Alexander Hamilton was born around the sugar slave plantations of the Caribbean. His fortuitous letter to a friend proclaiming his desire to "exalt his status"  through war proves the foresight that enabled Alexander to influence the ratification of the US Constitution through his Federalist Papers. As 1st Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton directed the country towards a strong economy and further united the people and states through the US Dollar.
