Part three actually ended up becoming much larger than a blog post after further research. Another interpreter here has written a pamphlet about Hamilton's relationship to the institution of slavery that will hopefully be available very soon. We can comment again here once it is if you'd like? If you'd like to see a video where some of the forthcoming pamphlet is discussed, you can watch around the 52:16 mark on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NI8V45Ez-Y Thank you again, and please feel free to comment with any further questions!Schuyler Mansionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001179137546334580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716677313232500716.post-56774879689178094912020-07-31T16:27:33.025-04:002020-07-31T16:27:33.025-04:00Thank you for your interest in this article and to...Thank you for your interest in this article and topic!

As for the show, Eliza did not enslave people by 1810 (when Hamilton died there were enslaved people at their home, The Grange), but I have yet to see definite evidence that she was an abolitionist. It may exist, I just haven't come across it yet.

At the end of Part II, you leave this preview of coming attractions:<br /><br />" We will delve into how radical (or not) Hamilton’s writings on abolition were in comparison with his peers next time,. . ."<br /><br />Next time? So has a Part III (or more!) been released? <br /><br />I could not find a Part III. Please let us know where to find your additional well-researched info on this subject. <br /><br />And while we are in the Schuyler Mansion, could you confirm or clarify this from the blockbuster "Hamilton" which has Elizabeth Schuyler ("Eliza" in the musical) saying this at the end of the show:<br /><br />[ELIZA]<br />I speak out against slavery<br />You could have done so much more if you only had—<br /><br />[ELIZA AND COMPANY]<br />Time<br /><br />Is there historical record that Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton (the historical person) did speak out (suggesting "publicly") against slavery? And what is the likely accuracy of "Eliza's" prediction that Alexander Hamilton would have done "even more" if he only had more time?<br /><br />Thanks for your work!Peter Brown peterb3121@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
