<span>1. How much time passed between
Alexander and Eliza meeting and his asking for her hand in marriage?</span>
Eliza first met Hamilton during her stay at the Schuyler
Mansion in 1778, albeit briefly. Their first meeting was early in 1780, at
Morristown, New Jersey. They exchanged letters, until in April of the same year
they got engaged and then married by December.
2.
How did Alexander go about asking for her hand in marriage?
Alexander and Eliza exchanged many letters (many of which
are still existing today) while they were apart and in them they grew more in love.
By March, they both expressed their desire for marriage and by April they were
wed at the Schuyler Mansion.
3.
What made Angelica a desirable match? What made Alexander an undesirable match?
Angelica Schuyler Church was
Elizabeth’s (Alexander’s wife) sister and although there are many
allegations of adultery between them, the strong bond of the sisters prove
otherwise. Intellectually, Angelica and Alexander are more of a match.
In many ways, Eliza is the ‘perfect’ wife for Alexander but
he himself is not that a great match for her. He is a womanizer and cares more
or his political career than his personal relationships.
4.
What was the purpose of marriage/courtship in colonial America?
Courtship and marriage is not that different then from now. While
some may pursue marriage for political maneuvering courtship was a free avenue to meet socially and get to
know each other. Women in particular, take advantage of this window of time to ‘collect’
suitors before they select one and then become tied to the obligations of rearing
children and taking care of the home.
