Alexander Hamilton's life was shaped by his experiences of orphanhood and his immigrant background. Growing up in the Caribbean, his early struggles with poverty and lack of opportunities fueled his ambition. Key events, such as his role in the American Revolution and contributions to the Federalist Papers, defined his support for a strong central government. Hamilton's experiences with political and financial instability led him to advocate for a robust national bank and fiscal policies. His vision for America was informed by both personal adversity and the greater goal of establishing a stable republican framework.
