
Wait is an ensemble or a choir-
Same 😭
The orphanage part always gets me 😭😭😭
:( literally me
At the end of who live who dies who tells your story Eliza gasps at the audience and the light go out, *it stands as Eliza realizes that everyone in the audience came for her husband's legacy. To see his story, and realizes that she did do enough. They told his story*
Why u do me like dis
I just stopped crying after the video and you made me cry again.
Actually the gasp is showing her last breath before she died. Well that's what I think.
I was holding back tears after crying before this, but that failed afterwards.
Yes I was there at the performance and she looked out at the audience and gasped
Here is the actual last letter Alex wrote to eliza
“This letter, my dear Eliza, will not be delivered to you, unless I shall first have terminated my earthly career; to begin, as I humbly hope from redeeming grace and divine mercy, a happy imortality.
If it had been possible for me to avoided the interview, my love for you and my precios children would have been alone a decisive motive. But it was not possible, without sacrifice which would have rendered me unworthy to your esteem. I need not tell you of the pangs I feel, from the idea of quitting you and exposing you to the anguish which I know you would feel. Nor could I dweel on the topic lest it should unman me.
The consolations of religion, my beloved, can alone support you; and these you have right to enjoy. Fly to the bosom of your god and comforted. With my last idea; I shall cherish the sweet hope of meeting you in a better world.
Adieu best of Wives and best of Women. Embrace all my darling children for me.

It’s on my birthday too-
Dang.
1804- wow
If Eliza could only see what Hamilton’s life has become.. one of the most famous and loved musicals of all. She’s such a brave and inspirational woman.. the kindest of all.
I wish we could see her reaction...
When Lin dies she'll probably thank him
Alexander Baconton I don’t want to think about that but you’re right.
@@randommeme2212 Lin dying and suddenly seeing Eliza Hamilton like mind blown
*spoilers*
Thats why she let out a gasp at the end of the Play
Eliza was so worried that nobody would remember Alexander, but while she was keeping his story alive she didn’t realize she made a better and more memorable one.
No offense.
PRAISE THE HERO
No that’s fair
Fact.
Although I feel like thanks to this musical a lot more people know of him, Eliza’s work didn’t go to waste yet.
Its the reason why Lin-Manuel wrote 'Hamilton' and not 'Alexander Hamilton'
We need more people like Eliza. She was so very loyal, and forgiving. She could have shunned Alexander, she could have left him after what he did with Maria. But she forgave him. She established a orphanage, she told their stories.
We should tell hers
Eliza Schuyler-Hamilton Day. August 9 (her birthday). now we shall celebrate it as a holiday
@@thebirb1762 yes

Even after Alexander died, Eliza never married another man. That makes her loyal, she loved Alexander. And forgave him even after the affair. She stood by his side always. She will be missed. Our amazing Eliza.
You speak the truth all the way. Eliza was a great woman and is missed. Our incredible Eliza. (Drowns in a pool of tears because Eliza was so great)

Eliza is a true idol and a hero to all people.
She forgave Alexander, even though she knew he had told Phillip to shoot for the sky and had also broken her trust by being disloyal towards her.
While she was grieving for Phillip, a month before that one of the Schuyler Sisters, Margarita (Peggy) had d i e d and she was grieving her loss for that, as well as the loss of her child.
Alexander couldn’t have done anything to make Eliza forgive him, Eliza chose to. That in itself is bravery. And kindness. Although, Alex literally could have said “No” to María Reynolds.
Eliza chose to make Alexander’s legacy and life known over hers and that’s immense loyalty. Eliza is a model to all wives, husbands, and any sort of partner. We should all try to be like Elizabeth Hamilton!!!

Okay- hear me out-
I know that the “A.H” stood for Alexander Hamilton but I kid you not- the moment I read it, I screamed “AHH!”
Oop, I follow you 0-o
Anyone noticed how Eliza never raps in any of the songs? That's because she doesn't need to rush, she outlived almost everyone.
Because she was given more time 😭
Stopp 😭
I love how when Eliza says, “ I interviewed every soldier who fought by your side.” Herc and Laff say, “ we tell your story.” And then Alex looks at John starts to cry and hugs him. It’s so amazing that the small detail of him hugging John just adds something.
Phillip Hamilton yessss this makes me cry so hard
Phillip Hamilton don’t forget that John goes on a higher note that laff and herc
I really wished that Burr would have should up with them to.
Rowan Hamilton
Adds another punch on your face.
I interview every soldier...Laurens, huh?
Dear Eliza Hamilton,
You have done enough. You changed the course of history. By establishing orphanages, you helped children who grew up with a family. Just like what you did Alexander. By telling Alexander's story, you have fulfilled his final wishes to preserve his legacy. You helped him get through his life and all the troubles he had. And you may ask? Who would preserve your story and legacy? We will, and we did. To tell the story of tonight.
Sincerely,
Everyone on RUclips who watched this.
Bless this comment. . .it's beautiful
This comment alone made me cry goddamn I hate being sensitive!
Irreplaceable OMG YES
AHHH THE CRY IS COMING AHHHHHHH!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
I don't think she will read this mate
I feel so bad for Eliza. She went through Alexander going towards war, bearing 8 of his children, went through his affair, started an orphanage, went through her father's, mothers, sisters and sons deaths and still spreads the story of the man who cheated on her. I don't think anyone will ever realise the strength of Elizabeth Schuyler
Edit: omg tysm for the likes
Art Nerd SHE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST SLAVERY REMEBERRR
ikr😭
Art Nerd its true she is umm was😭😭a brave woman
I just thought of something !! Eliza’s family got rich from slave trading and in her final 50 or 40 years she spoke out against slavery the horrible thing that had brought an a amounce of wealth to her childhood and what had brought her to meet Alex (her status from wealth) she is so pure and innocent
She also had at least 3 miscarriages, 1 or 2 of which Alexander wasn't there to comfort her. I also think only 1 of her children outlived her.
when Hercules , Lafayette n Laurens came to Hamilton's side n said "we told your story" n Hamilton hugged Laurens i broke down in tears😭😭
Did you hear the shaking in Laurens voice
@@scaryscar1972 no i don't think i did ! ima listen again n see
@@scaryscar1972 I had to re listen for that but omg its such a small and beautiful detail
I don't cry a lot, but this musical has grown on me so much. Eliza is the most powerful, inspiring woman I have ever heard of. Her husband cheated on her, told the world, and was forgiven. When he died, she dealt with all the criticism, but she carried on his legacy. She actually did something about his death. She interviewed all of those soldiers to get more stories. She raised money for the Washington Monument. She spoke out against slavery, and actually had views and beliefs to make this world a better place. She opened an orphanage and gave all those children love and care. She had the choice to do all these things, but she's Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. She's going to do what's right.

The saddest part is that Eliza tried so hard to keep Hamilton’s spirit alive only for him to be “that guy on the 10 dollar bill”
and the guy with an awesome musical :)
And that guy in every history book
And the guy who would inspire so many people to do more and be brave, y'know, nothing much.
Wait hes on the 10 dollar bill?
that guy has been seen by every american in the wold
"...Best of wife, and best of women"
YAS this is she!!!!
Angelica's line on Eliza is so genuinely true "You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind"
she suffered a lot and even suffered from memory loss but despite that she still remembered her husband and kept his legacy alive
Eliza : take a break!
Alex: no
Angelica: take a break!
Alex: no
Phillip: please?
Alex: no
Maria: stay here and cheat on your wife
Alex: I am in capable of saying the English version of the word "no"
Now I'm imagining Alex saying 'no' in French but Maria doesn't understand so she keeps going
I can’t even wth
Don't you mean:
Alexander: I am physically incapable of saying the two-letter English word for refusal

I love how after hamilton died Eliza spent the rest of her life trying to make people remember him,and ya know how at the end eliza gasps? Well the person that takes her hand at the end of the musical was not hamilton it was supposed to be lin trying to show eliza that he had told their story, So happy am I right?
Lin acc comfirmed this is not true but I really wish it was
Hi just wanted to remind you of your Hamilton phase hope you get obsessed again
When she said "have I done enough?" I sobbed so hard. Eliza, you have done more than enough. Even though your husband cheated on you, you stayed strong and dedicated a lot of time to making sure his final wish comes true. We will always remember Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schyler Hamilton. R.I.P. 😭

So no one is talking about this, but I just wanna say,
I love how in the beginning, in that funeral seen, everyone is crying except Angelica Hamilton, because of what happened to her after Phillip's death. I like that little detail.
Wait, what happened to her?
@@deadfire910 After Philip died, she went insane and went into a state of "eternal childhood" and sometimes she wasn't even able to recognize family members
Corri B Great, now I’m crying again. I just finished too 😂
I’ve seen this video at least 100 times and I never noticed that! Good eye thanks for the insight!
Thanks for pointing it out! I didn't notice it but I went back and you're right, it's ingenious.
When Daveed, Oak and Anthony sung "we tell your story." I almost broke down. It wasnt until I replayed that part and heard Anthony go up a note, I just cried, I just balled my eyes out.

I,, i just heard that
Why the heck does that make it sadder,, idk why but it just is
its like

we'll tell your story
we'll tell your stOOry
Anthony is great
You just know that when Lin dies he's going to be greeted by all these characters and they're going to thank him for what he did. And you just know Elizas going to start crying too.

Kid Friendly Content Wait 'Till you see the part where Eliza is old-
Phillip Hamilton oH goLLy-
Eliza, you did more than enough. And yet, no one remembers her. In all the history books, she's only mentioned as Alexander's wife. No more. Not even the orphanage that she founded probably all by herself. History forgets, but we remember.
and now thanks to this wonderful musical, Eliza was known more than just Alexander Hamilton's wife. If it wasnt for Eliza, no one would know how Alexander Hamilton was in the days...they might think him as poorly like Jefferson and Madison said. It was Eliza who brought back Alexander's glory back...This musical called 'Hamilton' is not only to Alexander Hamilton but also Elizabeth Hamilton
She co-founded the first private orphanage in NYC and she was truly the strongest and most amazing woman I’ve ever heard of. Also my history book only mentions Washington, Jefferson, and Madison. That angers me.
How can they do not know about Hamilton and how both of husband and wife did so much for the country. Not to mention, where is Lafayette anf the others? They did so much too
Ms Hammy My history book didn’t even mention Madison. ;-; it saddens me that we don’t learn about the founding fathers other then Jefferson and Washington. Even then, we don’t learn anything about them but the good things.
They don’t mention our founding fathers enough, we definitely remember and let their legacy live on
The additional part of the Animatic just.. goodness. It made the animatic even more powerful
I remember thinking "oh, everyone's saying this made them cry. I probably wont cry."
Then thinking "oh my god! This so so emotional!" While sobbing. :) it really is a powerful animatic
Bluu Puff same!
I can’t be the only one that literally breaks down every time when Angelica smiles at Hamilton. The smile is just SO pure and it gets me every time.
Me too
“ I got Louisiana on sale. “
Ahaha.. my state was on sale. 👏🏽
you know...that probably explains why our state can be wack sometimes.
Sameeeee
Well the Louisiana bought from France was far bigger then the State of Louisiana (even reaches a little bit into Canada) but it did include Louisiana (state)
TheTwilightGamer i didnt need the explanation. seeing how old this comment is.
gianna well still, it was much more then your state
I like this version the most because it sounds like there's more emotion while singing it and that's one of the true elements for a good song. If there's emotion you know there was actual love put into singing it
What version is this from??
I like this video better than the stage production to be honest. Showing all the accomplishments she did, showing Alexander reunited with his friends and son, then Eliza reunited with all of them...darn it!!!! Here come the tears again!!!!
Lmao nvm i found out where the audio is from. It’s the workshop version~ just search it uppp
It does
Mirah ya?
i just realiized in this version both eliza and hamilton sing "its only a matter of time"
at 3:43
Oh you right!
I’m crying more now
That's my favorite part of the song.
It’s so heart warming at 3:28 because Alexander would always tell Eliza one day they would live on a farm and grow flowers and have a beautiful garden
Alexander and Eliza honestly need more recognization. It’s sad that he’s known as the ‘forgotten founding father’
And now he's one of the most well known ;)
That's why the play is so groundbreaking
Not anymore ✨
There are many more, like Alexander. Many, that did big things, and they were still forgotten. I hate that. Why we forget about people, that should be remembered? I'm from Europe, but it still hurts, that these special people were forgotten. But in the same time, this musical is telling their story ❤️
People are forgotten because no one cares a damn about history anymore
I finally stopped crying after it ended then I realized that the reason she established the first private orphanage in New York City is because Alexander was an orphan and orphans and Alex was an orphan and ehhhhh I don’t know why I just realized that but now I’m crying again
oof me too
I think that she didn’t want that other kids would have as difficult life as Alexander’s
And now thanks to Eliza more than 20.000 kids have lived their lives in harmony and peace UwU (oh, God I’m crying again)
Eliza is the real hero here...
I really love how she still was strong and happy even though lot’s of negative events happened to her in her lifetime...
And the most sad and
warm-hearting thing here is that the letter sent by Alexander was Real! And I was crying a lot at my room when I found out...
*To Eliza! The greatest woman who has ever lived!*
There should be a holiday like Eliza Schuyler-Hamilton Day. No cap that’s a historic holiday I would celebrate
I totally agree. Eliza is a wonderful character, strong and incredible. I always cry when I hear the end of Hamilton ;_;
TO ELIZA
And she did all that while she had a disadvantage for being a woman (this is obviously from a long time ago lol)
TO ELIZAA
I *am* funny
Maybe she'd take over Burr as narrator?
Well it is political centered, maybe she would be, maybe she wouldn't be, who knows except jesus?
Change your mind? I’m not going to try I agree.
@Some random person yeah she aint a founding father shes a founding *mother*
To be honest she could have been apart of politics and help with the founding like Martha Washington but she didn’t really like the spotlight so she inside helped her husband, I think she said something about be a little bit frustrated cause her husband wasn’t getting enough recognition for something he did I’m not sure exactly but it goes along those lines
Fact: 211 years later, Eliza Hamilton’s orphanage - now a family services agency called Graham Windham - is still helping kids get their shot. Graham Windham serves thousands of kids and families each year. Just like Eliza’s husband, these kids survived a tough start in life. Graham Windham provides services like family counseling and treatment, after school academic support, health services, and other services that help kids thrive into adulthood.

Who's your favourite superhero?
Me: Eliza Schuyler Hamilton
Lucía Gómez samee
Alyssa Xu oMGGGG YESH
*And Peggy*
yeah I’m going to start saying that.
Alyssa Xu Holy-
Eliza deserves so much more credit. None of these would’ve been possible without her. She went through so much, she really is a wonderful woman.
Washington: sorry son...
Hamilton: CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME!
Rebel 428 not the point
Alexander Hamilton9248 what did he say :/
Death The Kid He was saying that Washington died before hamilton and I said that’s not the point because I was trying to make a joke and then I guess he just deleted the comment
Alexander Hamilton9248 oh. Why’d he delete it because you said you were making a joke lol
Death The Kid idk maybe after 3 likes he got embarrassed and deleted it
I have to say Eliza is one of my role models because she never married another man she made a freaking ophanage she spoke out against slavery and she did so much and she was put through so much she deserves everything and this amazing well done
you made me start crying again aaaaaaaaa
I wish Eliza could see all the comments about her in this comment section.
Her ghost migth be proud.
@@itsthevoidmoth4463 Please be proud, Ms. Eliza Schuyler Hamilton! We will tell your story!

i love how in this song alexander/lin sung "its only a matter of time" with eliza/phillipa. it's just so sweet and a brilliant part of the song
Hamilton: they will tell our story?
Burr: No
Hamilton: .....
Burr: they will sing it.
Fabiana Larco YOU LITTLE SMART - 😂
Fabiana Larco Thanks for making me smile and laugh today 😄😃😂
Fabiana Larco ham: why though
NOOOOO I'm still crying but now I'm laughing
Seqcrt Burr: blame your counterpart... Lin!
Me: "I am a cold, emotionless person with an empty soul."
Also me:**violently sobbing rn**
Mirajane Strauss relatable lmao
Mirajane Strauss Omg so relatable
*Welp* thats a mood
Mirajane Strauss ME TOO
Mirajane Strauss WAIT BISH FAIRY TAIL YASSS
DID I JUST HEAR LIN MANUEL MIRANDA IN THE “It’s only a matter of time”
a random person yeah 😭 in the original version, they thought of making both pippa and lin sing it together since lin said "eliza, my love, take your time" in 'the world was wide enough', having both of them sing it together as eliza and alexander finally seeing each other again, as eliza dies, was like a "finally" kind of moment for the both of them. sidenote: during eliza's final years, a visitor heard her say "i'm tired of this. i want to see hamilton." 😭
Trixsha Nicole *sob*
Trixsha Nicole Eliza is literally me “I’m tired of life.I WANNA DIE*
Before watching Hamilton I thought it was overrated. Now here I am getting all emotional about it. This animatic was beautifully done, great work!
All Eliza wanted was for people to tell their story and the fact that she was almost forgotten from history bothers me. If it wasn’t for Lin I don’t think many people would care for Hamilton and what he did for us. America wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t for Hamilton
Rattlers 66 they teach about Hamilton in college history class, it was his 100% fault he got shot
Erika Maya can you tell the details of it? I’m curious now😂
me to
Im not sure but i think he told Burr to have some kind of “duel” so when they turn around they shoot each other , Alex didn’t shoot :/
It’s Carlyn pretty sure it was burr who started the duel
bro i'm ACTUALLY crying oh my god. the part where she is reunited with her family has me in hysterics
I almost cried, this was so sad. Honestly, Eliza is amazing (she is definitely my most favourited character out of all of the characters. Besides Laurens of course)
Edit: never mind I pressed a time stamp from a comment and I started crying
@@natduh8775
Saw it live in Chicago...cried.
Sammeeeeeeeee
"i established the first private orphanage in new york city"
gives me goosebumps everytime for some reason.
Fun fact: Eliza didn't go to Alexander's funeral because she couldn't bare it. Instead she spent (I think ) 2 weeks in her bed sobbing and doing nothing. Then one day she did the things she talks about in the song. (I'm not sure if it's exactly true because I saw it on another video but I thought it was cool)
