This podcast is about the complex relationship between Alexander Hamilton and George Washington. These two men were both individually important to history in their own ways. Alexander Hamilton went through many, many obstacles to get to where he was, but it did not come without help and dedication. Though Hamilton wanted to make his own way up the latter, he needed help and who better to receive help from than one of the most respected men in the country? With perseverance and a refusal to back down, Hamilton became a colonial in the Revolutionary War at the Battle of Yorktown and helped win the War for Independence.

The proceedings that took place at the Virginia Ratifying Convention in 1787 and 1788 can perhaps be looked back upon as one of the most critical points in American history. The Founding Fathers knew the Articles of Confederation needed to be reformed and thus drafted the United States Constitution in 1787. However, two opposing factions emerged with James Madison on the Federalist side in support of ratification, and Patrick Henry on the Antifederalist side, opposing ratification. The debates were lively, thought provoking, and most of all instrumental in shaping our nation for generations to come.
