Imagine an Hamilton Summer Camp Au

-George Washington is camp director

-Thomas and Alexander be co counselor and being competitive on who the better counselor.

-Lafayette and Hercules are in charge of the crafts area

-John Adams is teased by all kids and counselors

-Laurens helping with archery and hiking

-When it comes to Ghost Stories at a camp fire, Maria is the best at telling them. -Peggy makes the best camp foods and is always up for sing alongs - Eliza is every kids go to when their feeling home sick or have bad dreams

-James Reynolds is the worst consular and everyone hates him

Angelica is the best at instructions and helps when kids are having difficulty with tasks

James Madison is the nurse

Eliza secretly loves emo pop punk music. Especially my chemical romance. She will be sitting there knitting or sewing or cooking with her ear buds in blasting there music. Once Hamilton walked up to her and asked what are you listening to? And unplugged her head phones, he had never been more scared of his wife in his life.

Just Hamilton Things

Recently, I’ve been reading Ron Chernow’s ‘Alexander Hamilton’ biography, and there’s a few things in there I find note-worthy. (If you’re as obsessed with Hamilton as I am, I do recommend reading this book. It is, after all, the foundation on which Lin-Manuel Miranda built ‘Hamilton’ and it gets into a lot of depth about Ham’s life. The excessive amount of research done for this book amazes me. I applaud you Ron Chernow.)

One time during the war, civilians in Broadway tore down a large statue of King George then melted it down and made 42,088 bullets, a fact which I find, for some reason, utterly savage

It’s no wonder people thought Hamilton and Laurens were gay, the letters they wrote to each other, primarily, the letters Hamilton wrote to Laurens… ah, I’ll just leave the examples down below

Hamilton to Laurens: “Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my dear Laurens, it might be in my power by action rather than words to convince you that I love you.”

Not enough for you? But wait, the letter goes on to say later:

“You should have not taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.”

Another one from Hamilton to Laurens: “I have written you five or six letters since you left Philadelphia and I should have written you more had you made a proper return,”

Looks like Ham is being clingy. He even admits to it:

“But, like a jealous lover, when I thought you slighted my caresses, my affection was alarmed and my vanity piqued.”

After his engagement to Eliza, he writes to Laurens again saying:

“In spite of Schuyler’s (Eliza’s) black eyes, I have still a part for the public and another for you.”

Hamilton made dick jokes. He wrote to Laurens about finding a wife making bawdy references to ‘the size of his nose’.… his dick, guys. He was talking about his dick.

Before their famous duel in 1804, Burr was so broke, he asked even Hamilton for help. (Note, they already hated each other at the time.)  Burr came to Hamilton early in the morning and you can imagine the awkwardness of the situation. Like, “Hey bro,  did I wake you? Yeah, sorry about that. Hey, I know we hate each other and stuff, but could you like, help me out here, since you’re so good with money and shizzz?” The best part was, Hamilton did help, and managed to raise 10,000 dollars in cash for Burr…… and still Burr shot him. Savage.

Hamilton impressed Adams’ cabinet and there was a conversation that went a little something like this Adams: Whom shall we appoint Commander-In-Chief? Pickering: Hamilton Adams: lol no, pick someone else Pickering: But sirrrr, Hamilton is fully qualified- Adams: NOT HAMILTON.

While the Reynolds affair was going on and Eliza was away, Hamilton wrote letters urging her to stay far, far away from home as he was “greatly concerned for her health”. Yeahhhh. Riiiiight. You two-faced little LIAR.

To make the above worse, Eliza, despite the affair, did remain wholly devoted to Hamilton. In fact, when she was old, she is supposed to have said, “I am so tired, it is long, I want to see Hamilton.” IT’S OKAY ELIZA, I DIDN’T NEED MY HEART ANYWAY

Okay, last fact to wrap things up. After Burr shot Hamilton in the duel, he showed no remorse for it, he took the entire event with a touch of humor. Burr is supposed to have made facetious references to, “my friend Hamilton, whom I shot.” What a savage.
