Okay, so, in case it's not clear to anyone, here's the Hamilton family tree. I misspelled Schuyler, it's not Schyler, it's Schuyler lol. Phillip Schuyler is Alexander Hamilton's Father-in-law. Angelica Schuyler's brother-in-law is Alexander Hamilton. Peggy Schuyler's brother-in-law is also Alexander Hamilton. Phillip, Angelica, James, Eliza, Alexander Jr., John Hamilton, and William are all Eliza and Alexander's children. Phillip is named after his Father-in-law, Angelica is named after her aunt, Alexander's sister-in-law. Eliza Hamilton Holly is named after her mother. Alexander Hamilton Jr. is named after his Father. John Hamilton is named after one of Hamilton's dead friends. William is named after no one, and James also is not. Eliza's Mother-in-law and Father-in-law is unknown, but her Mother-in-law is dead, and the Father-in-law is unknown if he's dead or alive. Peggy and Angelica have a lot of nephews and nieces lol. Peggy died when she was 42. Phillip Hamilton died when he was 19, in a duel with George Eacker, WHOM COULDN'T COUNT TO NINE
The song is Cabinet Battle #1, the lyrics will be below. Ladies and gentlemen, you could have been anywhere tonight but you're here with us in New York City Are you ready for a cabinet meeting, huh? [Washington] The issue on the table, Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank. Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir. [Jefferson] Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness We fought for these ideals, we shouldn't settle for less These are wise words, enterprising men quote 'em Don't act surprised, you guys, 'cause I wrote 'em! (ow) But Hamilton forgets His plan would have the government assume state's debts Now, place your bets as to who that benefits The very seat of government where Hamilton sits [Hamilton] Not true! [Jefferson] Oh, if the shoe fits, wear it If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it? Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid Don't tax the South 'cause we got it made in the shade In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground We create, you just wanna move our money around This financial plan is an outrageous demand And it's too many pages for any man to understand! Stand with me in the land of the free and pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky Imagine what's gon' happen when they try to tax our whisky... [Washington] Thank you, Secretary Jefferson Secretary Hamilton, your response [Hamilton] Thomas, that was a real nice declaration Welcome to the present, we're running a real nation Would you like to join us, or stay mellow doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello? If we assume the debts, the union gets a new line of credit, a financial diuretic How do you not get it, if we're aggressive and competitive The union gets a boost, you'd rather give it to a sedative? A civics lesson from a slaver, hey neighbor Your debts are paid 'cause you don't pay for labor "We plant seeds in the South, we create" Yeah, keep ranting We know who's really doing the planting And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment Don't lecture me about the war, you didn't fight in it You think I'm frightened of you, man? We almost died in a trench while you were off getting high with the French! Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the president Reticent there isn't a plan he doesn't jettison Madison, you're as mad as a hatter, son, so take your medicine! You're in worse shape than the national debt is in! Sittin' there useless as two *BLEEP* Hey, turn around, bend over, I'll show you where my shoe fits [Washington] Excuse me, Madison, Jefferson, take a walk. Hamilton, take a walk, we're gonna reconvene after a brief recess, Hamilton [Hamilton] Sir [Washington] A word... [Jefferson and Madison] (You don't have the votes, you don't have the votes) Aha-ha-ha-ha You're gonna need congressional approval and you don't have the votes [Jefferson] Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder [Madison] Why he even brings the thunder [Washington] You wanna pull yourself together? [Hamilton] I'm sorry, these Virginians are birds of a feather [Washington] Young man, I'm from Virginia, so watch your mouth [Hamilton] So we let Congress get held hostage by the South? [Washington] You need the votes [Hamilton] No, we need bold strokes, we need this plan (no, you need to convince more folks) James Madison won't talk to me, that's a nonstarter [Washington] Ah, winning was easy young man, governing's harder [Hamilton] They're being intransigent [Washington] You have to find a compromise [Hamilton] But they don't have a plan, they just hate mine (convince them otherwise) And what happens if I don't get congressional approval? [Washington] I imagine they'll call for your removal [Hamilton] Sir- [Washington] Figure it out, Alexander. That's an order from your commander.
