Hammie Hates Democracy

This is from a hilariously biased stage play called "The Patriots". It should not be taken as a true representation of history or these founders' views. Some of the stuff in it is plain factually wrong.

However, despite Hamilton's cover the top monarchism in this play, I find this Hamilton extremely entertaining. He's just as forceful and energetic as he should be, and there is nothing more fun than watching him yell at people. That is why I uploaded it.

You have a point there, VoidStone. I just wish that the play was more objective because most people seeing it will not even bother to research on their own to see what was really the situation.

*sigh* That's true. It really is a shame. I hope I'm not turning people into anti-Hamiltonians for posting this up here. O_o I wish there was some good, balanced historical fiction for the time period, but everything seems to be biased in some way. I mean, at the end of the play, Hamilton was about to take over the government with a military coup during the tie between Burr and Jefferson. And there was a weird moment when it looked like they were going to kiss. O_o

The thing was that Jefferson and Adams outlived Hamilton 22 years to the day and could write the history according to their own bias. Too many historians have relied on the Adams-Jefferson correspondence since then. Only recently has Hamilton began to be seen in his true light, both with his flaws and greatness.

Poor, unappreciated Hamilton. It is amazing how someone so awesome can be so disrespected...but I think he is finally getting his due. I <3 Ron Chernow and his biography.

Jefferson was a reactionary slave-owning hypocrite. Hamilton believed in economic diversity, at least, and the mergence of private finance to the public good.This play is pro-Jefferson propaganda.

[VoidStone]

True, true. I was laughing the entire way through. Hamilton is far more awesome than Jefferson, more than just politically. The thing is, I'm so in love with Hamilton I can tolerate a play turning him into a monarchist as long as he still has that fiesty, Hamiltonian atitude. Monarchist or not (which he wasn't) it is still hella fun to watch him yell at Jefferson.

Hamilton's logic comes always comes down to one thing: "It's GOOD to be the king!"

"history is for losers."

^---- pigeon to be plucked LOL

[SovereignStatesman]

Unfortunately, they're more objective about early history than modern.

Lincoln cinched the noose of Hamiltonian Whig-empire on us, and we've been living under de-mock-racy ever since.

"the mergence of private finance to the public good"

Thank you, Karl Marx.

Haha, watching this again after having some real knowledge of Hammy's life is amusing. The references to Jefferson's "Fellow Dreamer" Lafayette seem odd, considering he was far better friends with Hamilton then he was with Jefferson (who said he had a "canine love of fame"...hm.

These two need to have some good old fashioned hate-sex XD.

ANYWAY, I think it's funny how personal animosity and high drama are the apparent cores of this miniseries. LOL history is for losers.
