Hamilton has his face on money. He even has his own musical. That’s due to his childhood. Alexander Hamilton was born January 11, 1755, in Nevis West Indies. Hamilton didn't know his parents well, since his parents died when he was young. Later he was moved to King’s College (now Columbia university), since he was found smart. Hamilton had his pros and cons, but that led up to greatness.

Alexander was a man who was rebellious. This man was one out of many to say no to Britain’s rule. He gave speeches and he protested. This eventually got him to the military ranks of Lt. colonel in the new U.S. military. Also he adopted the U.S.A. So he had built his fame from the ground up.

His mark made a thriving country that gives the promise of freedom to all. Hamilton’s work with speeches and protests created something huge. The United States of America.

Alexander Hamilton did so many important things. He was poor and accepted into college. He lived knowing he had no one but his wife and children. He pushed the boundaries of freedom. He helped so many people by doing these things.
