Why do you hate Alexander Hamilton so much? The guy lived and died before you were even born dude. He isn’t going to come alive and bite you XD
No, his actions just persist in the policies that my home nation was founded upon.
#guy was a warmongerer and also wanted Washington to basically play king
#his politics were conservative and he offered to buy enslaved persons for his wife if she wanted
#so he's not the abolitionist hero some like to paint him as
#and Burr only challenged Alexander to a duel after MANY YEARS of Alex undermining his political ambitions
#and trying to undermine voting results (intentionally party-splitting to get the other to win) so obviously once that George III knew
#this is without getting into the adultery
#look the musical fucked I can't deny that even after LMM's personal issues and the fandom that was born of it
#and bi rights or whatever
#(I am bi)
#but as a person he objectively sucked
#and I am allowed to have opinions on people fictional and dead even if they are no longer capable of actively directly influencing Now
#PARTICULARLY when it's someone whose actions Have Indeed influenced modern history
#his face is on the $10 ffs THAT'S how influential he was
#not just with the formation of the modern banks but in general
#tbh replace Alexander Hamilton instead of Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman
#bc Jackson HATED the banks and Hamilton would HATE having his legacy diminished
#if we're replacing Jackson we should replace him with Crazy Horse or another historically significant indigenous person
