The Accomplishments Of Alexander Hamilton And George Washington

One thing a lot of people don't know about Alexander Hamilton is that he and his son were both killed in duels in the same place, with his son, Philip named after his wife's father, defending his honor, and Hamilton being killed by Aaron Burr. Hamilton achieved many things while he was in office as Secretary of Treasury. Hamilton assisted George Washington in many ways, one thing Hamilton did to help Washington was endorsing him to become the first president of the United States, just like when Washington supported Hamilton during his run for Secretary of Treasury. Which gave Washington big opportunities, because Hamilton was a very influential person. His wife, Elizabeth Schuyler, was the daughter of Philip Schuyler(staff), which gave Hamilton

Alexander worked on the papers with two other people, James Madison and John Jay. James Madison went on to become the 4th president, and John Jay signed the Treaty of Paris which ended the French and Indian War (staff). The Federalist papers were a list of reasons why the colonists should ratify the constitution. The papers were written between October 1787 and May 1788 (loc). While Madison wrote 28 and Jay wrote 5, Hamilton wrote 52 of the Federalist papers (founding fathers).

During the Battle of Preston Hamilton use cannons to fire upon British troops blockaded inside Preston University, ironically 3 years earlier Hamilton had alpide to that same school but was rejected. The Battle of Yorktown was the most important battle of the Revolutionary war and the French navy had a lot to do with that the Commander of the French ships was Francois, Count de Grasse, and again in this battle Hamilton begged Washington to let him help.

At first the French and American forces did not communicate leading to many lost battles, but eventually they got into sync and were able to start winning battles like the Battle of Yorktown. During the Battle of Yorktown, Hamilton used his knowledge of artillery to help win the battle. Lafayette, which was the division Hamilton was appointed to, was directed to block the British from escaping to the ocean. Alexander Hamilton helped a lot during and after the
