What is significant politically is that the popularity of the play is probably solely responsible for raising Hamilton’s public persona to the point that Obama’s plan to replace Hamilton with Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill was foiled. People now have more information what great things Hamilton did for the country at an important point in history.
IIRC, Hamilton is also the one who thought our running a national debt would be a good thing. For that alone, I’m willing to kick him to the curb.
