Before you read them, things you should know.

-They’re still called Sir, because if this is what happened at the time woman would be called Sir, men would not.

-Jefferson is a lesbian (cause i kinda wanted to have some lgbtq+ representation :3)

-So in the songs where Eliza tells Hamilton that she’s pregnant its gonna go like this: Hamilton is pregnant, then in That would be enough, Hamilton is asking Elizjah for how long he knew that Hamilton was pregnant, because the president told him(Elizjah), that’s why she(Hamilton) says ‘I should have told you’ in this version, because she was the one who should have told Elizjah about their child not Washington.

-In Yorktown, when she(Hamilton) says ‘meet my daughter’ she is saying this because right after she gave birth she went to war. I know that technically that wouldn’t work because the baby would probably die from not getting the milk it needs, but just go with it okay, its a musical not real life. :D

You provide! . You provide! May you always... . HAMILTON AND WOMEN . �� Always– Always– be satisfied. . Rewind– Rewind– ANGELICO: I remember that night, I just might regret that night for the rest of my days. I remember those soldier girls tripping over themselves to win our praise. I remember that dreamlike candlelight like a dream that you can’t quite place, but Alexandera, I’ll never forget the first time I saw your face. I have never been the same, Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame, And when you said “Hi,” I forgot my dang name, set my heart aflame, ev’ry part aflame, FULL COMPANY: This is not a game… HAMILTON: You strike me as a man who has never been satisfied. ANGELICO: I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. You forget yourself. HAMILTON: You’re like me. I’m never satisfied. ANGELICO: Is that right? HAMILTON: I have never been satisfied. ANGELICO: My name is Angelico Schuyler. HAMILTON: Alexandera Hamilton. ANGELICO: Where’s your fam’ly from? HAMILTON: Unimportant. There’s a million things I haven’t done but just you wait, just you wait… ANGELICO: So so so— so this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level! What the hell is the catch? It’s the feeling of freedom, of seein’ the light, it’s Ben Franklin with a key and a kite! You see it, right? The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes, ev’rything we said in total agreement, it’s a dream and it’s a bit of a dance, a bit of a posture, it’s a bit of a stance. She’s a bit of a flirt, but I’m ‘a give it a chance. I asked about her fam’ly, did you see her answer? Her hands started fidgeting, she looked askance? She’s penniless, she’s flying by the skirt of her dress. Gorgeous, girl, does he know it! Short hair, and she can’t even grow it! I wanna take her far away from this place, then I turn and see my brother’s face and he is... ELIZJAH Helpless… ANGELICO And I know he is... ELIZJAH Helpless… ANGELICO And his eyes are just… ELIZJAH Helpless… ANGELICO And I realize ANGELICO AND COMPANY Three fundamental truths at the exact same time… HAMILTON Where are you taking me? ANGELICO I’m about to change your life. HAMILTON Then by all means, lead the way. COMPANY (EXCEPT ANGELICO) Number one! ANGELICO I’m a boy in a world in which my only job is to marry rich. My mother has no daughters so I’m the one who has to social climb for one, so I’m the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious, Alexandera is penniless, Ha! That doesn’t mean I want her any less. ELIZJAH Elizjah Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you. HAMILTON Schuyler? ANGELICO My brother. COMPANY Number two! ANGELICO She’s after me cuz I’m a Schuyler brother. That elevates her status, I’d have to be naïve to set that aside, maybe that is why I introduce her to Elizjah, now she’s his bride. Nice going, Angelico, she was right, You will never be satisfied. ELIZJAH Thank you for all your service. HAMILTON If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it. ANGELICO I’ll leave you to it. COMPANY Number three! ANGELICO I know my bother like I know my own mind, you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind. If I tell him that I love her he’d be silently resigned, she’d be mine. He would say, “I’m fine” ANGELICO AND COMPANY He’d be lying. ANGELICO But when I fantasize at night it’s Alexandera’s eyes, as I romanticize what might have been if I hadn’t sized her up so quickly. At least she’s dear Elizjah’s wife; at least I keep her eyes in my life… ANGELICO AND ALL MEN (EXCEPT ELIZJAH) To the groom! To the groom! To the groom! ANGELICO: To the bride! ALL WOMEN (EXCEPT HAMILTON) To the bride! To the bride! To the bride! ANGELICO From your brother, ELIZJAH AND MEN Angelico! Angelico! ANGELICO who is always by your side. MEN: By your side. By your side. ANGELICO To your union, To the union! To the union! To the revolution! To the revolution! and the hope that you provide. You provide! You provide! You provide! May you always HAMILTON AND WOMEN Always– Always- be satisfied. Be satisfied, be satisfied. be satisfied, And I know MEN

Be satisfied. WOMEN Be satisfied. Be satisfied. Be satisfied. He’ll be happy as Be satisfied. Be satisfied. Be satisfied. her groom. And I know Be satisfied. Be satisfied. Be satisfied. Be satisfied. Be satisfied. Be satisfied. ANGELICO She will never be satisfied. I will never be satisfied.
