Most of the biggest creative liberties Lin took with history in the show are the ones with Angelica's timeline, because it was more artistically compelling to emphasize her role, but in reality, Angelica had eloped with her husband and been married for several years before Eliza and Hamilton's intense romance. Her husband, John Church, actually had a significant place in Hamilton's life, though for ease of storytelling, the show excises him. That said, Hamilton and Angelica did become extremely close friends and they loved each other dearly, and there is an undeniable flirtatiousness in their exchanged letters ("if you really loved me you would share him" is based on a real letter where Angelica wrote to her sister, "I love him very much and if you were as generous as the Old Romans, you would lend him to me for a while," and the part about the "comma after dearest" is directly inspired by the way they punctuated their letters to one another). I copied these in the course of some other comments about the history on another post , but I'll share them here too! Mostly because I think it's incredible that we have their voices preserved in the form of their letters, and it brings them to life as people. Hamilton to Angelica, https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-04-02-0172 : "I can not, however great my hurry, resist the strong desire I feel of thankg you for your invaluable letter by the last packet. Imagine, if you are able, the pleasure it gave me. Notwithstanding the compliment you pay to my eloquence its resources could give you but a feeble image of what I should wish to convey. This you will tell me is poetical enough. I seldom write to a lady without fancying the relation of lover and mistress. It has a very inspiring effect. And in your case the dullest materials could not help feeling that propensity." A bit of a flirt! And he signs it, "Adieu ma chere, soeur" ie "Goodbye my dear, sister." With a comma after dearest. https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-06-02-0127 "There was a most critical comma in your last letter. It is my interest that it should have been designed; but I presume it was accidental. Unriddle this if you can." One stroke, and you've consumed my waking days... to Alexander, from Angelica, https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-06-02-0127 "You are happy my dear friend to find consolation in “words and thoughts.” I cannot be so easily satisfied." to Angelica, from Alexander, https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-05-02-0297-0001 "Amiable Angelica! how much you are formed to endear yourself to every good heart! How deeply you have rooted yourself in the affections of your friends on this side the Atlantic! Some of us are and must continue inconsolable for your absence." And there you are an ocean away, do you have to live an ocean away? What's clear is that they were immensely fond of one another and had a close bond of friendship and intellectual wit (Hamilton was dear to Peggy as well, and they also exchanged letters, but the tone of them was much different than the overly familiar quality he and Angelica shared). In the show, the romantic feelings they have for one another obviously simmer beneath the surface of their interactions, but never go further, since they're both devoted to Eliza (despite the mess he makes with the Reynolds Affair). In historical record, it's hard to know whether the romantic allusions meant anything beyond underscoring the closeness of their friendship. I've seen it called an "emotional affair," but that's still rather a leap to make when it may very well have been that they just shared a unique closeness of mind and as family. Eliza and Angelica were very close and beloved sisters, and that depiction of their love for one another as well as their shared fondness for Hamilton seems to be quite accurate, as is the depiction of Eliza striving to protect Hamilton's legacy and remaining dedicated to him until she died.

She was ready, with as much eagerness as can be ascribed to the chaste wishes of a virgin heart, to sip the blissful cup, when alas! it slipped through her fingers—at least for a time, if not for ever. Her lover a buxom widower of five and forty braving summer heats and wintry ⟨blasts⟩ exerted himself with so much zeal in the service of his dulcinea that there is every appearance it will cost him his lungs.

July 1, 2020 - A few fun facts: When Cornelia Schuyler Morton's (1776–1808) father didn't approve of her suitor, Washington Morton, Cornelia jumped out of a two-story window into his arms and eloped with him. Catherine Schuyler Malcom Cochrane (1781–1857) was born on the same day as Angelica, but 25 years later. And she was the mother of two toddlers at the time, too. But that doesn't mean there wasn't a love triangle between Angelica, Eliza, and Hamilton, 'cause historians definitely think that might have happened.
