Who Knew Alexander Hamilton Could Be Funny?

We are currently learning about Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and the emergence of political parties in the United States. As some of you may already know, Hamilton was shot and killed by Vice-President Aaron Burr in a duel on
July 12, 1804. Here is a pretty accurate re-enactment of what took place at that famous duel (for the record; due to the illegality of this event, spectators were not allowed at the actual duel).



Now here's a funny milk commercial from the 1990's that references the Burr/Hamilton Duel.
