Happy Independence Day everyone!

Wait........ He Doesn't look like Lin Manuel Miranda 😢

I am not American and honestly if it weren't for the musical I wouldn't even have heard of Hamilton. Glad to learn more about him.

I often wonder about how different the world would have been if Alexander hadn’t went to the duel

They should seriously make a broadway musical about this guy.

For the record, he's always been on the $10 bill 💵. It even says it in the musical: "the $10 Founding Father, without a father."

How ironic that they wanted "freedom " from England yet had no isdue with slavery .

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

Alexander Hamilton is my Grandfather, 7 times removed. There are millions of us in America!

Just by far one of the most brilliant minds that has walked on this earth and given the chance would have been a fantastic president.

For last 60 years i tried reading about u.s history and specialty about founding fathers. It started on 1965 when I wrote a letter to united states embassy in Tehran to send me some books for our High school library . Whin two months I received 52 books published as wheel of the History containing the biography of most us presidents and hero’s of the various wars. I started reading these fascinating book until coming to United states in1969.

From a Canadian...I've watched all of your documentaries on the founding fathers and am impressed with your even-handed coverage of all of them, pointing their faults and failings as well as their strengths. Very refreshing...thank you for making these videos available to the general public...

Hamilton was a brilliant man.

I've only watched 24 mins. so far, but I've already learned a lot about the Revolutionary War and about Hamilton. I knew nothing about him before this documentary. I continue to be in amazement at how this country was founded! Thank you for this video!

The 2008 HBO TV Series 'John Adams' was a marvellous historical dramaticisation that covers Hamilton very well towards the end. It shows him grasp the necessities of nationhood, perhaps better than any of his peers. He was the rational centralist who argued against a devolved vision. He was a major constitutional and economic architect. He was the one who gave government finances a firm foundation. A great man, the rock on which a young USA set down its roots. Sadly brought down by his flaws, he deserves to be better known. Thank you for this, I found it very helpful.

We wouldn't have the economic system we have today, if not for Alexander Hamilton. His economic papers he wrote, on commerce, show what a visionary Alexander Hamilton was.

They should make an Alexander Hamilton TV show.

A great man who did so much for this country... to make our country great. We all owe him a lot. Unfortunate how 'things turned out for him.' Thank you for this doc., may those unaware learn about him.

Who else has a crush on Hamilton, even though he’s been dead for a couple of centuries? He’s absolutely one of the most amazing men in all world history, and definitely the most amazing man in all of US history. He had the worst upbringing imaginable, he couldn’t even escape a natural disaster kicking his a** as he almost died in a hurricane that left him homeless and without any possessions or memory of his mother. He had not one thing going for him growing up apart from his incredible brain: ie his super high IQ, fearlessness, sky high ambition, uncommon confidence and determination & tenacity, natural charisma presence and charm, professional oratory and writing skills, speech and debate mastery, logical reasoning skills and photographic memory, allegedly very handsome face, tall height for the time, and perhaps most importantly: an iron strong will to live that one only experiences if you’ve escaped death by the skin of your teeth . I 100% believe there was major divine intervention that had him born at that specific time in history, and allowed him to survive against almost guaranteed death given the horrendous circumstances of his early life, and he was chosen by God for a very specific purpose in life. And maybe not so ironically, after that life purpose was accomplished and he stopped writing and was essentially just a sad recluse,even though he was still young and healthy, he died. As if God was saying good job faithful servant, you can rest now free from your misery; come home now and be with your son for eternity. You couldn’t write a better story. Thank you Hamilton for leaving us this great country. I’m sorry we’re so ungrateful and have perverted your vision for the country so radically. Anyways, vote conservative. Trump/Ramaswamy 2024 🇺🇸❤️
