Alexander Hamilton was born on January 11 on the Caribbean island of Nevis and rose from a difficult childhood to become one of America’s most influential Founding Fathers. A gifted writer and thinker, Hamilton served in the Continental Army as a trusted aide to George Washington, helped shape the U.S. Constitution, and authored more than 50 of the Federalist Papers defending its ratification.
