Since Charles Lee is played as a pretty young guy in Hamilton, I’m not sure how many people are aware of the full context and hilarity of Laurens’s roast of Lee at Lee’s court-martial

Laurens was a 23-year-old aide-de-camp when he testified at the court-martial.  Charles Lee was 46 and a general.  Lee was twice Laurens’s age and outranked him, but Laurens had no reservations about completely dragging him.

Laurens and his sass were a gift to this world.
