For those just entering the Hamilton fandom thanks to Disney+

1)Welcome!

2) before you start with the “woke hot takes” about Hamilton, we have already had all of these conversations. Please don’t make us go back.

A) the characters in the musical are far from accurate portrayals of the founding fathers.

B) you can acknowledge that the real historical figure was racist/homophobic/misogynistic etc. And still like the musical

C)the musical is NOT historically accurate. Lin acknowledges it in many interviews and in the Hamiltome (the book about the making of the musical) for example: the Schuylers had more than three daughters, the Hamilton’s has more than two children, Angelica was already married prior to meeting Hamilton, it is more than likely that Hamilton, Laurens, Lafayette, and Mulligan were never actually in the same place at once... I can go on.

D) if Hamilton the musical has sparked your interest in learning what really happened, that’s good. Don’t let people bully you out of learning because of the catalyst of your interest.

Please. You can romanticize the Broadway characters. You can identify with the Broadway character. But if I see “Thomas Jefferson did nothing wrong uwu” in the tags again, I’m going to lose my shit.

Tl:dr

This:

Does not equal

Okay? Cool.

thomas jefferson and sally hemings did not have a forbidden romance as many historians like to say. sallywas thomas’s child sex slave and it’s time that people know the truth about our founding fathers.

He also blackmailed her into coming back to the US. You see, in France, she was a free woman. But he threatened to sell her children to different plantations if she didn’t come back with him.
