Long tradition in theater doing race swapping to make its white audience more comfortable.

White libs feel guilty that their problematic fav founding father owned slaves. So if you race swap the historical figures, effectively having people of color playing characters who IRL considered them subhuman, you can provide a way for white libs to indulge their love of civil religion that ignores addressing their repugnance by modern standards. Libs are forced to address this at times but they subconsciously hate doing so and desire a way to avoid it.
That’s why he created something like Hamilton that could charge a fortune per ticket. It appeals to rich white lib desire.
