    “OPENING A DOOR TO THEIR EMANCIPATION” ALEXANDER HAMILTON AND SLAVERY AN ESSAY TO ADDRESS RECENT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ALEXANDER HAMILTON AND HIS HISTORY WITH SLAVERY By Michael E. Newton Philo Hamilton Version 2.0. Version 1 published November 10, 2020. Version 2.0 published November 30, 2020. Michael E. Newton: DiscoveringHamilton.com Philo Hamilton: Twitter @PhiloHamilton “OPENING A DOOR TO THEIR EMANCIPATION” ALEXANDER HAMILTON AND SLAVERY By Michael E. Newton Philo Hamilton With the opening of the Hamilton musical on Broadway in New York City in 2015, interest in the life of Alexander Hamilton has soared. Since its debut, millions have seen the show at the theater and on television. Not only has Hamilton’s popularity grown, but his wife Eliza and two of her sisters, Angelica and Peggy, collectively known as the “Schuyler Sisters,” have also gar- nered abundant attention. This attention has not been entirely positive. One recent complaint against Hamilton, both the man and the musical, is that he was not an abolitionist, as asserted by a number of biographers and perpetuated by the musical. Indeed, Hamilton never claimed to be an abolitionist and that term was rarely used in the eighteenth century. One critic of Hamilton on the topic of slavery has been the Schuyler Mansion in Albany, New York. The Schuyler Mansion has for the last hundred years served as a public gathering place to present the home, family, and patriotic record of Philip Schuyler, Alexander Hamilton’s father-in-law. The musical tripled attendance at their location, and yet they recently published a negatively biased and error-filled essay about Alexander Hamil- ton and slavery.

The First-Year Papers (2010 - present) (2017). Trinity College Digital Repository, Hartford, CT. https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/fypapers/71 “...and Peggy!” Macie Bridge In August of 2015, Hamilton: An American Musical took Broadway by storm. The musical was written by the talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, inspired by Ron Chernow’s biography Alexander Hamilton. Performed entirely in rap and song, the musical touched the hearts of millions of people, thanks to modern platforms such as Spotify and iTunes, as fans were able to listen to it from start to finish within the comfort of their own homes. Fans fell in love with the characters and became fascinated with the lives of these 18th century historical figures. I, begrudgingly, found myself among them. After many futile attempts, my best friend finally got me hooked on the soundtrack a full year after it had hit Broadway. I was resistant at first, as I typically am with any fad, as I had never met one that hadn’t been a waste of my time. Much to my dismay, my curiosity and love for American history eventually broke me down. I watched myself in awe as the music gave me mood swings, going from hilariously funny to somber and serious in one song. I couldn’t believe I had fallen into the fandom I had sworn I never would! It would be a lie to say I wasn’t slightly disappointed in myself, but before I knew it, I had the first act memorized and never looked back.

    WOMEN OF COLONIAL AND REVOLUTIONARY TZMESSsss CATHERINE SCHUYLER BY MARY GAY HUMPHREYS WITH PORTRAIT CHARLES SCRIBNER S SONS NEW YORK MDCCCCI PREFACE The period embraced within the years of Catherine Schuyler s life is the most exciting in American history. In its military aspect it comprehends the French and Indian War and the He volution. In its political aspect it includes the life of the Colony and the beginnings of the Nation. Through the position of her own family and as the wife of Greneral Philip Schuyler, she is a representative figure among the women of the Dutch Colony and the matrons of the Revolution. At the same time, in her own character she was so domestic, retiring, and unobtrusive that many of the details of her life can only be discovered indi rectly and with difficulty. The impression which a study extending over a considerable period of all the authorities has left will be discovered in this volume. 100321 PREFACE The authorities mainly responsible are the records of the Van Rensselaer family ; Lossing s Biography of Greneral Philip Schuyler and Field Book of the Revolution; Schuyler s Colo- nidi New York ; MunseWs Annals of Albany ; the Correspondence of John Jay ; the Letters of Abigail Adams ; the Diary of Tench Tilghman ; the Rutherford Papers; The Story of an Old Farm ; Mrs. LamUs History of the City of New York; the Life of Sir William Johnson, by William L.

Newton, secondary author Published November 2020. Philo Hamilton: Twitter @PhiloHamilton Michael E.

Newton, secondary author INTRODUCTION With the opening of the Hamilton musical on Broadway in New York City in 2015, interest in the life of Alexander Hamilton has soared. Since its debut, millions have seen the show at the theater and on television. Not only has Hamilton’s popularity grown, but his wife Eliza and two of her sisters, Angelica and Peggy, collectively known as the “Schuyler Sisters,” have also gar- nered abundant attention. This attention has not been entirely positive. Many dispute the assertion by biographer Ron Chernow that Hamilton was an abolitionist. Indeed, Hamilton never claimed to be an abolitionist. In fact, the term abolitionist was rarely used in the 18th century. One of the most surprising critics of Hamilton on the topic of slavery has been the Schuyler Mansion in Albany, New York. They have for the last hundred years served as a public gathering place to present the home, family, and patriotic record of Philip Schuyler, Alexander Hamilton’s father-in-law. The musical tripled at- tendance at their location, and yet they recently published a negatively biased and error-filled essay about Alexander Hamilton and slavery. The claims made in that essay, entitled “As Odious and Immoral A Thing”: Alexander Ham- ilton’s Hidden History as an Enslaver and authored by Jesse Serfilippi, should be read with skep- ticism and examined objectively prior to drawing conclusions.
