Alexander Hamilton: First Architect Of The American Government

Description

What did Alexander Hamilton ever do but even so get shot in a duel by Aaron Burr? On the subject of the American government, the answer is: practically everything.

Born in the West Indies, Hamilton used to be the illegitimate child of a Scottish nobleman who lost a fortune in sugar plantations. Orphaned as a teenager, he came to The usa looking for an education, a home, and the war that would at last bring him fame and honor. As George Washington’s most trusted aide, Hamilton helped to win the American Revolution—but after the war, his enemies lost no time accusing him of trying to sell his country back to the British. He used to be the most powerful member of Washington’s presidential cabinet—so why did Adams and Jefferson hate him such a lot?

In this book, you’ll learn the way the creator of the Federalist Papers and the first Secretary of the Treasury nearly ruined his career by fighting duels, seducing women, and getting involved in The usa’s first sex scandal. The duel that killed Alexander Hamilton is the most famous duel in American history, but you’ll have to get a hold of your own answer to its greatest mystery: who shot first, Hamilton or Burr?
