This is exactly the opposite of how I feel about hamilton. And lin-manuel miranda in general. As much as hip-hop is fundamentally a "telling" art form, I feel like Miranda's text is far far on the "show don't tell" spectrum in terms of it's emotional content, say, compared to 90s west coast hip hop. (See also moana, the lyrics in that are very tell-not-show). For a more intelligent fictionalisation of that era, I recommend Burr, by Gore Vidal.
