What was Alexander Hamilton's education?

Answer 1

It was brutal. He was born illegitimately, and his mother's former husband seized every (every) opportunity to get revenge, so he could never feign legitimacy. His actual father left the West Indies (Nevis) when Alexander was around ten or so, and his mother died when he was fourteen, leaving he and his brother James to fend for themselves. Those who tried to take care of them ended up either dying or deserting them, and Alexander ended up as a clerk for a shipping company, where his intellect was quickly realized. At seventeen a hurricane struck St. Croix, where was he was then living, and he wrote about it in a letter to his father, which was found by several influential people. They raised money to send him to New York to attend college. His childhood left him with a deep hatred of anarchy and despotism, a hatred of slavery, and a large streak of pessimism, a dark filter if you will, that would influence everything he ever did.
Alexander Hamilton was raised in the West Indies and went to North America for his education. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.

Answer 3

Hamilton was born January 11, 1755, on Nevis Island, in the West Indies. His parents never married. His father, the son of a minor Scottish noble, drifted to the West Indies early in his life and worked odd jobs throughout the Caribbean. His mother died in the Indies when he was eleven. Hamilton spent his early years in poverty, traveling to different islands with his father. At the age of fourteen, while visiting the island of St. Croix, he met a New York trader who recognized his natural intelligence and feisty spirit. The trader made it possible for Hamilton to go to New York in pursuit of an education.

Hamilton attended a preparatory school in New Jersey and developed contacts with men who had created a movement seeking colonial independence. When he later entered King's College (now Columbia University), he became active in the local patriot movement. The American Revolution had been brewing in the background, and Hamilton took a keen interest in the battles that flared between the colonists and the British around Boston in 1775. Instead of graduating from college, he opted to join a volunteer militia company.
