All the Historical Inaccuracies in Hamilton

Wait For It

Theodosia writes me a letter every day

I could not ascertain wether Theodosia indeed wrote a letter to burr every day, and I cannot make out how possible this would be. even if she did, the letters would not be delivered to burr daily but rather in groups because of how the postal system works.

I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away

He's on the British side in Georgia

He's trying to keep the colonies in line

But he can keep all of Georgia

Theodosia, she's mine

Love doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep loving anyway

We laugh and we cry and we break

And we make our mistakes

And if there's a reason I'm by her side

When so many have tried

I apologise for not being sure, but I do not believe Theodosia to have been described as a great beauty, and do not think she was courted by that many people. However if anyone knows more about her, please provide information.

Then I'm willing to wait for it

I'm willing to wait for it

My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher

(Preacher, Preacher, Preacher)

But there are things that the

Homilies and hymns won't teach ya

(Teach ya, Teach ya, Teach ya)

My mother was a genius (Genius)

Esther kept a diary, and never received a formal education. I do not own the diary but I know that it explores the themes of loneliness and other such things. I do not believe these by themselves are particularly solid grounds to make the claim that she is a genius, however if anyone actually has the diary please do tell me about it. Lastly I doubt Burr would have thought his mother to be of outstanding mental capacity.   Please note however that this is just my scepticism and that, perhaps, Esther Edwards really was a genius.

My father commanded respect (Respect, Respect)

When they died they left no instructions

Just a legacy to protect

I didn't find any documents concerning his death, so it is makes sense.

Death doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

And we keep living anyway

We rise and we fall and we break

And we make our mistakes

And if there's a reason I'm still alive

When everyone who loves me has died

I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)

I'm willing to wait for it

I am the one thing in life I can control

(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
I am inimitable

I am an original

I'm not falling behind or running late

(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)

I'm not standing still,

I am lying in wait 

(Wait, wait, wait)Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

(Climb, climb, climb)

He has something to prove

He has nothing to lose

(Lose, lose, lose, lose)

Hamilton's pace is relentless

He wastes no time

(Time, time, time)

What is it like in his shoes?

Hamilton doesn't hesitate

He exhibits no restraint

He takes and he takes and he takes

And he keeps winning anyway

He changes the game

He plays and he raises the stakes

And if there's a reason

He seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit

I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)

I'm willing to wait for it

Life doesn't discriminate

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes

(And we keep living anyway)

We rise (and we fall)

We fall (and we break)

(And we make our mistakes)

And if there's a reason I'm still alive

When so many have died

Then I'm willin' to-Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it)

Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it)

(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)

(Wait)

-----------------------

this isn't a particularly well researched publication, I am simply using the knowledge I accumulated during my brief look at the American revolution, so if any of you know I said something wrong, or wont to add anything, please say.

On a completely different note, I just realised how much more eloquent u am being in this chapter compared to my earlier publications. Perhaps it is because I am listening to Chopin's Mazurkas.
