Yep, its ALLLLLL about NY...Like this republic would not have existed with their undying support and sacrifice to the Union...

It took a lot of politicking and fake hair pulling to get NY to get with the program, and it was not because they had some great principle dissagreement...There were too many Torrey’s in NY society that weren’t willing to give up their loyalty to the crown...It took everyone at that convention to agree to split, before NY would join in...Such courage...

So yeah, give us your Alexander Hamilton...

I would prefer John Adams and even Thomas Jefferson over AH anyday...

And like the teenagers he is imitating, Steve is ignorant. There were 120 battles in New York State or the territories later annexed by New York for a reason; we were the linchpin of empire. Had the British captured the state, we would have been cut in half. Had we lost Saratoga, there would be no United States. The deep water harbors or New York, and the later Erie canal were vital to our later growth.
