“Looking back now, success seems foreordained. It wasn't. No colonists in the history of the world had defeated their mother country on the battlefield to win their independence. Few republics had managed--or even attempted--to govern an area bigger than a city-state. Somehow, in defiance to all precedent, Washington, Hamilton, and the other founders pulled off both.
Their deliriously unlikely success--first as soldiers, then as statesmen--tends to obscure the true lessons of the American Revolution. The past places no absolute limit on the future. Even the unlikeliest changes can occur. But change requires hope--in the case of both those unlikely victories, the hope that the American people could defy all expectation to overcome their differences and set each other free.
in the summer of 1788, Alexander Hamilton carried this message to Poughkeepsie, where he pleaded with New York's leaders to trust in the possibilities of the union, and vote to ratify the new federal Constitution. Yes, he conceded, the 13 newborn states included many different kinds of people. But this did not mean that the government was bound to fail. It took an immigrant to fully understand the new nation, and to declare a fundamental hope of the American experiment: Under wise government, these diverse men and women "will be constantly assimilating, till they embrace each other, and assume the same complexion.”
Jeremy McCarter, Hamilton: The Revolution

“You have married an Icarus;
He has flown too close to the sun”
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton: The Revolution

“(On 'The Story Of Tonight (Reprise)')

Tommy Kail and I always described this scene as “When your hometown friends are at the party with your college friends.”
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton: The Revolution

“Forgiveness. Can you imagine?”
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton: The Revolution

“...American history can be told and retold, claimed and reclaimed, even by people who don't look like George Washington and Betsy Ross.”
Jeremy McCarter, Hamilton: The Revolution
