The Schuyler Sisters (2/3) ▸ aka Hamilton the American Musical Feminine Powerhouses #IMHO ▸ It is about 3 sisters; starting with Angelica Schuyler, the eldest sister played by who is intelligent, confident, and loyal. ▸ The other sister is Eliza Schuyler, played by Phillipa Soo is kind, compassionate, and seems deeply devoted to her family. ▸ Finally, we have Peggy Schuyler, the overlooked sister of the trio, played by Jasmine Cephas Jones. ▸ I think this song is an introduction to these supporting yet essential characters to understand the personal and political direction of the musical. ▸ Oh, Leslie Odom Jr. Is awesome as always! ▸ The song represents tight harmonies between the sisters, the tune, and their energy are infectious, easily one of my favorites. 🔻 ▸ I do not own any of this audio or video (if any is shown). ▸ All and any of the video or audio are copyrighted to its owner(s), and I made this for personal home use and educational and non-profit purposes only. 🔻 #broadway #hamilton #musical #linmanuelmiranda #angelicaelizaandpeggy #trio #theschuylersisters #sisterhood #riseup #reneeelisegoldsberry #phillipasoo #jasminecephasjones #leslieodomjr #aaronburr #soundtrack #songs #revolutionarywar #foundingfathers #performance #vocals #lyrics #fyp #foryou #nostalgic #nostalgia | TikTok

But if you're an astute historian, you might notice that Alexander Hamilton was killed in that famous duel way back in 1804. Eliza carried on being fabulous for another 50 years after the death of "my Hamilton."
Tell us a fact about a character in Hamilton that is not in the musical
My personal favourites. Aaron Burr married again after his daughter died. He spent all her money and she caught him in bed with another woman. So she divorced him. Who did she choose as her lawyer? Alexander Hamilton. No not that one, his son. Burr also died the day or or day after the settlement. Eliza founded the first public school in Washington Heights. I like to think that makes her partly responsible for 'Hamilton' and the rest of Lin-Manuel Miranda's career. George Washington was once advised to take a break by his doctor. Unlike Hamilton, he did. He took a fishing trip with Hamilton and Jefferson. I can't imagine it was terribly relaxing. More on reddit.com

May 7, 2021TIL: Alexander Hamilton was six months younger than Elizabeth Schuyler when they married in 1780. Their marriage lasted 24 years—until he was killed in a duel by Aaron Burr. Elizabeth lived nearly 50 more years, fiercely protecting his legacy
I would argue that he was six months younger than her for his whole life, not just when they married. More on reddit.com

April 25, 2025Eliza Was so Ride or Die
SRS people shit on Eliza so much and it's so undeserved. This woman after finding out about her husband's infidelity does not blame Maria or call her any names. She places the blame where it belongs on Alexander. And people shit on her for "not knowing" that Angelica was in love with Alex and stepping back and it's like ???? Did you miss the conclusion of satisfied? Eliza stood by a man who cheated in her, who gave her son bad advice that ultimately got him killed. And got himself killed defending what he thought was right. He leaves her penniless and borderline destitute, and she still tells his story to the masses. She still opens an orphange so that kids like alexander have a chance. And she fundraised for the washington monument. The one man who Alexander saw as a father figure she made sure his legacy was memorialized Eliza is the best of the founding wives. More on reddit.com

Angelica Hamilton, which was one of Hamilton and Eliza’s children, was so shocked by Phillip’s death that she developed something called eternal childhood, and she always thought that Phillip was at school. She also had trouble recognizing family members. (Kind of a sad fact, sorry!)
