WHILE MANY PEOPLE INSIST THAT J.R WAS THREATENING TO TORTURE MARIA’S DAUGHTER IF SHE DIDN’T SLEEP WITH HAMILTON, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR THIS, AND WAS SIMPLY A RUMOR STARTED BY THE HAMILTON FANDOM.

ELIZABETH HAMILTON HAD LITTLE- NO REACTION TO THE BOOK AND BURNED HER LETTERS AFTER HAMILTON’S DEATH, LOOKING AT MARTHA WASHINGTON AS HER EXAMPLE
