[quote=Anonymous]Trivia:

Angelica was married before she met Hamilton.  They did have a very flirty relationship, though.

Eliza actually went by "Betsy."

Burr was a much bigger jerk and even more ambitious than the musical makes him out to be. He attempted to establish a new country in the southwestern United States that was independent of the US, and was charged with treason.

Hercules Mulligan sponsored Hamilton in New York. He knew Hamilton's employer in St. Croix. He helped Hamilton enroll in grammar school to get ready for college. Hamilton lived with Mulligan while he was enrolled at King's College (now Columbia University). Mulligan was an alumnus of King's College. Mulligan heavily influenced Hamilton's view of the need for American revolution. He was one of the first members of the Sons of Liberty, an American spy organization working against the British. Mulligan was an abolitionist and continued to work for abolition after the war. He was an Irish immigrant.

Hamilton, Mulligan and John Jay founded the New York Manumission Society to work for the abolition of slavery. [/quote]
