#HTEAfter 227 years, Alexander Hamilton finally defeated a president

It’s a story so wonderfully strange you couldn’t make it up. 

In a world where a forgotten Founding Father, the only one who died young, was about to be removed from the last place most people ever saw him, the nation’s currency … one man crafts an extraordinarily catchy performance about the man in question.

The performance goes viral. It reminds that nation of what it used to be — young, scrappy and hungry — and how this flawed genius gave America its financial independence and spoke against slavery, even as he destroyed himself in a sex scandal and a duel.
