I believe he founded the US bank so that state banks wouldn't collapse when too many people tried to withdraw at the same time. It was called the Bank of America.
The above answer does not answer the question asked. The answer is: Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury.

∙ 11y agoHe was the very first Secretary of the Treasury under President George Washington from September 11, 1789 through January 31, 1795.
Many people don't realize that George Washington made him second in command of the military in 1798 - "Inspector General of the U.S Military". When Washington passed away on December 14, 1799, Hamilton became the top military person in the nation until June of 1800.

Why did Alexander Hamilton support the protective tariff?
Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of Treasury when the first tariff was proposed and passed.
