it's alexander hamilton. >> what was florence hamilton, related to alexander hamilton? and was he a naval commander in the great lakes of 1812. >> i have no idea i don't know i've never looked into it. there are several descendants of alexander hamilton who took on great leadership roles in the military. it's incredible when you read about this like on sources like sources like a weak media. and we have to look at up or ask a descendant. but >> i may be dense here, but what did washington die from? >> he had gone out on his horse, in virginia at mount vernon, and it was cold rainy day, and he got sick from the wet clothing and of course what do you do in 1799 when you get cold, and you get sick, and you have a doctor. you bring in leaches and do blood letting, and it makes you worse and it exacerbated what could've been preventable. tragic. yet how symbolic isn't it? that he dies at the end of that century. i have an ancestor, named private hitchcock, and he wrote in his memoirs the day that the news arrived of washington's death he said my goodness, i am paraphrasing h

it's alexander hamilton. >> was lawrence hamilton related to alexander hamilton and was he a naval commander in the great lakes in the war of 1812? >> i have no idea. i've never looked into that. i know that there are several descendants of alexander hamilton who took on great leadership roles in the military. it's incredible when you read about this on sources like wick pied yeah, but for that particular leader from the war of 1812 we'd have to look tum or ask a descendant. yes, sir. >> i maybe just dense here but what did washington die from? >> he had gone out on his horse that day on mt. vernon on his plantation in virginia, and it was a cold, rainy day, and he got sick from the wet clothing and -- and, of course, what do you do in 1799 when you get cold and get sick and have a doctor? they bring in leeches and they do bloodletting and that's not going to make you better. that's going to make you worse. it exacerbated what probably would have been a preventable cold with something simple in its day, yeah. tragic, and yet how symbolic, isn't it, that he dies at the very end of that centur

hamilton's so happy. we already know what alexander hamilton looks like. he works with the aforementioned john lawrence in this beautiful bejewelled frame on the left. in the center is finally an illustration of that colonel alexander scamel of new hampshire and on the right is lieutenant colonel ebenezer huntington of norwich, connecticut, whose house we own. now the complication here is that alexander scamel in the middle is the highest ranking officer killed during the siege of yorktown. he's unfortunately killed in a surprise attack. he is shot in the back, mortally wounded. winds up dying in williamsburg and writes in his dying words to ebenezer huntington to take over the light infantry battalion or regiment. the three of them knew each other well and the unfortunate twist of fate i suppose for heroism that ebenezer huntington decides he would like to serve the narc lep tick general benjamin lincoln, the second ranking general as his acting aide to camp. alexander hamilton will then be tasked with helping lead -- he's going to lead but helping the ge

and south has amazing alexander hamilton documents to check out afterwards. of course cspan audience. 20 years ago our board chair wrote me a note that started with the words a stroke of luck. what he was referring to he had been introduced to a soony buffalo phd candidate who was interested in alexander hamilton and early financial history. this was well below the show, there were few of us like dig and myself doing a deeper dive on the financial aspects of his vision. our first look at bob was his phd thesis, 1300 pages. that is staggering. to put that in perspective. my was 300 his is 1,000 more. it led to the first equip about bob from dick which was, he can't hold his ink. well fast forward 20 years he has 20 more books that he has either authored or co-authored to date. that led to second equip of dick about bob was he writes books faster than we can read them. now if you add to that five edited volumes, 65 scholarly articles, many of which have received awards, and i'm seriously only at page 10 of his 47-page cv. an incredible document you should check

put it together, alexander hamilton was right. we have collaborated on many projects together, whether it's books or chapters. i can tell you when i'm stumped, i often turn 250 bob. he's combed so many archived. he is never one to shy apay. he likes to tell it like it is, especially to jefr sewnians and jacker beens. i've been able to have a front row seat watching. what's not controversial, in my opinion, historians against slavery. where he's a board member. his latest book "the poverty of slavery." his writing reminds you of somebody else who couldn't hold his ink, alexander hamilton. today he'll address a four-letter word that hamilton created. debt. and $20 trillion today. you may think it's a different four-letter word. let's hear from bob about the man who created it and its origins. it's my pleasure to introduced professor robert wright. >> thank you so much, david, and thanks to the museum, of course, and all of you for coming today. i know it's absolutely nothing to do with the heat outside and air conditioning in here.

, first name, hamilton was, put it together he get alexander hamilton was right. we have collaborated on many projects together. bob, dick, chapters done at the museum, editorial boards, i tell you when i'm -- anything to do with american financial history. i don't turn to bob. he is constantly archives, he answers often in a new york minute. now, he's never one to shy away from a bold, espousing the hamiltonian way. he likes to tell it as it weighs especially to jeffersonian's in jacket bins. and that it's been quite controversial at times, i've never had a front row seat from the sidelines washington. i will tell you what is not controversial, and why it's been his latest project, historians against slavery where he is a born member. his latest book, the poverty of slavery. when you look at bob's incredible outpouring of writing, it reminds you of somebody else you could not hold his ink. alexander hamilton. today, bomb addressed a four letter word that hamilton created. debt. and 20 trillion dollars today, you may think that it is a different four letter word.

it is my pleasure to introduce our key note session entitled ask an historian, alexander hamilton. and our speaker, historian joanne freeman. she is professor of history at yale university. she specializes in the american revolutionary period and early culture. she is the author of several influential award winning books and i will mention two of them. affairs of honor, national politics in the republic, 2001, and most recently, field of blood. congressional violence in antebellum america which i found particularly helpful for my own work. if you look at these two books combined, it seems like reverse echo of the current and contemporary political scene in the united states. from honor to violence. and i'll leave it at that. dr. freeman is also known for her leading scaramucci and alexander hamilton, which she rediscovered, i would say before broadway did a couple of years ago. i asked her about her relationship with history and she was kind enough to respond to my requested for that information. it really reads like a love story. she fell in love with history, beginning back in 17

and also the alexander hamilton awareness society. i don't know if you guys are still speaking to me after this. but even if you are not, i thank you very much for your liberal -- actually i should say -- approach these consenting. views thanks a lot. how are we doing this qanon? is there a microphone going around? >> i, i have a proposal for nancy spanish, i run an american system blog on hamilton. the proposal for a substitute for the word finance credit since hamilton's work was all devoted to the idea of public a credit, and i suggest that that gives a higher concept to the kinds of machinations that he was carrying out because the purpose of the credit of wedding the financial cross -- class to the government was to develop the country. he had tremendous support from some working class peoples, as you know from the constitutional activities in new york here. the great ship hamilton that was sent down the broadway in support of the constitution. because it was going to build the country. that is what i would suggest. >> yeah, i th

so, that commitment and that early relationship with alexander hamilton i think is fascinating. many of us might have the feeling we've come to know him and we feel close to him now. even those of us who are not historians who are just listening to this in our car or we are lucky enough to see the play, i think we're influenced by your work. but could you tell us what are some of the things that we know we may not know about alexander hamilton. even if we know him what are we missing? one of the things that are fascinating that the average american doesn't know? >> well the base answer to that and i guess the most serious answer to that is that the play draws a very particular image of him. so it does a good job of capturing his personality to some degree. it's he is difficult he never shuts up and he doesn't know how to stifle himself in any way and he gets in a lot of fights. you see all of that in the play. with the play doesn't do so much,... i'm not sure i'd expect musical theater to do so much of this, but as a politician, he had very strong feelings. and they weren't all

andrew jackson for celebrated the fact that he had killed alexander hamilton. everybody in the west thought that burr was a great man. and when he talked about, it's hard to know what he said but when he talked about an independent future for the west, it was entirely consistent with american including that of philosophy of the. thomas jefferson. but even more important, it was the almost inevitable outcome of geography. because once you cross the mount, the rivers all ran down -- they were the avenues of transport. and jefferson himself sometimes wondered whether louisianans faith was with the united states. so, uber was simply -- i don't know if he was articulating, or simply letting people articulate what they thought their future might be. because if you lived in new orleans, in 1805, it took forever to get to washington or new york. and you could well ask yourself, how can those people in the east govern? that was part of what he was up to. would he have confused -- waged war against the united states? i doubt it. he only had 50 guys. so, he did not have a

early on alexander hamilton. alexander hamilton to borrow a phrase alexander hamilton's america. it isn't just about massachusetts the way thomas jefferson wrote james madison. alexander hamilton doesn't have a single loyalty to any one state. he comes from abroad in the loves america as a whole. and so the key idea is union, joyner died national security and if we don't. an indivisible -- which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780s called the continental. they will become the first federal state which are far more influential than anything and that geostrategic argument for union is we can have a huge moat called it by the goshen and we won't need a big army. as long as we don't kill each other we have to get rid of lindborg like the union of scotland and england. britain beat france with 30 million people. how did they do that? washington understands banks and set as hamilton jefferson and washington not so much. also the strong indivisible union between england and scotland is going to be the model for the more perfect union of america. england colonies are diffe

basically pretty early on as alexander hamilton. to borrow a phrase, alexander hamilton american. not just about massachusetts the way the john adams may be, he doesn't have a single loyalty to any one state, he comes from abroad and he loves america as a whole and the key idea is join or die national security and not what washington is advocating in the early 1780s they will become the first, which is far more influential than anything that madison wrote and it is a geostrategic argument because all together and we have to get rid of this and so they have the 30 million people that they need to persuade, they need to have in this strong individual union and they are different kingdom, very clean, getting involved and that is not conducive to living and washington's first draft, he has an army on the continent and he gives it up and he doesn't make himself king or emperor, he could have. but he understands liberty and union are one and inseparable. and that includes and the big idea and he's a southerner that understands more than spent time in the west. the embodiment of the amer

alexander hamilton to borrow a phrase, alexander hamilton american, and this is from the book. he isn't just about massachusetts the way that john adams might be or virginia the way that thomas jefferson or james madison. alexander hamilton doesn't have a singular loyalty to one state, but ends up coming to new york. he comes from abroad and loves america as a whole and he tries to summon into existence so the key idea is union, join or die, national security, and if we don't create an indivisible union which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780's, and continentalists, they will be the first federal states far more influential like madison wrote federalist and a geo strategic argument for union. and we could have a huge moat called the atlantic ocean, we won't need a huge army and hard for them to kill us if we don't kill each other. and like the union of scotland and england. britain had 10 million people and they beat france with 30 million people. how did they do that? good capital structure things like that. washington has good understanding of banks and jeffe

i think many of us might have the feeling we've come to know alexander hamilton. we may feel we're very close to him now. even those of us who are not historians and are listening to the cd in the car, maybe lucky enough to see the play, influenced by your work. can you tell us, what are some things that we may not know about alexander hamilton, even if we feel like maybe we know him? what are we missing? what are the historical tidbits that are kind of fascinating that the average american doesn't know? >> well, the biggest answer to that, and i guess the most serious answer to that, is that the play draws a very particular image of him. so it does a good job of capturing his personality, to some degree, right? he is difficult. he never shuts up. he doesn't know how to, you know, stifle himself in any way. he gets in a lot of fights. you see all of that in the play. what the play doesn't do so much of, and i'm not sure i would expect musical theater to do so much of this, but as a politician, he had very strong feelings and they weren't all progressive and they w

up next the hamilton scheme, enemies an allies, historian and author discusses alexander hamilton's financial ideas. he's the author of several books about the founding period including the wisconsiny rebellion, founding finance and declaration. it's about 50 minutes. >> now while the museum, the gallery of the museum is closed because of a flood that we sustained, our robust programming continues as evidenced by today. and our author who's speaking is william hoglin. he's written multiple books including autumn of the black snake, declaration, the history of the rebellion. he's a contributor to a recent publications on hamilton. he's also penned many essays and articles that you can read in places like the atlantic monthly, salone, "the new york times," boston are review, huffington post but nup more important than our own financial magazine history. so it should be no surprise that the topic of william's next book is alexander hamilton. it's my pleasure to introduce him, william hoglin. [ applause ] >> thanks a lot. i know the acoustics in here boom a little bit. can anyone hear me? okay, t

pretty early on alexander hamilton, alexander hamilton america. hamilton isn't just about massachusetts the way thomas turned jefferson or james madison. alexander hamilton doesn't have a singular loyalty to any one state although he comes to new york, he comes from abroad, he loves america as a whole, so the key idea is union from a joint or die, national security and if we don't create indivisible union which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780s hamilton calls the continental list, they will become the first federal state, far more influential but anything like the federalists and they make a geostrategic argument, faith holds together and yes, we can have a huge boat called the atlantic ocean, they won't need a big army, dull powers of europe to kill each other, as long as we don't kill each other, like the union of scotland and england so britain had 10 million people in france with 30 healing, how do they do that works in part because they have good capitol structure, banks and things, washington understands banks, jefferson an

basically alexander hamilton to borrow a phrase, alexander hamilton not just about massachusetts the way adams may be or virginia like jefferson he doesn't have a single loyalty to anyone state he comes from a broad he loves america as a whole the key ada is the union enjoying or die national security if we don't create an indivisible union which is what washington is advocating to be called the continental as they will become the first federalist papers that are far more influential and then anything madison wrote to make a geostrategic argument to have a huge moat we don't need a big army to kill us as long as you don't kill each other just like the union of scotland. britain had 10 million people how do they do that? good capital structure and banks in washington understands banks hamilton, jefferson and madison not so much. but the strong indivisible union with england and scotland is a more perfect union. they are fighting with each other and getting involved that isn't what can deuces to liberty as the first and last he has an army on the continent he gives it up doesn't make h

meanwhile alexander hamilton was pushed to the side. both these men were put in a position where their prospects were not quite living up to their ambitions. so they got a foul of each other because hamilton said very nasty thing s about burr in one of the political campaigns and burr asked him to retract, at least to acknowledge and to corroborate or to retract and hamilton got stiff-necked about it, said, no, no you have no business asking me this sort of thing, one thing led to another and then to the fatal dual in new jersey in 1804. hamilton was killed. burr was not disgraced by the dual, per se, it was really the mack nations of thomas jefferson that made very clear burr had no political future so burr decided what's he goes to do, he's an ambitious and he did what generations and generations of ambitious young men had been doing, that was, he went to the west. what was he going to do in the west? ah, just ask the question. well, it almost certainly included either inciting or exploiting a war between the united states and spain.

anddde alexander hamilton to bow phrase, america, he isn't just about massachusetts the way john adams might be of the virginia in the way the tom jefferson or james madison. he doesn't have a single loyalty to money anyone say, he does come to new york and he comes from abroad and he loves america as a whole and he tries to be summoned into existence as of the key idea is union, join or die and national security and if we do not create an indivisible union which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780s and so is hamilton called the continental list then they will become the first page which are far more influential than anything that he wrote and make it geostrategic argument for unions, they pulled together and yes you can have a huge mode called the atlantic ocean, you won't need a big army, and the powers of europe as long as we don't kill each other, we've got to get rid of the land borders and make it like that unions of scotland and england. so britain had 10 million people they beat france with 30 million people and how do they do that are that goodpl capitol structu

hamilton alexander hamilton barna phrase, american. he's not just about massachusetts about adams is her thomas jefferson talks about virginia. hamilton had designed a single loyalty to any uncial state though he does come to new york pretty comes from abroad and he loves america as a whole the price to summon it into existence in the key idea is union, join or die, national security and if we do not create and invisibly union which is was what washington is advocating, in the early 1780s, and so hamilton, they call the continental us, they will become the first federalist which are far more influential than anything the medicine i federalist expanded they make a geostrategic argument for the union. they pulled together and yes they can have a huge mode called the atlantic ocean in the won't need big army and they will be no hard powers of europe. as long as we don't kill each other. we could get rid of the borders and make it into visibly like the union of scotland and england. so britain had 10 million people and france with 30 milli

eastern, a look into the life and legacy of alexander hamilton. one of the founding fathers of the united states and the nation's first treasury secretary. historians discuss his economic policies and his military experience. watch tuesday night beginning at 8:00 eastern here on c-span3. >>> the day after our african-american heritage tour with eric finley, we return to the mobile county training school in africatown to record parts of the spirit of our ancestors festival. we spoke with organizer jocelyn davis. >> the spirit of our ancestors festival is a day set aside to commemorate the descendants of the clotilda. there were festivals that started back in the '80s from the original founders of the descendants association, and i guess it stopped for a while. so i decided to start it up again. and i was reading dr. natalie robinson's book "the slave ship clotilda and the making of africatown, spirit of our ancestors." that's how i came up with the title. i was looking for a title. a lot of things weren't ringing a bell. but when i was reading her

it was written on the night before his dual with alexander hamilton. he wrote a let toor theo explaining what she should do with his letters and papers. this is one of the reasons for the negative developments of aaron burr over time because he says burn these letters, especially the ones in the red ribbon. he survived and the letters didn't. whether theo did away with them, whether they were lost at sea with the oaf? i don't know. there is one interesting aspect is that relationships with hurs like theo are a rich source but only when the individuals in the relationship are far apart. i'll bet many of you in this room read the biography of john adams. yowl rr know mccullau's secret weapon in that book was abigail adams. i was in a conference or meeting where someone said now you've written about john adams. are you going to write about abigail adams? and he said i did. the book is called " -- it's only franklin roosevelt in the title but it's really a dual biography of the two. the curious things about the particular book is the best parts of the book

that role fell to james madison and alexander hamilton and others. but franklin and washington were the two most famous americans, in 1787. and delegates looked on franklin with respect and awe. there seemed little doubt that washington, the imposing-virginia general, would become president of the convention. if there was any com -- competitor for chair, it was the venerable franklin. the very heavens obey him, one georgia delegate noted. but franklin had planned to nominate washington as chair, himself, if a storm had not kept him home for the opening day of the meeting. this son of boston puritans had come a long way to get to the philadelphia meeting hall. he exchanged letters with his beloved sister, who was an evangelical christian and the sibling who maintained the longest correspondence with and the deepest influence on franklin. they reminisced about their humble beginnings as the children of a candle maker. she had remained a person of humble means and relative anonymity while her brother's fame skyrocketed. ben told her that the course of h

hamilton to get involved and in 1786 he calls for a convention in the city of annapolis everybody argued and then walked out no way to start a government. and then to push with hamilton for a convention the following year, 1787. going back to philadelphia hoping lightning strikes twice improve the articles with a new constitutional system of government strengthen the government to find ways to move forward in a more united way. what we don't know is people know all about the founding of the dates over slavery, the electoral college how we pick a president. the other founding debate was if we should have a capital city. multiple capitals? what should it look like? we could not agree on one capital but at one point to satisfy everybody even ben franklin to have multiple capitals because nobody wants congress to come to the city. and the trojans get a horse and then congress would hide in and get out and do its business. this was the other founding debate. multiple votes from george washington and other framers that the debate over a capital city was even more heated and contentious and mor

alexander hamilton, to get involved and 1786 hamilton calls for convention in the city of annapolis and maryland. the problem, only a handful of states showed up, everybody argued and embarrassingly walked out. that's no way to start our government. washington stays with it, with hamilton for convention the following year. in 1787, they are going back to philadelphia hoping lightning strikes twice. we have to improve the articles and ultimately create a new constitutional system, the government strengthen our government and find ways of moving forward in a more united way. next slide. what we don't know his people know all about the founding debates over slavery, electoral college, over how we put the president but there was another, i always call it the other founding debate and not over should we have a capitol city? should we have multiple capitals? at one time to try to satisfy it was ben franklin through cap the idea that we should have multiple capitol. it was like agent, the trojans they would get a horse, a giant trojan horse in congress would hide in and going to each city and

washington asked alexander hamilton in 1786 hamilton calls for convention in the city of annapolis and maryland. the problem only handful of states showed up. everybody argued and embarrassingly walked out. it was no way to start a government. washington pushes along with hamilton for convention the following year in 1787. they they are going back to philadelphia hoping that lightning strikes twice. they have errors to correct and they have to improve the articles and they have to create a new constitutional system of government strengthen our government and find ways of moving forward in a more united way. next slide. what we don't know is people know about the founding debates of over the electoral college and how do we pick a president but i call it the other and that was over the capitol city trichet we have multiple capitals and where should it be? what should it look like? they couldn't even agree on one p. one point to satisfy everybody even ben franklin throughout the idea we should have multiple capitals. the joke was because it's congress nobody would want congress to come to

washington asks alexander hamilton to get involved and in 1786 hamilton calls for convention in the city of annapolis in maryland. the probably handful of states showed up. everybody argued and embarrassingly walked out. that's no way to start a government of washington stays with it and pushes along with hamilton for a convention the following year. 1787. they're going back to philadelphia hoping lightning strikes twice. they have errors to correct. they have to improve the articles if they would ultimately create a new constitutional system of government, strengthen our government and find ways of moving forward in more unity united way. next light. so what we don't know is people know all about the founding debates over slavery, over the electoral college, over how do we pick a president but there was another i always call it the other founding debate, and that was over should we have a capital city? should we have multiple capitals? where should it be? what should look like, its nature, the side that? they couldn't even agree on one capital. at one time to try to set up everybody eve

in washington asked alexander hamilton to get involved and in 1786, hamilton calls for a convention. in the city of annapolis in maryland. the problem only had a full of states showed up and everybody argued and embarrassingly, marco. washington stays with it and he pushes along with hamilton for the following year, 1787 the going back to philadelphia hoping that lightning strikes twice. and they have to improve the articles, they would ultimately create a new constitution and system of government, strengthen our government and find ways of moving forward in a mark united light. next slide. so we don't know as people know all about the fanning's of the slavery and over the electoral college and over how we pick a president but there was another, i always call it the other fanning debate and that was should we have a capitol city. multiple capitals? or where should it be and what should it look like in the size of it. the agree and one point to try to satisfy everybody ben franklin through the idea we should have multiple capitals. because nobody would want congress to come to the cit

my 20 -year-old son is named for alexander hamilton which he now tells his friends very proud he did not like it beforere anybody under 30 things hamilton is the bomb. i remind my colleagues i was on the hamilton bandwagon 20 years ago when my son was born. it's easy to love him but hard to like him he was very complicated adams is complicated. jefferson. and then they all were. so the dinner party june 20th, 1790. and in the room where it happened. you have two factions the jeffersonian and the hamiltonian less government and more government just to make it simplistic enough but the problem whenever they butted heads be he would carry it because of washington. and then to be more i —- ideologically aligned but he saw hamilton as his son. and hamilton is his right-hand man and with jefferson's involvement on behalf of france so on june 19 the day before he here's a great commotion and they have a fight and they both have volcanic tempers and part ofev his stoicism can be contributed to a lifelong passion that is self-improvement that i talk about so hamilton comes out jefferson say

, the musical which my 20-year-old l son is named for alexander hamilton which he now tells all of his friends, david, very proud. he didn't like his name before but now he likes it because anybody under the age of 30 things hamilton is the bomb. and i always remind my colleagues and fellow historians i was on the hamilton bandwagon 20 some years ago when my son was being born. although i've always said it's easy to love hamilton but it's hard to like him. he was very complicated as they all were. john adams and jefferson he could be an acquired taste. madison is interesting and thcomplicated in many ways. they all were, quite frankly. so the party on june 20th, 1790 as they wrap in the musical, the room where it happened. so two factions, the jeffersonian and hamiltonian faction. the less government, the more government, the south, the i north, to make it simplistic and not digress.ag the prominent for jefferson's when they butted heads, hamilton typically carried the day because of washington. washington was more ideologically aligned with hamilton, adams and federalists but washingt

it was by james mattis who served as the fourth president of the united states, alexander hamilton was the first secretary of the treasury of the new republic and by john jay who was the first chief justice of the united states supreme court. the purpose of the paper was to persuade the citizenry of the young nation of the need to adopt a new form of government. and to leave behind the very loosely formed government which the citizens had seen under the articles of confederation. and offering the federalist papers, hamilton, madison, nj exhibited i you will the very best qualities of leadership we see in the lawyers. madison was not a lawyer but he was learned and the law. hamilton nj were of course lawyers and they use their lawyering powers, their abilities and drafters of the federalist papers we believe the discussion today will further illuminate the fact that given the powers the opportunities licensed by the state to exercise a very potent leadership qualities in both the public and the private square. with that i i hope you enjoy this fascinating discussion, thank you break. >>

my 20-year-old son is actually named after alexander hamilton which he now tells all of his friends if he didn't like his name before now he thinks it's cool. anybody under the age of 30 thinks that hamilton is the bomb and i tell my colleagues and federal historians i was on the bandwagon 20 some o years ago wn my son was being born. although i've always said it's easy n to love hamilton but hard to like him, he was very complicated. john adams was complicated, jefferson, madison is interesting and complicated in many ways and they all were quite frankly. so the dinner party on june 20th as they wrap in the musical the room where it happened. the less government, the more government, to make it more simplistic. the problem for jefferson's whenever they butted heads he typically carried the day because of washington. washington was more aligned with hamilton, adams but washington saw hamilton as the father figure he never really had and he's the right-hand man as they say in the musical including the neutrality as opposed to jefferson's involvement on behalf of france so the day before
