Alexander Hamilton

Did you know that Alexander Hamilton is on the 10 dollar bill? The american revolution started when the english redcoats fired into a crowd of unarmed innocent people. The news spread around america quicker than it got to the king. This was a very big point in history. Alexander Hamilton grew up on the island of Nevis, British West Indies on January 1755 or 1747. During the revolution Hamilton was appointed first secretary of the treasury where he helped a lot with the debt that the revolution caused. In 1777 hamilton became George Washington's assistant. Hamilton was also promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the Continental Army. When he was washington's assistant he wrote a lot of washington's letters and wrote reports on

the restructuring of the continental army. With George Washington's approval he was approved lieutenant colonel of the continental army. Hamilton sadly died when he was in a duel with Aaron Burr on July 12, 1804.
Alexander Hamilton had a hard early life but he wanted to have a good life so he took his first job at the age of 11. Working as a clerk in an accounting firm in St. Croix, he quickly impressed his boss. Hamilton's boss partnered with Nicholas Cruger to send Hamilton to america for education. He arrived in the colonies as a teenager In america when Hamilton was around 15 he enrolled in King's college which is now Columbia University but since america was on the edge of a revolution he was more interested in politics than school. So he left college before graduating to join the patriots and the
protests of British taxes. His first battles were in 1775 in the battles of Long Island, White Plains and Trenton. Next he did 3 more battles in 1777 in the battles of BrandyWine Creek, Germantown and Princeton.
Being secretary was important because he helped with the debts that the war caused by the revolution. While he was secretary he promoted development of the country , to do that he made the first us bank and mint. The bank he made used paper money. Sadly in 1795 he resigned because he wasn't getting enough money but he stayed in touch with George washington. Sence he stayed in touch with George Washington he wasn’t only secretary of the treasury but secretary of the president of the United States George Washington.
Being George Washington's secretary was important because hamilton got to write all of George Washington's important letters. A few of the papers he wrote were essays for the federalist papers ( 51 of 58 of them ) He also wrote some reports on restructuring of the continental army. Although Hamilton wrote all those papers he did not write the constitution but he had a strong approval it. Even though Hamilton like government he also liked war.
In 1775 March 14 Hamilton was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the continental army, with the approval of George Washington. When Hamilton was a lieutenant colonel George Washington let him lead a charge against the british in the battle of yorktown. It was a success the patriots won, the charge also raised the moral of the patriots to win more battles. During that battle Cornwallis
surrendered and that eventually lead to the Treaty of Paris which ended the revolutionary war.

The surrender also lead to 2 treaties signed at Versailles between the French and British. Since there was the Treaty of Paris Hamilton stopped fighting in war when the revolutionary war was over. Hamilton had a good life but it sadly ended on July 12, 1804.

The duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr that Alexander Hamilton died from happend on July 11, 1804 a day before his death. Aaron Burr wanted to duel because Alexander Hamilton stopped him from instead of being president he was vice president and he stopped him from being governor of New york. Alexander Hamilton took the first shot and people say he missed on purpose to make Aaron burr seem like a lesser man. Aaron took the next shot fatally wounding Alexander hamilton. So with everything that happens americas is made it tons of different ways.

In conclusion Alexander hamilton greatly affected american battles, part of the economy and the documents that hold our country together. Without Hamilton George Washington may have never become president and helped out our country. So I think the most basic thing you do in life change so much in the world and hamilton did a good job in his life to make america a better for everyone by working hard and not giving
