The battle of Yorktown, 1781.
"Monsieur Hamilton!"
"Monsieur Lafayette!"
"In command where you belong."
"How you say, no sweat. Finally on the field, we've had quite a run."
"Immigrants, we get the job done."
The two immigrants high-fived each other.
"So what happens if we win?"
"I go back to France, bring freedom to my people if I am given the chance."
"We'll be with you when you do!"
"Go lead your men!"
"See you on the other side?"
"'Til we meet again, let's go!"
I am not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
Hey yo, I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot!
'Til the world turns upside down...
'Til the world turns upside down...

I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.
This is where it gets me: on my feet, the enemy ahead of me.
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me.
Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me
Then I remember my Nessa's expecting me...
Not only that, my Nessa's expecting.
We gotta go, gotta get the job done!
Gotta start a new nation gotta meet my son!
"Take the bullets out your gun!"
"What?"
"Take the bullets out your gun!"
"What?"
"We move undercover and we move as one through the night. We have one shot to live another day. We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away. We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it. It's either that or meet the business end of a bayonet. The code word is 'Rochambeau' dig me?"
"Rochambeau!"
"You have your orders now go, man, go!"

And so the American experiment begins with his friends all scattered to the winds.
Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining brav'ry.
[We'll never be free until we end slavery!]
When they finally drive the British away
Lafayette is there waiting in [Chesapeake Bay!]
How did they know that this plan would work?
They had a spy on the inside. That's right,
Hercules Mulligan!
Mulligan
A tailor spyin' on the British government!
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it!
Up
To my brother's revolutionary covenant
I'm runnin' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin' it!
See, that's what happens when you up against the ruffians.
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction
When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!
Washington
Left! Right! Hold! Go!

After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet.
They lower their guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief.
And just like that, it's over. They tend to their wounded, they count their dead.
Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom.
[Not. Yet.]
