Can someone whiteboard for me the idea that makes a generally forgotten president cool in a musical by making him black?

Sure, let's start with Alexander Hamilton neither being a former president nor rewritten as black. He's Puerto Rican here. Jefferson is black, but no one has forgotten him. From there, the idea is that white liberals love rap, homework, and consuming expensive products. Hence, runaway hit.

Wasn't even vice-president; highest political position was Secretary of the Treasury.

When it comes to paper, there's one more that wasn't prez. On coinage, they're all prez. Eventually, they are yanking Jackson. Apparently he made somebody cry. The're looking to get a broad on paper. Personally, I'd go with Frederick Douglas. Also known as Norm Van Lier.

yeah, I never got the love for this show. If I want to see a musical I'll go see Book of Mormon 20 times before I see Hamilton once.

You can't be a president when the street named after you is west of Damen.

You might want to sit down for this but Benjamin Franklin was not a president either.
