Alexander Hamilton Coffroth died on 1906-09-02.

Yes. Alexander Hamilton served with George Washington and was George's personal secretary for a few years during the War of Independence. This makes him involved in the military.

yes he did cheat on her for 13 monthes

Alexander Hamilton suggested that another meeting to be held in Philadelphia.

Yes, Alexander Hamilton has 8 kids.

I can only guess. Under normal circumstances a patriot can recruit men into a militia unit. They elect their own officers. Such was the case of Patrick Henry as the first commander of the First Virginia Regiment.

No. None of the founding fathers wanted a strong federal Government. They set up a federal system that served the needs for defense and trade between states and nothing more. This was the framework that they felt would prevent another King situation like that of England at the time or the bloated Federal system we see today.

Yes. Alexander Hamilton was a delegate from New York, and the only New Yorker to sign the Constitution. The other two, John Lansing, Jr., and Robert Yates, walked out of the Convention before it ended because they opposed substituting a new Constitution for the Articles of Confederation.

Funding and assumption

Burr

When it came to society and other people, Alexander Hamilton was distrustful. Extremely distrustful, particularly of the masses. He thought that you could only control the people by appealing to their vices, and by force. Hamilton thought that the government could easily be corrupted, unless you clamped down on potentially fickle citizens. This is easily displayed by his June 18 speech at the Constitutional Convention. So in summary, he thought that the main view of society was not a positive one and easily able to succumb to corruption.

They created a strong economy

by having industrial, building, and trades

Alexander Hamilton was killed in a pistol duel with Aaron Burr. Although dueling was illegal in New York (where it was arranged) and New Jersey (where it was fought), Burr was found not guilty. Burr went on to lead a very controversial and colorful life full of plots and intrigue.

Alexander Hamilton was never president. The highest office he held was that of Secretary of the Treasury. Becoming president would involve exploiting a loophole in the Constitution (he was not born in the colonies but in the Caribbean and was only a US citizen because he was around at the signing of the Constitution), and he didn't want the job anyways.

Alexander Hamilton felt it was necessary for the country to have a banking system run by the federal government rather than state banks in order to aid the government's fiscal operations and to help unify the nation's credit and capital markets.

He favored tariffs because he wanted to place them on items & such to pay off all the debts.

Alexander Hamilton wanted to save the young United States from the post-Revolutionary war depression it sank into. In addition to his controversial fiscal program, the bank would help accomplish this feat. The bank would serve as a depository for government funds.

Alexander Hamilton conceived the first bank to handle the huge debt incurred during the Revolutionary War. It was also used to create a standard form of currency.

1.) He had an affair with a married woman while in office and already married. When her husband found out, he blackmailed the president for money. Counterargument: Okay, first of all, if that is bad, what about Thomas Jefferson raping his teenage slave and having 6 kids with her? Hamilton was always very against slavery. Also, he was kind of manipulated by the woman who he had an affair with. He's not the only one that she and her husband tricked.

2.) He lied about the affair in office. Later in retirement, he confessed and shocked his supporters. He ruined his reputation for the rest of his life.

No, he didn't lie about it. Yes, he did later confess in a 90p-page pamphlet on it, that was stupid, but you could argue that that was him being way too honest. Okay, sometimes being too good is bad, sure. I see the point.

3.) He had very different ideas. He wanted the president to serve for his whole life, the power for the president to be able to absolute veto anything, and he wanted a monarchy.

He really didn't trust any Founding Father other than Washington.

Fun Fact: One of the Founding Fathers was actually a con man. I wouldn't trust him either. He did believe more in a meritocracy than a democracy, partly due to his origins. He worked his way up from a bastard orphan on a tiny island in the Caribbean to the first Treasury Secretary. He really wanted a strong central democracy, and he had a very pessimistic view of people and the world in general, so he didn't trust people to make choices for themselves. However, some historians believe that he suggested the more powerful president (HE NEVER WANTED A MONARCHY!) in order to make the state plans seem less extreme. (You know, when everyone was arguing over whether all states should get an equal say or if it should be based on population?)

4.) He was disliked in general. He was Thomas Jefferson's rival.

THOMAS JEFFERSON WAS A HORRIBLE PERSON. He was an active slave owner, who made it part of the Constitution that Congress could not even begin to talk about the issue until 1808. He made it so that slaves, although unable to vote, counted as part of the population. He wanted America to be made of isolated slave-owning rich white male farmers. I guess the farmer dream isn't that bad... but I like Hamilton's idea of America leading the global economic market, there being no slaves, and having huge centers of culture and innovation a LOT better. And again, remember Sally Hemings? Also, they were related! Incest is not good!

Alexander Hamilton, like most of the Founding Fathers, was pretty interesting off-screen. Hamilton had a brilliant mind and made a valuable contribution to the birth of the United States, especially as Secretary of the Treasury, but devoted much of his intelligence to scheming and exacting revenge on his opponents.

Hamilton's enormous ego and strong desire for power alienated his fellow Founding Fathers because he was arrogant and argumentative in meetings. He tended to exaggerate his accomplishments and was also fond of flattering himself.

He disdained the common citizen, believing they were too ignorant to participate in government, or even to vote. The Federalist Party, in which Hamilton was a key figure, were elitists and echoed Hamilton's desire for a strong central government that dominated the states and was controlled only by the well-educated members of upper class society.

Hamilton's personality tended to be snide and sarcastic, although he could present himself well when the occasion required it. He loved gossip, and especially loved starting rumors by making comments suggesting his opponents were dishonorable and couldn't be trusted. Today, we would consider him perpetually snarky.

Although married, Alexander Hamilton had frequent affairs with other women, both married and single, and had the nerve to bring them into his own bed while his wife and children were away. One woman turned out to be a con artist who extorted a large sum of money from him, supposedly to keep her husband from beating Hamilton for sleeping with his wife. Hamilton preferred paying over a beating, possibly because he was small (5'6") and frail and likely to receive serious injuries.

Hamilton could be extremely mean-spirited: he held grudges and would secretly undermine his political opponents whenever he got a chance. He often provoked threats in response to his attitude, most famously with his political enemy Aaron Burr, who was Vice-President under Thomas Jefferson. In fact, the animosity toward Burr lead to a pistol duel over Hamilton's refusal to apologize for false comments and rumors he allegedly started against Burr at a party. The two men exchanged a number of "polite" letters about the incident, but Hamilton refused to apologize.

Eventually, Burr became so enraged he challenged Hamilton to a pistol duel in Weehawken, New Jersey. Hamilton shot first and the bullet went approximately four feet wide and fourteen feet over Burr's head, lodging in a branch of a pine tree. "Throwing away a shot" was a common means of ending a duel honorably, but Burr apparently wanted to injure (or possibly kill) Hamilton, and fired directly at him. The bullet struck Hamilton's hip, pierced his abdomen, then bounced around inside, damaging organs, before becoming wedged in Hamilton's spinal column. He was instantly paralyzed from the waist down and aware he'd received a mortal wound. Hamilton died of his wounds the next day, the victim not only of Burr's anger but of his own personality flaws.

All the English speaking colonists of North America were British citizens at that time; the French were their common enemy.
