This is difficult to read since it was written in 1797, but super interesting nonetheless. Pretty interesting to see the parallels and differences between what really happened and the portrayal in the Hamilton musical. If you’re a Hamilton junkie, I recommend reading through this.

Nothing like spilling the tea in the revolutionary centuries am I right?

Although it's a devastating reality for his family and those close to him who were indescribably impacted by this event. It's interesting to see how far Hamilton went to prove his innocence, even if it required tarnishing his own family's name.

Wow. He really couldn’t say no to this. Nor could I, as the urge to read the entirety of this was too strong, and I finished it all in math class. Incredibly productive and task focused, I know. I couldn’t help but sing along quietly when I came to the “the charge against me is a connection to one’s James Reynolds.” As I, as a matter of fact, is an avid Hamilton fan. I’m also very glad that it counts as a book on this app, since it clearly is a classy read that I would recommend to all people of all ages. Okay who am I kidding, I spent 45 minutes reading about Alexander Hamilton trying to defend himself for committing adultery because of a hip-hop musical. And if you’re reading this because you did the same, does Miku binder ring any bells?

Man, this dude really writes like he's running out of time.
I don't think I can review The Reynolds Pamphlet in a serious manner, given that I only read it because of my unhealthy obsession with a certain hip-hop musical, hence I'll just refrain from rating it.
Summary:
Alexander: "I didn't commit treason but I did cheat on my wife (rethorical questions), it's everyone's fault but mine (random Latin numbers) and I regret it."
Everyone else: "Damn! You ever seen somebody ruin their own life?"
Alright, I should stop with the Hamilton references... But at this point, I don't think I can.
