So it butchers American History? No and I will suggest to my kids to now let the grands watch bs

🙄🙄What does it butcher??

It's just like a fiction book about the wild west, or the Victorian age. You shouldn't base your historical knowledge on it. It's for entertainment.

There is quite a lot of info that is factual, a lot coming from his own letters. But seriously how do you make a musical about something that happened over 200 years ago 100% accurate?
The first thing I do when watching something based on truth is find out how much of it actually happened. Here's a good article about some of the liberties taken with the story. www.google.com/amp/s /www.tampabay.com/li fe-culture/2020/07/0 3/politifact-fa

@MrsT : You have to watch the show! So good!We already have The Good Lord Bird tagged! Big Daveed fans here!

@MrsT : That was my take as well. A lot of people thinks it lacks historical sense, not sure why though (unless they're speaking about the portrayal of historical figures). Either way, I really like that it appeals to Zoomers, mainly young men, and potentially gets them interested in theatre productions. I could totally take my eldest and his friends, and confidently walk away knowing they enjoyed themselves.

Have not seen it.

@MrsT : Exactly!! As with anything....do your own research!!

@MrsT : honestly, I learned some things about that part of history, that I saw in Hamilton, then researched on my own. I love learning about history.
