“Yorktown (The World turned upside Down)” song analysis * what does Hamilton promise Lafayette?

* At this point in the musical, how is Hamilton “not throwing away [his] shot”?

* why does Hamilton tell everyone to take the bullets out of their guns?

*do you think Hamilton call this “the American experiment”?

*why does his not really mean freedom yet?

Why has the world been turned upside down?

"I go back to France, I bring freedom to my people if I'm given the chance"-Laffayette

"We'll be with you when you do"-Hamilton (Except that's kinda awkward because Hamilton was the one who was like "you know what? lets NOT help them"...

By being careful to not alert their sneak attack to the British so they can have the advantage. He asks his soldiers to remove the bullets from their guns so they don't. accidentally fire and alert the British

*see above*

Because they were taking a big risk with their plan and they didn't know if it would work

because they don't know if they will be able to sustain their country and unite their people, even if the British leave

Because England has been in charge (in many countries) for a long time (not to mention they are north of the US). When the Americans defeat them, they have put themselves on top of the world's greatest kingdom and claimed a victory. The world is turning upside down and putting someone else on top
