Hamilton’s success exemplified the era’s embrace of multicultural nationalism.

Evidence

The defining cultural moment of Obama’s presidency arrived in its final years. On August 6, 2015, Hamilton officially premiered on Broadway: Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop-infused retelling of Alexander Hamilton’s life with actors of color. “In order to dislike it,” wrote New York magazine about the preview, “you’d pretty much have to dislike the American experiment.” The show’s runaway success—with tickets commanding astronomical sums—suggested a nation fully embracing a multicultural, inclusive narrative of its history. Hillary Clinton, securing the Democratic nomination in 2016, mentioned Hamilton twice in her acceptance speech. — W. David Marx, Blank Space, 411
