In this episode of The Hot Mess History Podcast, Sarah and Alora unravel the chaotic and captivating life of Alexander Hamilton. Born in the Caribbean and rising from poverty to power, Hamilton became George Washington’s right-hand man and one of the most influential architects of America’s financial system. But with brilliance came controversy—his relentless ambition, fiery clashes with Jefferson and Adams, and entanglement in the nation’s first political sex scandal all cemented his reputation as both genius and troublemaker. His story reaches its dramatic climax in the infamous duel with Aaron Burr, a showdown that would end his life but ensure his legacy lived on.
