Alexander Hamilton is the Founding Father pictured on the ten-dollar bill. Unlike George Washington (on quarters and dollar bills), or Thomas Jefferson (on nickels and two-dollar bills), Hamilton was never elected president. The two facts people most often recall about Hamilton are that he served as the first secretary of the treasury and that he was killed by Aaron Burr in a duel. He deserves more credit than those two facts suggest. His presence on the ten-dollar bill shows that he played a crucial role in the early years of our country.
2 Although many key figures from early history came from privileged backgrounds, Hamilton grew up in poverty in the West Indies. He was such a brilliant child that a kindly churchman arranged for his schooling in New York, where he attended Kingās College, now Columbia University.
3 Hamilton first achieved distinction during the Revolutionary War. His abilities attracted the attention of George Washington, who appointed him an aide-de-camp and relied on him as a personal secretary and adviser. Later in the war, Hamilton resigned as aide to lead troops directly in battle.
4 Hamilton became a successful attorney and an important figure in New York and national politics after the war. His support for a strong central government helped bring about the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Hamilton was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers which defended the new Constitution. Appointed by Washington as secretary of the treasury, Hamiltonās fiscal policies ensured the stability of the new republic. His rivalry with Thomas Jefferson helped spark the rise of the political parties in the United States.
5 Even after Hamilton resigned his office, he remained influential on the national stage and in the New York politics. His opposition to another New York politician, Aaron Burr, led to the infamous duel and Hamiltonās untimely death.
"[Alexander Hamilton] deserves more credit than those two facts suggest."
