Alexander Hamilton (1757–1804) was a Founding Father of the United States, a prominent statesman, and one of the principal authors of the Federalist Papers. Born in the West Indies, Hamilton immigrated to the American colonies in 1772. He quickly became involved in the revolutionary cause, serving as an aide-de-camp to General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War.
Hamilton played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s early political and economic systems. As the first Secretary of the Treasury under President Washington, he established the nation’s financial system, advocating for a strong central government and the creation of a national bank.
Despite his contributions, Hamilton’s political career was marked by controversy. He clashed with political rivals such as Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, leading to his infamous duel with Burr in 1804, which resulted in Hamilton’s death.
Hamilton’s legacy endures through his influence on the Constitution, his economic policies, and his role in establishing the foundations of the United States. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s acclaimed musical, “Hamilton,” further popularized his story, introducing a new generation to the complex and dynamic figure in American history.
