brother's revolutionary covenant

Page history last edited by Mr. Hengsterman 6 years, 6 months ago

 

A bit of historical wordplay here: “brother” could be referring to the (very hip hop) idiom for “friend, comrade” (i.e. Hamilton) in the war for independence, or it could be referencing the next line and his fellow “Sons” of Liberty, an underground group clandestinely supporting the revolution. However, Mulligan’s closest ring of revolutionary spies also included his actual brother,

 

“Hugh, a banker and importer, who did business with the British commissariat in New York. Hugh provided Washington with vital information of British supplies and shipping schedules.”
