It doesn't excuse slavery at all, the existence of slavery underlies like all the moral judgments especially in the second half of the show. you can, I guess, make a case that the only morally upright thing to do is exclusively to tell stories about POC. but unless you're making that case, I'm pretty goddamned at a loss as to how Hamilton could have done what they did better.

If it appeals to WASPs, it's not because it excuses the Founding Fathers. it's because it allows them to pretend that because they're aware of those problems, those problems stop existing, and allows them to ignore their own structural complicity. but that's completely different from lionizing the founders and papering over the legacy of racism and slavery in our society.
