Alexander Hamilton: The Unloved and Forgotten Founding Father
No full textAs Americans, we tend to place a high importance on our Founding Fathers. There are streets, schools, monuments, cities, money and more all bearing the name or image of Founding Fathers. In looking at these it becomes apparent that history has not treated all of the Founding Fathers kindly, or equally. Alexander Hamilton, who was undeniably vital to the country?s formation, has become forgotten and actually viewed unfavorably. This negative perception that people have of Alexander Hamilton has been somewhat written about, but among scholars no one has been able to pinpoint its origin. The goal of this paper is to analyze the theories that have been previously written, combined with letters from Hamilton and his peers, in an attempt to come to a conclusion regarding Hamilton's perhaps unfounded bad reputation. Based on this method, a new theory has been found by looking at the previous theories in a new way: as a whole. Alexander Hamilton has come to be regarded with a negative reputation because of his disagreements with Thomas Jefferson, his own personality flaws, combined with Americans tendency to push him away because he reminds us of facts we would rather not remember. Hamilton was also an easy target for those seeking to attack him. This uneven memory of the Founding Fathers is changing though, with new and more truthful biographies about the individuals being published

Letter to Capt. Alex. Hamilton from George Hamilton, 15 July 1812
No full textLetter to Capt. Alex. Hamilton, Niagara, from George Hamilton, Chippewa. The letter
concerns some business with Mr. Summers, formerly belonging to the 2nd Troop which
merits [?] misrepresentations and has been “to the devil”. He writes that to you and
others he states that he is very sorry [?] that it has taken place and pretends not to have
had any hand in it. However, he writes that he has from General Brock himself that he
first proposed only allowing the 1st Troop to continue and begging the charging [?]
powder, preferring the Genl. information to his being from the highest authority?. He
says that some state that they joined the 2nd, and not the 1st Troop. He writes that he has
nothing to do with it but it would be unfair to press them to join against their will. He
adds that Summers is a very decent lad and deserves to be appointed as sergeant [?],
which he intended to do as soon as the 2nd Troop had been filled up. He writes that there
is nothing more that he wants at present than to be aboard the Royal George and Prince
Regent. He states that he will go as a volunteer when things become serious. Some
passages are very difficult to read. He appears to be writing about raising men, and feels
that an injustice has been done to him and he should have had the command of one of
the Comp. He writes that they now wish him to take command with all the best men
taken out. He adds that he is on his way with McCormick to Fort Erie and will return in a
day or two to Queenston. July 15, 1812
