Founding Fatherhood part 2 Rewriting History

Full show notes on the blog here.

If you have never heard the story about how Kasie and Jessica became friends, here is the Cliff’s Notes version:

The two embarked upon the journey that was the 2020 Libertarian Party National Convention in Orlando, Fl. During the 8 hour drive they learned of their shared parenting styles, a shared love of all things Clemson Football, and a shared (and possibly unhealthy) obsession with Hamilton. 

It is indisputable that Lin Manuel-Miranda has captured audiences with his lyrical and melodical genius, which has led many to a newfound curiosity, possibly obsession, about our founding fathers. Played by an all-minority cast, LMM reached audiences who would never know much more about the “old white men” they see on our money and in history textbooks. Watching Hamilton’s incredible cast doesn’t erase the dark side of our Founding Fathers’ history, though. 

We all know their remarkable (favorable) accomplishments, including, but not limited to, the following:

1. Built an army and defeated the world’s biggest Superpower (at that time)
2. Created a new society allowing for social and financial prosperity through liberty
3. Created new financial system
4. Created complex legal systems to allow for fair and equitable justice
5. Built a whole new progressive system of government
