The Real History of Alexander Hamilton
Check out my new history video about A Knight's Tale: • The Real History of A Knight's Tale |...
How historically accurate is Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton? In this video essay I fact check the musical against the history books and bring you the real history of Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, Washington and all their founding brothers.
This isn't a top ten of historical inaccuracies in Hamilton; while I get into some of that this is more to provide you with a historical context to put the story in. What was life actually like during the American revolution? What does the assumption of state's debts really mean, and what happened in Boston that's referenced in Farmer Refuted (because it's not just the tea party).

For more reading on this topic I recommend Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis which breaks the American revolution and its aftermath into bite-sized and understandable stories, many of which line up well with Hamilton: An American Musical.
