In this episode, we look at the life of a founding father whose name might be ringing in your ears...Alexander Hamiton!
In our first interlude, we meet a teenage, business-savvy Alexander, and see how he runs an international shipping empire.
Next, Mark walks us through Hamilton's fascinating and turbulent life. Mark touches on Alexander's soul-crushing struggles as a boy, his friendship with George Washington, and his vision for a strong American financial empire. We then cover the country's first political sex scandal, and of course, his deadly duel with Aaron Burr.
In our What If? scenario, Mark envisions a world in which Burr shoots the air, not Alexander. With a new lease on life, Hamilton manages to take down Thomas Jefferson, and become the 4th president of the United States. He uses his political skills to grow the country's territory, elevate its currency, and become an international military power.
In our final interlude, we attend the first-ever state dinner. First Lady Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton dishes up a great meal, and some crucial information to President Hamilton that will reshape American history.
