Can you help me learn more about the founding father Alexander Hamilton?

I can help you with this.  Hamilton helped design the original US government.  In that capacity, he was famous for his US Treasury Department, and for his arguments in favor of a strong federal government.  Hamilton himself, like many Americans at the time, was descended from a line of British-born immigrants.  Later in life, he ran for president and lost, but he remains a highly influential figure in US history.
