As promised - today we begin watching Hamilton!

Many of you still owe either the Federalist Papers (10 & 51) and/or Brutus. If you do, you should work on these quietly during the film.

We may or may not finish the entire movie - we’ll see how the week goes. :-)

Pay attention to the following themes:

-The causes of the American Revolution

-The treatment of immigrants and the function of wealth in Revolutionary America

• The question of slavery

-The development of factions

-Questions about America’s role in other countries after Independence

• Changes to the election of the President/Vice-President

-The impact of personal behavior/scandals on electability

-The role of women in society
