Watched this in History class and decided to review it. Pretty good history movie. The court scenes were cool and it was portrayed in an entertaining and historically accurate way. Really well made.

Lin-Manuel Miranda didn’t make a musical about John Adams bc he knew people would be writing Jefferson/Adams fanfiction and it would be too powerful 🇺🇸
