Join Professor Andrew Porwancher as he debunks a string of myths about the origins of this founding father to arrive at a startling conclusion: Hamilton, in all likelihood, was born and raised Jewish. With a detective’s persistence and a historian’s rigor, Porwancher upends longstanding assumptions and revolutionizes our understanding of an American icon.

Andrew Porwancher is the Wick Cary Professor of Constitutional Studies at the University of Oklahoma. He is the author of four books, including The Jewish World of Alexander Hamilton, which was published by Princeton University Press and won the Journal of the American Revolution Book-of-the-Year Award. Porwancher’s writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. He has held fellowships at Oxford, Princeton, and Harvard.
