That’s fine. I appreciate your candor.

I do enjoy Shakespeare’s historical plays, and don’t get caught up about the details of their historical authenticity. I also enjoy Hamilton, and appreciate that it has inspired me to research the man and his contemporaries, and has inspired my 11 year old homeschooled daughter to read The Federalist Papers.

I don’t have a problem at all with that approach...that sounds like the right one.

When I was young, I saw the musical “1776”, and that inspired me to find out more about that era than I knew, so I can relate to that. (Good job with the Federalist Papers by the way)

I, for one, consider Hamilton (the man, not the play) to be quite brilliant.
