I mean it reflects the real Alexander Hamilton's opinion but that opinion was extremely biased Kinda sucks the two dudes HAMILTON shits on most, John Adams and Aaron Burr, were among the two most anti-slavery of the Founding Fathers (and Burr supported women's suffrage to boot)https://twitter.com/IgneousSigil/status/1282478626752147456 …

Oh yeah, I'm just marveling at how that was supposed to be THE line (or felt like that was the intent) to cut Burr, but it just doesn't hit as much of a criticism. I dunno if it did more back in 2015 compared to now.

Yeah I mean we could argue about WHY exactly Burr strongly supported the right of women to vote, and if that lines up with the way he treated women in his own personal life, but... with everyone long dead anyway, who the fuck cares

On the off chance we got women's suffrage in this country early because Burr had become President, would that be such a bad thing? Would we care that it was possibly an insincere power grab on his part?

Slave-owning mythologizing aside. "Ladies, tell your husbands, vote for me!" has to be a reference to that, no?

It's more a reference to the fact that Burr was a notorious "ladies' man" in his personal life

Part of the play being partisan about its loyalty to Hamilton is this sense of outrage that Hamilton was torn apart over the Reynolds Pamphlet while his political enemies were getting away with this shit constantly (like Bill Clinton vs. the Republican Congress)
