It would be interesting to know exactly why Hamilton supported the Revolution. To modern Americans it seems obvious that their Founding Fathers were in the right, but it was not so clear at the time. New York City was a Loyalist stronghold.
From my distance, it looks like the alternate reality of Canada-like governance would have been a better outcome.
