A Case Of The Man Who Hates England Hates France Hates Everything - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
the craziest part of some of the shit Adams wrote about Hamilton is that it was written years after his death. like get a grip, we know you hated Hamilton, but the man was semi-recently killed. 1805 and 1806 are two of the most damning letters where he's shit-talking and calling Hamilton a bastard brat, a Scottish creole, insolent coxcomb, a creature in delirium of ambition, etc etc.

hilarious but also vaguely pathetic
i personally find it distasteful in general? kicking someone who can't kick back
but then again maybe adams wholeheartedly believed every word he was saying lmao
