- The Federalist Papers
Alexander Hamilton (1755 or 1757 – 1804) was born on Nevis, orphaned early and sent to New York, where he was at King’s College when the Revolution began. He served as Washington’s aide-de-camp, commanded infantry at Yorktown, sat in the Continental Congress and the New York ratifying convention, and wrote fifty-one of the eighty-five Federalist essays in 1787–88 with John Jay and James Madison. As the first Secretary of the Treasury he built the federal financial system; he was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr in 1804.
