Alexander Hamilton Father of American Banking


Why did Alexander Hamilton want to create a National bank?
Hamilton and the Federalists want a national bank because they believe a strong federal government will benefit all the states financially, even as it regulates their freedom to print money.


When did Alexander Hamilton create the National bank?
In December 1790, Hamilton submitted a report to Congress in which he outlined his proposal for creating a National bank. The National Bank of the United States was established in 1791 to serve as a repository for federal funds and as its fiscal agent.

Is Alexander Hamilton, a Founding Father?
Alexander Hamilton made his reputation during the Revolutionary War and became one of America’s most influential Founding Fathers. He was an impassioned champion of a strong federal government and played a key role in defending and ratifying the U.S. Constitution.

Alexander Hamilton was not a U.S. president, but he became a founding father of the USA even though he was born out of wedlock. A wealthy businessman took him in after he became an orphan as a child. As a teen, he pursued his education, and in 1777, he was in the American army when the American Revolutionary War was fought. After the war, he became a senior aide to George Washington and assisted with leading the new Continental Army. He was the person who represented New York in the Congress of the Confederation.

Hamilton was a trusted member of President Washington’s first Cabinet as he led the Treasury Department; he helped implement the Whiskey Tax that was very controversial after the tariff on imports could not fund the National government-backed Bank of America and to assume state debt. The bankers and business people became members of the Federalist party after mobilizing them and other network friends.
The Jay Treaty that he spearheaded in 1794 is seen as a part of the history of the two-party system that is still alive and well in the US. The party that he was a part of dominated politics for many years until Jefferson’s Democratic-Republican Party won the election in 1800.

Hamilton was instrumental in ending the international slave trade; he actively sought to change laws and campaigned against Vice President Burr in 1804. He tried to get elected to be the governor for New York State. Burr was very offended, and a duel between the two men left Hamilton badly hurt, and he died the following day.
He began developing an interest in life in other places away from the small island where he lived after reading many books, and he liked writing. He wrote to his father about a hurricane that had badly damaged the island that he lived on, which was seen by a very influential Journalist that caused him to be sent to further his education in North America. He wrote about God’s wrath pouring out on the island because of the people’s love for vanity. The journalist thought his letter was a Sermon. It was awe-inspiring, and persons were amazed that a young man who had not attended university as yet could have written such a letter.

Beekman and Cruger was an import-export firm, where Hamilton was employed as a clerk in his early years; they traded with New York and New England. He proved to be very capable as a trader; he was left to manage the firm in 1771 when his boss went on a sea trip.
He spent time with Hercules Mulligan, who had a brother who did trading in 1772 after he arrived in Boston on a ship before he went to New York. Mulligan assisted him in selling cargo, and he earned enough money to pay for his college tuition. It was not long after they met William Livingston, who was a revolutionary and leading intellectual. Livingston influenced him as he stayed with him at his Liberty Hall.

On July 12, 1804, after he resigned and practiced law for a while in 1795, and founded the Bank Of New York.
