Alexander Hamilton was a great man that will be remembered for being a great major general of the armed forces of the United States of America. As well as the secretary of the treasury. In 1769, at twelve years old he had a job as a clerk in a general store and Alexander dreaded spending the rest of his life there. He wanted something more for his future. He wished for a war to occur. He wanted to prove himself to be more worthy then a clerk. To his thinking, only some brilliant and heroic act on the battle field would give me a chance to achieve his hopes. He seemed to be doomed to a life of clerking. For one thing, he was at the bottom of a social ladder. His parents, who never married, separated when Hamilton was
The gunfire of his final duel has the whole nation in a frenzy. Alexander Hamilton has made a new mark on history. The Hamilton: An American Musical craze is spreading like wildfire. This musical takes you through the life of the founding father through a series of pop and rap music. The rap music is what makes this particular music so unique. That is the main appeal of this musical. Not many musicals today take on this musical style. The box offices can not keep tickets in for this masterpiece.

How much of Hamilton’s actual life went into the storyline
From the start of creating this treaty the founding fathers were greatly split into two camps. The Federalist led by Hamilton were seen as pro-British supporters and the antifederalist were being led by Thomas Jefferson. (Milestones: 1784–1800 - Office of the Historian) This treaty was increasingly becoming a partisan issue that was plaguing our young nation. Though the Federalist were being considered pro-British Jay himself a Huguenot was not completely pro-British. As Combs says, “Yet Jay’s dislike of France did not make him pro-British at this time. His attempts to mold an anti-British alliance with Spain is ample evidence of that” (Combs 18) He was not completely pro-British though many were making him out to be. The founding fathers had
Hamilton emphasizes the necessities for balancing the power among the branches by claiming the two points that are important to implement.
Hamilton felt that instead of having a state government, the political power should all go to the national government. He believed that being one with union and not having any states at all would be best for the country. He wanted to get rid of state rights and the states itself but he knew would never happen due to the amount of people who would oppose to that. Hamilton stated that the best government system is monarchy and wanted to lean towards that with his statement. So, he wrote a proposal stating that most of the power should go to the national government but still allow the states to still obtain some of their rights. That’s why he thought that the new Constitution was needed.
What is nature? Nature is a force that controls us. We are born with natural talents that
Hamilton writes about concerns that the Constitution would take away authority from state judicial systems. He clearly states in Federalist #82 that the states will “retain all pre-existing authorities which may not be exclusively delegated to the federal head.” The state courts will keep the same powers they had with the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution will not render that at all. Hamilton writes that only specific powers, listed in the Constitution, are granted to the new federal government and states are denied of them.
“Who would not rather have the fame of Archimedes than that of his conqueror Marcellus.” Was a Quote from mathematician and astronomer William Rowan Hamilton, meaning that he would rather be known for his intelligence than his strength. When he was a child, he had accomplished more than most. He made many breakthroughs in math. He wrote a copious amount books in mathematics.
Unless you haven’t had any contact with the internet for the past few months, then you would have heard of the new musical that has been on every one’s lips, or…er…Fingers, considering all communication on the net is conducted through the clicks of keys. Anyway, Hamilton, if you haven’t heard, is a musical with a hip hop style about the life of the first American Treasurer, Alexander Hamilton.

The duel was set for today. Time is running out. In the distance, a clock was ticking til’ time was up for first shots. Then, you could see a tall slender man with dark brown eyes coming your way. He was wearing a black shirt, a blue coat, and a hat. There he was, Aaron Burr was sitting in a boat, rowing over the Hudson at dawn in Weehawken, New Jersey. In the distance, you could see a taller man with bright blue eyes with a white shirt and a red coat on coming your way. His name was Alexander Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton pursued a job as a leading Federalist of America's Political Company. He was with Nathaniel Pendleton and a doctor by the name of Dr. David Hosack. At that instant, Burr got out of the boat and walked onto the terrain. Burr examined the province and got into position. This land looks like the Garden of Eden. Burr realized. Soon after, Burr and Hamilton stood back to back and took exactly ten paces each from each other. Although, neither one of them wanted to duel.
Trying to rise up and make something with his life Alexander Hamilton, in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s stunning performance, Hamilton: The Musical, writes his way out of many bad situations and started out with absolutely nothing but was able to rise up and help shape the way America is today. Hamilton impacted many people in good ways and also in bad ways, one of those people was a man named Aaron Burr. The two of them knew each other for a very long time, and they didn't get along at all they were complete opposites throughout their life times. This constant rivalry soon lead to Hamilton’s death. They had a duel and Hamilton shot in the air signaling that he didn’t want to resort to killing while Burr had shot Hamilton in between the ribs.

He gave us our financial system and yet until Hamilton, the musical, no one knew who he was. When Hamilton was in the womb he was left by his father, James A. Hamilton. A thirteen years later, his mother, Rachel Faucette Buck, died on February 19, 1768. Rachel was in an abusive relationship before meeting James. She wasn’t allowed to remarry back then because of the little amount of rights women had before.
“How does a bastard orphan, son of a whore and Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar¨ ( Miranda). Weaved in and throughout this question lies the life of a young man, an artist, with a calling to break barriers and knock down walls of oppression and judgement. Miranda, a 32 year old playwright, performer, lyricist and composer, has begun to make a name for himself on the Great White Way due mostly to the moving messages that are the foundation of his work such as In The Heights and most recently, Hamilton: An American Musical, written by Lin-Manuel himself; concerning the life of immigrant turned political superstar, Alexander Hamilton,
I grew up in Hamilton,Mississippi, a small town located in the country. In Hamilton we only have a few stores ; dollar general, sprint mart, Fred's pharmacy, etc. Hamilton may be a small town but it has the most drama and it is full of news and entertainment. The area where most of the drama is a community called "the hills" which is where I live. The hills is an area full of black people, who sometimes get along and sometimes fight each other. In the hills we have two churches , named Valley Chapel United Methodist Church and Mt.Zion Missionary Baptist Church. I attend Valley Chapel church, a church full of good , christian people. At my church we try to help the community by going out and picking up all the trash on the side of the road,
