This is a companion video to my Hamilton in 7 minutes video.
This is also the first project I have done involving masking, so I hope you enjoy. The only reason Peggy/Anna appears in this is fact that Anna mask was the first mask I made and wanted to put it to use.

Musical Plotline/Background/Some History Background (grossly simplified)
Between the summer of 1791 to around June 1792, Alexander Hamilton, the U.S.’s first Secretary of the Treasury, had an affair with a woman named Maria Reynolds. Maria’s husband James, knowing about the affair, blackmails Alexander to keep this scandal from the public.
In December 1792, Alexander is approached by James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr*, who accuse him of abusing his position by stealing government funds. They use his bank notes of his payments to Mr. Reynolds as poof. Alexander convinces them of his innocence by revealing his and Maria’s affair and the men promise to keep it a secret.
Afraid of the blow to his reputation if the three don’t keep their promise, Alexander decides to write his version of the affair in what is called “The Reynolds Pamphlet”, which of course makes what transpired between him and Maria very public.
Alexander’s wife, Eliza responds to the news of the affair and the Pamphlet’s publication by burning the letters Alexander wrote to help woe her in the beginning of their relationship and rages at the fact he threw their marriage away so easily.
This also resulted in Alexander and Eliza to be separated for a time.
*In real life, Alexander was approached by James Monroe, Abraham Venable and Frederick Muhlenberg.
If you got this far, congratulations! 😊 Have a nice day
