Title The Real Alexander Hamilton Media name/outlet Dan Snow's Histroy Hit Media type Radio Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 7/07/22 Description How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
This is the famous question posed by Lin Manuel Miranda in his smash-hit Broadway show Hamilton that's swept the globe. It's a celebration and looks into the life of the once lesser-known founding fathers, instrumental in the creation of the United States in the late 18th Century. To mark American Independence Day celebrations, Senior Lecturer of American Studies at the University of Manchester Dr Natalie Zacek joins Dan to break down Alexander Hamilton's life, role in the American Revolutionary War and whether he really was as important as Miranda's play makes him out to be.URL https://podfollow.com/dan-snows-history-hit/episode/2cbfcbf6344d775ae1261ee5fd47aa5c9bc9d2b0/view Persons Natalie Zacek
