Detailed explanation-1: -It’s unlikely, given Eliza and Angelica’s lifelong closeness, that Angelica and Alexander had an affair. We can never know for sure: either way, sexual intimacy was not the defining characteristic of their relationship.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamilton and Angelica both dearly loved Eliza. Another argument against the possible Angelica–Hamilton affair is their mutual adoration of Angelica’s sister and Hamilton’s wife, Eliza. That bond would likely have prevented them from breaking her heart with an affair.
Detailed explanation-3: -In one of her letters, she bluntly admitted to her sister that she loved Hamilton “very much and, if you were as generous as the old Romans, you would lend him to me for a little while.”
Detailed explanation-4: -Elizabeth Schuyler was born in Albany in 1757, to a wealthy family that had social ties to prominent early Americans. She met Alexander Hamilton in 1780, when both were in their early 20s.
