The Adams Administration

How does Hamilton the short-tempered

Protean creator of the Coast Guard

Founder of the New York Post

Ardently abuse his cab’net post

Destroy his reputation?

Welcome, folks, to

The Adams administration!

Jefferson’s the runner-up, which makes him the Vice President

Washington can’t help you now, no more mister nice President

Adams fires Hamilton

Privately calls him “creole bastard” in his taunts

Say what?!

Hamilton publishes his response

Sit down, John, you fat mother—

Hamilton is out of control

This is great! He’s out of power.

He holds no office.

And he just destroyed President John Adams,

the only other significant member of his party

Hamilton’s a host unto himself.

As long as he can hold a pen, he’s a threat.

Let’s let him know what we know
