“Alexander Hamilton founded the New York Post” sounds a lot less impressive when you learn the rest of that sentence goes:
“so he could publicly talk smack about the other founding fathers”
Don’t u mean MORE impressive
He literally founded a newspaper that is still in circulation today
So he could shit talk his colleagues. Idk bout u, but most people I know just subtweet that now.
There was literally an article in this Sunday’s New York Post dragging Aaron Burr for saddling NYC with a grid system instead of wide Parisian boulevards. The first line was “We’ll never have Paris here in New York. But we could have … if not for Aaron Burr.” Marvelous. Hamilton’s ghost is weeping tears of joy.
This is the best addition to this post in 10,000+ notes and I would like to personally thank you for sharing this crucially important historical development
200+ years later and Burr still can’t catch a break from Alexander Hamilton’s legacy
