Hamilton, A lost child

After Alexander Hamilton’s son was killed, He and his family moved to uptown New York. After, he and his wife stopped fighting(because of the affair). Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison wrote a series of 85 letters to defend the constitution under the name of Publius. These were known as the Federalist Papers. In the Presidential race, Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson were head to head in the race. They ended up tying and The tie breaker was Hamilton. He chose Jefferson even though He hated him. Aaron Burr realizes that Hamilton has been the reason why he hasn’t accomplished anything. They ultimately end up in a duel and Hamilton shoots up but Burr shoots at Hamilton. A bullet struck him right between the ribs and killed him. download

Ultimately, Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow is an incredible book that tells a story of a forgotten founding father. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
