Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Hunk

GUYS GUYS GUYS

Alexander Hamilton was a stud. Yes, he served as George Washington’s aide-de-camp during the Revolutionary War, wrote a majority of the Federalist Papers, became the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, and was the father of American finance—but he was also a quick-tempered, egotistical flirt who caused America’s first political sex scandal and died tragically in a duel against Aaron Burr in 1804. And he’s the only founding father to inspire his own hip-hop album.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Tony Award-winning creator of Broadway’s In the Heights, is currently working on The Hamilton Mixtape, a concept album that tells Hamilton’s life story through rap. Miranda performed parts of the Mixtape at the White House in 2009 and at Lincoln Center in New York City last year. “When I first read about him, I couldn’t get the stories of Tupac and Biggie out of my head,” says Miranda, whose new project coincides with a growing cultural fascination with the founding father.

Ever since the 200th anniversary of Hamilton’s death in 2004—which saw the release of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Ron Chernow’s Hamilton biography and a well-attended reenactment of the Weehawken (N.J.) duel, in which Hamilton and Burr were played by their own descendants—Hamilton’s fan base has been steadily increasing. He’s been embraced both by Tea Party members (who champion the Federalist Papers) and on the left (who highlight his support of a strong federal government). In the past few months, his name has been invoked by economists in the U.S. and Europe as a source of wisdom on the federal debt and the euro zone crisis. “Europe is at an Alexander Hamilton moment,” former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker declared in January, “but there’s no Alexander Hamilton in sight.”

But it’s not just his brilliant political mind that has seduced people. Hamilton was a slender, fair-skinned, auburn-haired man with a chiseled jaw and azure eyes so alluring that Massachusetts representative Fisher Ames once called them “eminently beautiful.” Henry Cabot Lodge described him as “very attractive,” while a flustered Abigail Adams once wrote to her husband that Hamilton represented “lasciviousness itself.” Or, as a woman named Breanna Lynn more recently put it on Facebook (FB), “I’d tap that.”

Lynn posted this message on the Facebook group “Alexander Hamilton Was the Foxiest of the Federalists,” just one of a string of Hamilton fan pages that have cropped up on the social network. Others have names such as: “I love Alexander Hamilton,” “Alexander Hamilton … The Hotness Never Dies,” “Are you Treasurer Sexy?” and “Alexander Hamilton: Too Hot For Your Wallet.” There are Tumblrs, Twitter accounts, and fan fiction communities dedicated to the patron saint of Wall Street. A year ago, Rod Blagojevich admitted to having “a man crush” on him.

“Just Google (GOOG) ‘Alexander Hamilton Is Hot’ and you’ll be surprised [by what] you get,” says Caroline Hamilton (no relation), an English lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh who has written about Hamilton’s modern-day popularity. “Interest in Hamilton has really come back.”

A number of Hamilton appreciation groups are preoccupied with how dashing he looks on the $10 bill, which was redesigned in 2005. The oval around Hamilton’s portrait was removed, his shoulders were broadened, his face given more prominence. “He looks like he’s been Hollywoodized,” says biographer Chernow. “The Treasury Department in all its wisdom has turned him into a real hunk.”

Okay, just a second.

Sometimes on tumblr we jokingly make photoshops and whatnot. We are not publishing them in books, we are not discussing them in ‘srs history conventions’, or anywhere that is reserved for serious discussion.

I know that some people do not approve of this, and chose not to take part in it themselves, as they view it as trivializing or fictionalizing history. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it must be understood that this is not a reflection of the way we perceive history, of our professionalism or validity as historians, or history lovers, or individuals.

Most of the time, these are far more about the circumstances in which they were made than about the historical figures themselves. We do not intend for these to be seen by a large audience, we are not remotely serious.

I am posting this because a peep just got turned away from a job because of a photoshop they posted on Tumblr.

I am completely outraged by this and still can’t even believe it. That is so completely wrong.

Wait

Wait are you fucking kidding me?

…suddenly I’m concerned for my future.

WHAT.

Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

Why do I wear this “sophomores got more swagger” shirt in public?　

Why has it taken me 18 and a half years to realize people suck?
