Jackson

research now indicates that he was born at least two years earlier in 1755. He was the son of James

Hamilton(1752-99), a Scottish trader, and Rachel Faucett Lavien (1729-69). After his mothers death and

his fathers bankruptcy in 1769, at age eleven he entered the countinghouse of David Beckman and

Nicholas Cruger at Saint Croix. There he presented the ability to comprehend the complexities of

commerce and accounting. At the age of fifteen, with the help of friends and family to help pay to further

his education, he studied at a grammar school at Elizabeth, N.J., and the attended King’s College now

Hamilton’s first public act for the revolutionary movement was in 1774 at a meeting held in the

“fields” now known as City Hall Park in New York City. Hamilton defended the Boston Tea Party and

influenced the callings for the democratically chosen delegates to the First Continental Congress. In the

winter of 1774-75, he wrote anonymously two pamphlets, A Full Vindication of the Measures of Congress

Lawyer and Federalists

In 1780, Hamilton married Elizabeth Schuyler(1757-1854), daughter of Gen. He and Burr met on July 11, 1804, in Weehawken, N.

Later Career and Death

In 1795, Hamilton returned to law practice in New York City. He had the help of John Jay and James Madison in writing

the newspaper pieces(essays) that were collected and published under the pseudonym, “Publius,” which he

called, The Federalist. The complexity of the Hamiltonian system is demonstrated by the first two

major victories of his career at the Treasury Department. After serving about one year in the Continental

Congress in 1782-83, he returned to the practice of law. If so, then maybe we should

take in consideration the fame of others who never sat in the White House, including Benjamin Franklin

and Thomas Edison. It probably had little impact on the actual course of

ratification, since the name of the authors remained anonymous. After two years

of combat, General Nathanael Greene introduced him to Commander-in-Chief, George Washington. ”

Secretary of the Treasury

Hamilton is best known for his tenure as Secretary of the Treasury, for its in that role that he

made his most important and lasting contributions to the governance of the nation. His idea for a strong, centralized, federal

government as well as a president for life was not accepted by the other convention delegates. In

1777 Washington invited him to become his aide-de-camp and personal secretary. After that, Hamilton and

Adams quarreled bitterly and publicly.
