APUSH for ALL Goes to the Movies: Hamilton
from APUSH for All · host Zach Garrison, Riley Keltner, and Mike Hill
In this special episode of APUSH for ALL, we look at Hamilton not simply as a musical, but as a powerful act of historical memory. The show brings the founding era to life through ambition, revolution, political conflict, and questions of legacy. But it also simplifies, reshapes, and leaves out parts of the past, especially slavery, gender, class, and the lives of people pushed to the margins. As we watch Hamilton through an APUSH lens, we ask what the musical gets right, what it changes, and why Americans keep arguing over who gets to tell the founding story.
