Alex+Hamilton

by Gabriel Marquez Alexander Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary was the person who was in charge of the money.He came up with the money system we use today. He soothed the head aches of the way they use money. I'm thinking that he was the one who made all of the coins silver so that people wouldn't scrape the edges to get a better value of the coin, but then again that was my prediction. Alex was born in Charlestown, decentent to the French. There has been a questioning thought about his birthday. It was ether 1757 or 1755. The main problem was that when he came to the first colonies he tended to have his birthday in rounds, but wierdly celebrated it on every January 11. In the papers after his mother died they listed him as 13 years old. If 1755 was correct, then that would mean that he tried to appear younger than his actual age, and if 1757 was correct, then the papers were wrong so he would be imployable. Which I think that 1757 seems more correct. It would make sense for him to lie about his age to be more imployable. How would you live with no job? Later, Hamilton came to boston for education; mainly to a grammer school. In 1773 he worked with Francis Barber. In a preparation for college work, he became interested in leading intellectual and revolutionary. Which explains why he's a founder. He probably came apon some documentaries that explained some complaints about the king, or over heard some people talking. Later, he applied to go to the university of New Jersey. He explained how he could accomplish documents faster than others. They turned him down. I would to. It seems that he was saying that he was far more supier than other students. Just because you do things faster doesn't mean you're smarter. It ether means you're smart or you just want to get it done. I really hope I'm not like him on this report. Hamilton had a military career. He was a part of the Revolutionary war. He joined a York volenteer called the "Hearts of Oak".Alexander had studied about battle strategies, battle tactics, and formations. He wanted to know more things about this kind of job. Because of this he was promoted to Lieutenant. I think I would do this too. I think that was a smart move. You know, so you won't die. But then again, studying does not increase the creative level. Hamilton led a battle in the Battery. The Battery is at the southern tip of Manhattan island. So, if he was attacking, He would've came from boat trying to push to farther grounds. If he was defending, He would've been trying to defend the incoming boats. I have no information whether or not he was attacking or defending. He was influenced by New York patriots and led the New York Provincial Company of Artillery and was promoted to captain. I think that the best things come from influence. You would be no where with no influence. Alexander was invited to aid Nathanael Greene and Henry Knox. He turned these down because he was hoping to be apart of the Washington Staff. This part reminded me of Julies Ceaser. How Alex turned down major events because He wanted a higher part in society. WHAT A NOBLE! Can't you just take the job and get promoted to the higher classes? Well, I'm afraid this document is over. Alexander was a cool guy it's just that he was too narcissistic. I say this mainly because he thought he should be in the highest class with no work. Goodbye.
