The musical is a biography of Alexander Hamilton, based on Ron Chernow’s non-fiction biography.Hamilton was an immigrant to New York from the Caribbean, a Revolutionary War veteran and George Washington’s aide de camp who eventually became the first Treasury secretary. Because he was illegitimate and came from poverty, he’s considered a symbol of the “self-made man” in America. He was also self-destructive and self-defeating in many ways. His political philosophy was in contrast to that of Thomas Jefferson (among others), who favored a more agrarian economy and wanted more power given to state-level governments. You might call it an urban vs. rural divide, with Hamilton the quintessential New Yorker and Jefferson the Virginia plantation baron. The musical, in rough chronological order, features the following hallmarks of Hamilton’s life (parallel songs in the parenthetical).

Hamilton: An American Musical is a sung-and-rapped-through musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. ... It casts non-white actors as the Founding Fathers and other historical figures. Miranda described Hamilton as about "America then, as told by America now".
