I've read biographies of Hamilton and I think I recall this coming up in a political context. An accusation, because of his sketchy (often described as an orphan or whatever due to his absent father) heritage, maybe. More frequently that he was Jewish, a better political accusation, but also not likely true. Interesting, particularly at a time where in art he's portrayed as black, not Jewish for which a case (imo false) can be made. Thus the ping. Not that interested in arguing the facts of the accusations.
He was raised within the Jewish community as an orphan. But he was not Jewish. African? That’s a new one on me.
