Hello,
I'm the newest admin SkylarSkullRider , but just call me Evangelaene or E.(I am not a Evangelical Church.)

DISCLAIMER: this, I repeat, is NOT Aphmau related, and has nothing to do with Jess, Blue Jay Studios or Minecraft.

It's about a musical.
(Very famous musical)
(My favourite musical)
(Which I really want to see)
(Wait for it, wait for it-)

Glad that's out of the way so-
Let's talk Hamilton.
(Incase you don't know what Hamilton is I would recommend googling it and listening to some of the songs which are on Spotify)

Today I will be discussing Angelica and Eliza, and the differences between them in real life compared to Hamilton.

-Peggy will get her own discussion, I am definitely not leaving her out-

i-Marriages and Historical Accuracy

In the musical, last song of Act 1-Non Stop to be precise, Angelica tells Alexander that she's found a man, (John Barker Church) who she doesn't love, but he's rich so he will keep her comfortable for all her days.
In real life it was quite different, Angelica probably loved John Church and so she eloped with him, despite her family thinking he was shady because he was British.Angelica already had two children by the time Eliza and Alexander get married, unlike the musical where she's definitely not married.

Eliza met Alexander at a ball,where they where possibly introduced by a mutual acquaintance-Kitty Livingston. However the ball was not the one in 1780-A Winter's Ball, this ball was hosted in the Schuyler residence (in 1777) and was probably a opportunity for Catherine Schuyler, Eliza's mother, to get her daughters married off.The two didn't see each other again for three years until they met during a long winter in 1780.Eliza's uncle, Dr Cochran was George Washington's doctor and his wife, Eliza's aunt, let Eliza stay with them for a while. Eliza and Alexander are reported to have fallen in love and they married in the Schuyler mansion that same year.In Helpless Lafayette, Laurens and Hercules Mulligan are on stage during the wedding whilst in real life none of them where able to make it, with the whole war thing going on, John Laurens despite being invited to a threesome by Alexander was too busy with the whole war thing going on.

ii-The Angelica Affairs
Angelica, while she was staying in France,met Thomas Jefferson (Jefferson was the United States Minister to France) in 1785 and probably had an affair with him because the contents of certain letters seemed pretty amorous for 'friends'.By this time Angelica didn't love John Church as she once did, and she had already used him as stepping stone for the elite social circles that she craved, so she might of had another affair with her brother in law- Alexander, again it's the contents of the letters that they send each other that makes historians and biographers speculate.In Take a Break and Congratulations a idea of an affair is hinted at, but it does not become more than speculation.Like her affair with Alexander in the musical, an affair with Thomas Jefferson is only speculation, Angelica mentions him once in a vaguely amorous situation in The Schuyler Sisters.

iii-The World was Eliza Enough (ha,ha)
So Eliza lived right up until the eve of the Civil War, as a widow, after outliving her husband for fifty decades.Eliza stayed with her daughter Eliza Holly and Eliza Holly's husband.Their residence in the town house that they stayed in was called the Hamilton Holly residence.
Anyway on to comparisons- in Who lives,who dies, who tells your story Eliza sings about how she established the first private orphanage, and this is pretty historically accurate.
Eliza (co-founder and deputy director) (and some other prominent women-Isabella Graham,Sarah Hoffman and Joanna Bethune) did establish the first private orphanage in New York City, which still exists today and is a family services agency called Graham Windham (link at the bottom if you want anymore information). Also in Who lives, who dies, who tells your story Eliza mentions how she interviewed every solider who fought by her husbands' side, and in real life she did.Eliza collected information for a biography about Alexander, which she hoped that her son, John Church Hamilton, would finish before her death (he didn't). Eliza also spoke out against slavery, as mentioned, and founded the first school (The Hamilton Free School) in Washington Heights..

Thank you for reading my first discussion :) and if you would like more Hamilton discussions then just comment!
