Check out my new history video about A Knight's Tale: • The Real History of A Knight's Tale |... • How historically accurate is Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton? In this video essay I fact check the musical against the history books and bring you the real history of Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, Washington and all their founding brothers. • This isn't a top ten of historical inaccuracies in Hamilton; while I get into some of that this is more to provide you with a historical context to put the story in. What was life actually like during the American revolution? What does the assumption of state's debts really mean, and what happened in Boston that's referenced in Farmer Refuted (because it's not just the tea party). • 00:00 Introduction • 01:40 Part 1: Son of a Lady and a Scotsman • 03:02 Part 2: What about Boston? • 07:29 Part 3: The Greatest City in the World • 09:35 Part 4: The Room Where It Happens • 12:01 Part 5: Chaos and Bloodshed • 14:52 Part 6: Are you ready for a cabinet meeting? • 17:43 Part 7: Aaron Burr, Sir • 21:09 Historical Inaccuracies • Big thanks to my friends Mark Bell and Michael Tynan who helped me with the research for this video essay.

Ellis which breaks the American revolution and its aftermath into bite-sized and understandable stories, many of which line up well with Hamilton: An American Musical. • Music in this video is by Lee Rosevere: https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com/ • Music For Podcasts - True Crime Edition • 01 - Small Town Characters • 05 - Delayed Reaction • 06 - Edge of the Woods • 08 - I Don't Wanna Be Like Him • Music For Podcasts 6 • 01 - Let That Sink In • 05 - Making It Look Easy • 02 - Thought Bubbles • 06 - It was like that when I got here • 15 - Where Was I? • Lee Rosevere's music is licensed under Creative Commons: Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) • (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...) • SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/1KplYjz • MY WEBSITE: http://awesomepedia.org • FACEBOOK: / awesomepedia • INSTAGRAM: / awesomepedia • TWITTER: / jakobburrows
