About The Election of 1800
"The Election of 1800" is the nineteenth song in the second act of Hamilton, a 2015 Broadway musical on the life of Alexander Hamilton. In the song, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr's attempts to win the 1800 United States presidential election result in a tie, that Hamilton is portrayed as helping to resolve. However, the song includes several historical inaccuracies—most notably, that Hamilton did not formally break the tie in the actual election.
