Hamilton, Broadway vs real life

I’m grateful for it though. He might have been on the chopping block otherwise. Even the GOP tried to get him off the currency (in favor of Reagan) because he wasn’t a President.

I wasn't aware of that. Presumably, they had no problem with Franklin?

I think it was mostly the pragmatic choice in getting Reagan on a bill, not so much driven by Hamilton antipathy. Franklin was definitely more loved, at least prior to the musical. Hamilton was also a Federalist and the GOP by that time had more intellectual roots in Jeffersonian ideas.
