the craziest part of some of the shit Adams wrote about Hamilton is that it was written years after his death. like get a grip, we know you hated Hamilton, but the man was semi-recently killed. 1805 and 1806 are two of the most damning letters where he's shit-talking and calling Hamilton a bastard brat, a Scottish creole, insolent coxcomb, a creature in delirium of ambition, etc etc.

Paul Barras was unbelievably over the top. He was trying to convince Napoleon to invade England to “purge the world of the monsters.” But Napoleon thought it was a bad idea, so Barras said this to him: “May St James's Palace crumble into dust. Your country wishes it. Humanity requires it. Revenge demands it.”
