Alexander Hamilton was born in 1755 St.Kitts, Nevis. (Video1, at 5mins and 47seconds).

His

father's name was James Hamilton, his brother was also James Hamilton born 1753 (Video1, at

5mins and 47seconds). Alexanders mothers name was Rachel (Video1, at 3mins and 56seconds),

she had a son from her other marriage whose name was Peter Lewine. Rachel moved back to

St.Croix in May 1765 because James, her husband at the time and Alexanders father, goes on a

business trip to collect some depts in St.Croix. (Video1, at 6mins and 0seconds).

The king of Denmark had bought all the shares for the trade industries, Danish people started

moving to the Virgin Islands and after other people from over the world started to come over for

trade. (Video1, at 7mins and 32seconds). Alexander gets a job at a firm called Beekman &

Cruger doing import and export. (Video1, at 12mins and 12seconds). His boss leaves him in

charge of the firm at age 14 for some time while he's away from medical purposes. (Video1, at

20mins and 20seconds). Alexander wrote a letter to his father describing a hurricane that he

experienced on August 31st, 1772 which got published in the Royal Danish gazette which

basically was his ticket or opened the way for him to go to America. (Video1, at 22mins and

51seconds). They sent him to college at Kings College in New York which is now known as

Columbia University.

Once war broke out he was elected the captain of the artillery and then became the principal

administrator to George Washington, Washington eventually made in an officer and Alexander

ran most of the war for Washington, he even lead the attack on Yorktown. (Video4, at

30seconds). Hamiltons contributions to the founding of America and to establishing the

economic basis that has made the USA a leading world power included the organization and

writing of the Federalist Papers, becoming the first secretary treasury which allowed him to

create our currency, set up the first national bank in Philadelphia, PA and also organizing
taxations and stabilizing the nation's finances. (Video4, at 1min and 12seconds). Alexander

Hamilton has a statue erected in front of the Department of the Treasury in Washington.

(Video4, at 2min and 45seconds).

One alleged controversial aspect of his life was that Alexander Hamilton is bisexual.

Speculations state that he had a homosexual relationship with Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens.

Most of the speculation on this matter is based on the numerous letters Alexander Hamilton sent

to him during the Revolutionary War. In all facts, I think Alexander Hamilton was rather a

remarkable person, he started poetry at a young age, he wrote his way to America and college

and he was a very intelligent person. Alexander Hamilton wanted a war and he got his war. In

my own opinion, I think Lin-Manuel Miranda took drama and plays to the next level after what

he did with the concept of the Hamilton mixtape, he took history, music, and drama and then

made them into one.
