But why did pretty much everyone who had a connection to Alexander Hamilton lead such wild and/or chaotic lives?

Can y’all like… chill??? For the love of my outlines?!

London, 1774

Some poor parliament aide who can't believe he went to college for this shit opens the billionth letter from the colonies and stands up and dramatically recites it in his worst shakespeare impression while all the other aides take a shot every time john locke is blatantly plagiarized. When he is done he balls it up and dramatically slam dunks it into a waste basket. It goes in perfectly and all the other aides cheer.

When your dream American Revolution trip formulates in your head, so for shits and giggles you map out an epic 25-day, 57-must-see-sites itinerary, but you’re left wondering if it’s even plausible…. 😂😂😂

You mentioned that you're a history major, what era of history are you studying??

Hi, Anon!

I’m currently getting my BA, but I eventually want to go to graduate school and specialize on the American Revolution and the Early American Republic (founding period, essentially)! And of course I have a penchant for Alexander Hamilton, who I’d love to talk about in an academic capacity. The man got his hands everywhere.

Need Some Timeline Help

So since planning out what portions of Hamilton’s life each volume of The American Icarus will cover, I’ve come to realize that while there are dozens of timelines both sparse and detailed covering the American Revolution and Alexander Hamilton’s role in it that have helped me immensely in the outlining process, I haven’t found any timelines with as much detail covering his life once he left the war after Yorktown. Making the outlining process for the rest of the series seem much harder for the level of day-by-day detail that I’d like to have as a reference.

So I’ve decided to start making one myself:

Alexander Hamilton Master Timelines.xlsx

Post-War Timeline Alexander Hamilton Post-War Master Timeline DATE,AH'S LOCATION,EVENT(S) 1782 19-Jan,Albany, NY,Benjamin Lincoin, the Secr

However, if anyone is willing, I could use some help. Ideally I want to go all the way until Hamilton’s death, however doing this by myself will take a long time. The link above will take you to the timeline table I’ve created thus far, and you’re welcome to add to it. For this, I’ve referenced Founders Online but plan to look at other places (such as Madison’s Journals of the Constitutional Convention, Jefferson’s Anas, Maclay’s journals during his term in the Senate, etc) the further I go along. I also figured making this could help someone else out and not just me so here you go.

An Appeal To Heaven (The Flag That Lead To Independence)

Flags are an important glimpse into what a people want to be known for or are perhaps already known for. They usually carry a great deal of pride in being associated with such imagery, from the flags of a nation to banners of war. The history of mankind has always been linked to the colors and imagery assigned to people and places. In light of our 250th anniversary as a nation, the founding of…
