August 7, 2025 - Hamilton's great achievement was getting the federal government to assume state debts. LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: It's about a financial plan, but it's really about when are we a state, and when are we a state as a part of a larger country? When are we united, and when are we our own little tribe? INSKEEP: Lin-Manuel Miranda told us the story behind "Cabinet Battle #1." That song depicts a meeting of President George Washington's advisers.

How Hamilton's Immigrant Story Inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda | Broadway Direct
I had written a paper in high school about the duel in 1804 between Hamilton and Vice President Aaron Burr, but that was all I knew about the man. I had thought that maybe I could get a funny rap song about the duel out of it, but this book just grabbed me. By the end of the second chapter, I was like, “How can anyone not have made this story into a musical?”

The True Story Behind Hamilton: How Much Did The Musical Change?
July 4, 2020 - There's a solid chance you knew very, very little about Alexander Hamilton before he became the subject of a Broadway phenomenon. The story of "the ten-dollar founding father" isn't widely taught, yet it's remarkable for a number of reasons Lin-Manuel Miranda highlights from the show's very first moment: "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?" asks the musical's opening number, referencing the fact that Hamilton—in contrast to his fellow founding fathers—was a poor immigrant from the West Indies.
