The Work
[} Philip, Angelica and Eliza are going to higher New York to visit their father Philip Schuyler, the New York Senate, up in upper New York (They are closer to the South).
[} Philip started to write poems and wanted to be a writer like Alex.
[} Angelica visited their house from London (With her boring Husband) Just to be with her family
[} The two Schuyler Sisters tried to encourage Alex to join them with their father but he refused
[Time to Work] -
[} Philip, Angelica, and Eliza agreed with Alex's decision and left without him
[} Alexander felt sick without his family there and started to become like a homeless guy like he used to be
[} The reason Hamilton didn't join his family on the trip because he needed to make a compromise between him and Jefferson
[} Since Alexander felt sick and alone he did something very wrong that limited his chance to become president
The Compromise
-) Hamilton wanted a national bank and to keep the Capital in Pennsylvania
-) Jefferson didn't want a national bank and wanted to Capital closer to Virginia
The citizens voted for no bank and were still deciding on where to put the capital
In the end they made a compromise for the bank to be established but the capital in Washington D.C.
The Election
It was between:
John Adams: The last President
Thomas Jefferson: The last Vice-President
Aaron Burr: Part of the Senate
John Adams got out quick but Burr and Jefferson had a tie
Everyone asked Hamilton who he thought would be fit to be president
Hamilton thought:
Thomas Jefferson: They fought about everything from laws to elections but that would be biased Hamilton had to think for the right of the Country and its loyal citizens
Aaron Burr: Didn't actually care what happens a lot just cared about bigger things in his life but was still Hamilton's first friend
In the end Hamilton chose Jefferson for the right of the country which made Burr furious and full of hatred and revenge
