but burr is opposed by his greatest rival, alexander hamilton. while not running himself, hamilton wants to stop burr and deliver new york for the federalists. >> best of luck to you, colonel burr. >> and to you, general hamilton. after all, it's only politics. >> burr and hamilton, they're -- they're really kind of opposite sides of the same coin. these two guys were friends. in fact, the battle of long island, aaron burr saves alexander hamilton's life. but, of course, things would go bad once you enter politics and ambition into the situation. >> you remember the senate race 9 years ago when you defeated my father-in-law? >> well, of course i do. >> your opponent was a man of character. he served his country with honor. his ideas and principles could've benefited this nation. >> ideas and policies make for fine reading. character and honor, i'm sure, make for a fine father-in-law. but, like i said, this is politics. >> burr is unprincipled both as a public and private man. he is for or against nothing but as it suits his interests or ambition.

if i wanted somebody who is just going to battle his intellect, clearly alexander hamilton. but i think washington as they said many years ago he was the indispensable man who made everything else happened. but i think in writing about hamilton i certainly came to feel that his achievements were up there. >> c-span: we found video that miranda put on youtube when he is a young boy. i don't know if you've seen it or not, we'll go ahead and roll it and i want want to know if there's any video of you anywhere that would exhibit this kind of talent? ♪ footloose music playing. ♪ ♪ >> this was before hip-hop and all that day,. >> i think they say no such video exists in the turnout family archives, dancing off the walls i was probably out playing stickball or doing something else. spee4 his enemy showed interest in doing a broadway show in washington? >> guest: there's hasn't been a lot of interest in doing washington in terms of film so i have to tell you when lynn first told me that hamilton's life was classic hip-hop saga and hip-hop head at the perfect fit i didn't under

alexander hamilton left the convention. he went back to new york and there was going to be a terrible fight over whether or not to radicalize the constitution and he decided to write newspaper editorials working through all the reasons people should ratify the convention. he asked john jay and governor morris and morris turned him down and jay got sick so madison was the third choice and madison adegrees with hamilton to write these papers -- agrees. hamilton had the whole plan laid out, madison writes about congress that is what he is interested in, and they wrote incredibly quickly and they were influential in new york and sent to virginia and republished but we think less influential there. one thing historians debate is at the time how influentials were the editorials outside of new york. what is clear is since then people decided they very nicely sum up many of the ways that people in general at the time of the framing thought the constitution was a good idea. c-span: there are 85 of them. over what period of time were

all right, first look at the legends and lies alexander hamilton edition. the tip moments away. ept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or g

alexander hamilton and james madison on this committee. but the guy who probably will take up the pen and do most of the writing is a pennsylvanian named guvernor morris. a man with a wooden leg. but another one of these men very gifted with the pen. and morris is a friend of george washington's. there's a story that comes from that summer with morris and alexander hamilton basically there's a bet made that hamilton makes with morris because morris says i'll just go up and slap george washington on the back and say, how are you doing kind of thing. washington is this very formal guy who doesn't even like to shake hands. he prefers to bow. he can kind of be a bit on the aloof side, especially in public. so hamilton is like, you're never going to do that. in fact, i'll bet you dinner you're not going to do it. of course, morris goes and does it and washington gives him one of his glaring looks. i'm sure hamilton is standing in the corner laughing like mad. morris is the one that's going to write that, we the people of the united states, in o

charlie: alexander hamilton. how are you different than he is, other than the fact you are a different actor? javier: i think the distinction i bring to "hamilton" is rooted in the life i have lived. it is challenges, obstacles, mountains i have climbed that are unique to what my journey has been as an individual, as a human being on this planet. i put myself through college, various health challenges, and just coming to terms with a peace in my own skin as a human being. all those things i pour into alexander hamilton. the fight i have in my life is the same fight she has. charlie: but these are not ordinary health challenges. you have had to have within you a real strength. javier: that is rooted within my family. my team, my support are my brothers and parents. no matter what is going on, and in the past, no matter what has been going on throughout my life, the safest place i could be was home. charlie: because they gave you not only comfort, but also courage and strength and -- javier: yes. charlie: this is a

sedgwick, the young alexander hamilton would not have been a candidate for entry into the country. yet, his military service earned our appreciation. the blood of immigrants shed for our freedoms is no less red than that of the nativeborn. perhaps they are ready or two -- readier to offer themselves. they appreciate what they are defending than we. i disagreed with mr. hamilton on other aspects, but i admit today that the programs of financing and economic development in our nation are remarkable achievements that we literally to her credit. we debate even now, the bank balance in our economy in the face of response abilities. the model for this new bank proposed is that of 1791, with lessons we have learned in the establishment of that bank. this immigrant strengthened us in war and peace. but he was merely the first of four of the first six secretaries of the treasury, which at this point, that was not born in the country. hamilton, myself from geneva, mr. george w campbell from scotland, and our present secretary who was born in kingston, jamaica. in addition to these, mr. rober

i have an article here from the washington post and the headline is "liberals love alexander hamilton but aaron burr was the real progressive." i mean, this comes out of that musical "hamilton. " nancy: right. my point is you can enjoy the music. but it's really not in -- historically accurate in 1776. this is one of the problem swear to assume and setting history, there are hundreds of pages of notes. not only the document, but the debates you have, how you distinguish yourself, what documents you are dealing with. what i really wanted to highlight is i don't want to distract from anyone enjoying fun.usic and having but hamilton is portrayed as sympathetic. it leaves out many of orton -- many important details of hamilton's background. it tries to paint him as an abolitionist. he was not. it tries to portray him as a self-made man. he also had patrons and mentors. it also tries to introduce the dream of the emigrant, it in fact what i highlight in my piece is that to aaron burr, aaron burr when he was in the new york legislature, he is talking about america as a place for immigrants

the federalist side, of the john adams and alexander hamiltons, is in favor of the treaty. they are in favor of building the young economy of the united states, staying out of a war, trading with all sides in europe, not being limited by alliance to france or something like this. so we're really seeing this treaty become kind of of a symbolic head point between these two sides. and the senate approves the treaty. now according to the constitution senate approves treaties and they're done. the problem is the house of representatives -- this is our first treaty. the house of representatives says, we want a chance to discuss this treaty as well. and so they demand of washington to see all the papers and so on. well, he says, no. senate approves it. you don't have anything do with it. what the house essentially is going doing is they say, maybe what we will try do is take away the funding. we won't pay for this treaty. anything that has to be paid for, we will not spend the money. therefore, the treaty will die at this point this time. that's not necessarily a new strategy that
