Who is the first character to die onstage in Hamilton?


The Bullet

A member of the Hamilton ensemble plays a character called "The Bullet" who represents death's slow march towards Hamilton throughout the show and interacts with characters in key moments of foreshadowing. The Bullet herself is killed after King George III's number "You'll Be Back," when she's discovered acting as a spy. She first acts as a bullet coming for Alexander at the start of the song "Stay Alive".

Which signer of the Declaration of Independence was charged with committing treason because of the role he played in leading the Boston Tea Party?

Samuel Adams


Adams was vocal in his opposition of the taxes trying to be levied on the colonists by the British Parliament. He actively fought against the Stamp Act and Sugar Act. In 1773 Britain decided to tax tea that was being sold in the America. Even with the tax, the price of tea was cheaper in America than in Britain, but Adams led a revolt to stop the tax because he did not want England to set a precedent allowing Parliament the right to impose taxes on Americans. This compelled Adams and the "Sons of Liberty" to board three British ships that were anchored in Boston Harbor, and disguised as Native Americans; dump the British tea into the sea. The "Boston Tea Party" led to Adams being charged with treason and the order was given to arrest him with force if necessary. He was never caught and Adams continued to be a leader in the fight for American independence.
