that was the fort bunker hill used by alexander hamilton and his artillery. now another question comes up. was hamilton at the battle of white plains? probably not. thanks to the scholarship of my friend michael newton who is also speaking today at another location, michael is a scholar of alexander hamilton and has written not one but two books on hamilton. hamilton the formative years and discovering hamilton and what michael has been able to demonstrate with primary source evidence is that 9/10 of the artillery were not at the battle of white plains. there's a nine out of ten chance that hamilton was not there and furthermore neither henry knox or george washington mention hamilton or his unit by name. now this we do know for sure. hamilton first full-fledged combat, he's not just shooting at two ships in the river and, you know, a cannon explodes near him a few minutes later. this is full combat now. my grandfather was a career marine, i can appreciate how traumatic this must have been. he was at rutrutgers. this is brunswick, new jersey. it was the queen'

and the wording is mostly by alexander hamilton. it's kind of a harbinger of all the work that he worked through and would porridge other documents you think of most famously the federalist papers. it is a variety of tasks for hamilton. many timeout here. correspondence with generals -- continental army that washington is receiving and sending letters to. correspondence with congress. starting with john hancock and samuel huntington from connecticut. there were negotiations for prisoner exchanges. hamilton was very skilled at these nuances of prisoner exchanges with the british. and in fact, at one point, some 600 soldiers were exchanged from the british back to the americans, i believe it was at elizabeth, sometime in the middle of the war. and hamilton handled all of that. that's along with the help of alliance would mill of elizabeth. there was diplomatic measures for hamilton to handle with france. both alexander hamilton and john lawrence, his good friend, or both fluent in french and for that reason they could be sent by washin

i'm going to be a general but i have to serve of under alexander hamilton? i'm henry knox, i was already a general in the american revolution. i have to serve of under hamilton? again, a testament to how high hamilton had climbed and deservedly so in the eyes of former president george washington. here's hamilton's letter around that same time. we're talking late 1798 to oliver w olc ott jr. of connecticut who succeeded hamilton as treasury secretary. hamilton says to wolcott, u.s. should boost taxes, and by the way while you're preparing for war, take out a large loan and finally, quote, establish an academy for naval and military instruction. wow. that's a lot. okay. wolcott's got his hands full. around the same time, speaking of people who are jockeying for position, aaron burr, aaron burr wanted to be a brigadier general. he's politicking for position. he's playing footsie with the federalist. yeah, make i don't like the jeffsonnian republicans so much after all. yeah, i'd like to be a brigadier general. problem is he'd been so critical of george washingt

if this sounds odd to you that alexander hamilton counteracted a protective tariff, that is probably because you have the wrong idea about hamilton's views on protection. the biography will set you straight on that notion. he needed those revenues in order to service the national debt. so he could not and did not want to raise the tariff structure. for very solid economic reasons. i would like to spend the rest of my time with you reviewing some of the secondary effects of hamilton's blessed debt. foremost among those was the bank of the united states, chartered in 1791. the bank, or first bank, the bus, the b.u.s., as it's sometimes called, was a commercial bank, owned in part by private investors, and in part by the federal government, at least until it sold off its shares at an immense profit. the institution established branches in eight seaport cities and made short-term loans to businesses and manufacturers. it was also the federal government's bank. it paid interest on the national debt when it fell due four times a year. transferred money when the government earned it, which w

with us is the alexander hamilton awareness society that you turn to for all things hamiltonian. welcome to tom, sergio, as well as friends of the museum, doug hamilton, dan simon, suzy pock in the house, mike newton, our founder and seth has brought amazing hamilton documents you should check out afterwards and of course the cspan audience. he wrote the words, stroke of luck. he had been introduced to a sunni buffalo ph.d. candidate, who was interested in alexander hamilton and early financial history. i know -- there are well before the show. and we were doing a deeper dive on the aspect of his vision. 1300 pages for his ph.d. thesis. that is staggering. mine was a paltry 300. his is a thousand more and it led to the first quip about bob, which was he can't hold his ink. well, fast forward some 20 years. and that led to a second quip about bob, which is he writes books faster than we read them. if you add to that, five edited volumes, 65 scholarly authors, many have received awards. and i'm holding page 10 of his 47-page cv. you should check out on his university web page where

candidate who was very interested in alexander hamilton in early american financial history and you have to remember that this is well before the people who are more interested in hamilton, very few of us were interested in that and doing a deeper dive on the financial aspects of his vision. in our first look at bob was this ph.d. thesis, 1300 pages. that is staggering. to put that into perspective, models a paltry 300, his is 1000 more. and it led to the first quid about bob. which was that he cannot hold his ink. >> [laughs] >> well, fast forward some 20 years. he's got 20 more books that he's either authored and that led to a second quid about bob is that he writes books faster than we can read them. now, if you add to that five edited volumes, 65 scholarly articles, many of which have received awards. i'm seriously only at page ten of his 47-page ctv. an incredible -- his university web page where he says that he teaches oral -- i don't see pictures of him with fishing years intel. now, in case you have and realized, bob and i have been very good friends -- listed on his web page as

my understanding of alexander hamilton is that he was involved with rather corrupt speculation with government bonds. have we gone too far in presenting this idealized look at hamilton? if so, why and why now? >> that's a good question. >> so there was a lot of speculation, benefitting from insider knowledge. when you look the a his account books and his finances, it is not immediately apparent. i don't know where that money would be. that said, it is entirely conceivable that, and i know this happened. he would go to dinner parties and they would ask questions and watch his response so they could judge what the government would do. so they could do whatever they wanted to do to benefit themselves. so when i say that he himself was out there speculating and collecting? no. would i say that somehow others benefited from him? whether he intended them to or not? probably. i apologize. i'm sitting in new york city right now. you can probably hear the sirens. >> we have eva. we have some tougher questions coming in. can you address hamilton's view on slavery? and what stance he took? >> so that's a

and also the alexander hamilton awareness society. i don't know if you guys are still speaking to me after this. but even if you are not, i thank you very much for your liberal -- actually i should say -- approach these consenting. views thanks a lot. how are we doing this qanon? is there a microphone going around? >> i, i have a proposal for nancy spanish, i run an american system blog on hamilton. the proposal for a substitute for the word finance credit since hamilton's work was all devoted to the idea of public a credit, and i suggest that that gives a higher concept to the kinds of machinations that he was carrying out because the purpose of the credit of wedding the financial cross -- class to the government was to develop the country. he had tremendous support from some working class peoples, as you know from the constitutional activities in new york here. the great ship hamilton that was sent down the broadway in support of the constitution. because it was going to build the country. that is what i would suggest. >> yeah, i th

my understanding of alexander hamilton is that he was involved in some rather corrupt speculation withgovernment bonds. i've gone too far in presenting an idealized view of hamilton? if so, why? why now? >> also, that is a good question. so, beginning from his lifetime, there was -- there were a lot of assumptions about him being corrupt in some way, corrupt speculation. benefiting somehow, privately, from insider knowledge. when you look at he is account books, and look at his finances. it is not immediately apparent, if that happened. there is no, i don't know where that money could be, now, that said, it is entirely conceivable that, and i know that this happened, he would go to dinner parties, his wealthy and well connected friends would sit at the dinner party and ask questions, kind of watch his response. so that they could judge with the government is going to do. so, that they could do anything they wanted to do to benefit themselves. so would i say that he himself was out there speculating and sort of collecting? no. would i say that somehow others benefited from him, whether

early on alexander hamilton. alexander hamilton to borrow a phrase alexander hamilton's america. it isn't just about massachusetts the way thomas jefferson wrote james madison. alexander hamilton doesn't have a single loyalty to any one state. he comes from abroad in the loves america as a whole. and so the key idea is union, joyner died national security and if we don't. an indivisible -- which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780s called the continental. they will become the first federal state which are far more influential than anything and that geostrategic argument for union is we can have a huge moat called it by the goshen and we won't need a big army. as long as we don't kill each other we have to get rid of lindborg like the union of scotland and england. britain beat france with 30 million people. how did they do that? washington understands banks and set as hamilton jefferson and washington not so much. also the strong indivisible union between england and scotland is going to be the model for the more perfect union of america. england colonies are diffe

it's a little over an hour. >> welcome, everyone, as the commemoration at alexander hamilton continues presidents at the museum of -- our partners to day is the alexander him walton society which is an organization that you turn to for all things hamilton ian. we welcome their leadership and mariano and tom -- nicole -- as well as friends of the museum dan simon, suzie park, in the house.

>> well, like a young person, i adored jefferson and was very skeptical of alexander hamilton. the u.n. other people changed my ideas about him. and it changed my idea about hamilton and jefferson has done correspondents. and if i would've said if i'm lucky enough to have a son i will name him jefferson. so my views about him have changed, but obviously a good word about him, especially the young generation he will become the northwest ordinance, not just in the northwest, but in all western territories and he dreams of an america that is open and he's going to help the smart kids that are not born privileged to be able to ride because of their academic aptitude, he inspires ordinary people and in his book it doesn't get the common noun, he's a little bit too stiff and from a geostrategic perspective he talks about that. he tends to do smart things, one of the smartest things he ever does is double the landmass of the united states, an epic achievement. >> it is completely consistent with his geostrategic idea and i'm not sure that they could have done that as federalist because

alexander hamilton to borrow a phrase, alexander hamilton american, and this is from the book. he isn't just about massachusetts the way that john adams might be or virginia the way that thomas jefferson or james madison. alexander hamilton doesn't have a singular loyalty to one state, but ends up coming to new york. he comes from abroad and loves america as a whole and he tries to summon into existence so the key idea is union, join or die, national security, and if we don't create an indivisible union which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780's, and continentalists, they will be the first federal states far more influential like madison wrote federalist and a geo strategic argument for union. and we could have a huge moat called the atlantic ocean, we won't need a huge army and hard for them to kill us if we don't kill each other. and like the union of scotland and england. britain had 10 million people and they beat france with 30 million people. how did they do that? good capital structure things like that. washington has good understanding of banks and jeffe

>> selected by president george washington in 1789 alexander hamilton serve as the first secretary of the treasury until 1785. up next the hamilton scheme, enemies an allies, historian and author discusses alexander hamilton's financial ideas. he's the author of several books about the founding period including the wisconsiny rebellion, founding finance and declaration. it's about 50 minutes. >> now while the museum, the gallery of the museum is closed because of a flood that we sustained, our robust programming continues as evidenced by today. and our author who's speaking is william hoglin. he's written multiple books including autumn of the black snake, declaration, the history of the rebellion. he's a contributor to a recent publications on hamilton. he's also penned many essays and articles that you can read in places like the atlantic monthly, salone, "the new york times," boston are review, huffington post but nup more important than our own financial magazine history. so it should be no surprise that the topic of william's next book is alexander hamilton. it's my pleasure to i

pretty early on alexander hamilton, alexander hamilton america.assachusetts the way thomas turned jefferson or james madison. alexander hamilton doesn't have a singular loyalty to any one state although he comes to new york, he comes from abroad, he loves america as a whole, so the key idea is union from a joint or die, national security and if we don't create indivisible union which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780s hamilton calls the continental list, they will become the first federal state, far more influential but anything like the federalists and they make a geostrategic argument, faith holds together and yes, we can have a huge boat called the atlantic ocean, they won't need a big army, dull powers of europe to kill each other, as long as we don't kill each other, like the union of scotland and england so britain had 10 million people in france with 30 healing, how do they do that works in part because they have good capitol structure, banks and things, washington understands banks, jefferson and madison not so much but al

basically alexander hamilton to borrow a phrase, alexander hamilton not just about massachusetts thems may be or virginia like jefferson he doesn't have a single loyalty to anyone state he comes from a broad he loves america as a whole the key ada is the union enjoying or die national security if we don't create an indivisible union which is what washington is advocating to be called the continental as they will become the first federalist papers that are far more influential and then anything madison wrote to make a geostrategic argument to have a huge moat we don't need a big army to kill us as long as you don't kill each other just like the union of scotland. britain had 10 million people how do they do that? good capital structure and banks in washington understands banks hamilton, jefferson and madison not so much. but the strong indivisible union with england and scotland is a more perfect union. they are fighting with each other and getting involved that isn't what can deuces to liberty as the first and last he has an army on the continent he gives it up doesn't make himself k

meanwhile alexander hamilton was pushed to the side. both these men were put in a position where their prospects were not quite living up to their ambitions. so they got a foul of each other because hamilton said very nasty thing s about burr in one of the political campaigns and burr asked him to retract, at least to acknowledge and to corroborate or to retract and hamilton got stiff-necked about it, said, no, no you have no business asking me this sort of thing, one thing led to another and then to the fatal dual in new jersey in 1804. hamilton was killed. burr was not disgraced by the dual, per se, it was really the mack nations of thomas jefferson that made very clear burr had no political future so burr decided what's he goes to do, he's an ambitious and he did what generations and generations of ambitious young men had been doing, that was, he went to the west. what was he going to do in the west? ah, just ask the question. well, it almost certainly included either inciting or exploiting a war between the united states and spain. s

anddde alexander hamilton to bow phrase, america, he isn't just about massachusetts the way john adams might be of the virginia in the way the tom jefferson or james madison. he doesn't have a single loyalty to money anyone say, he does come to new york and he comes from abroad and he loves america as a whole and he tries to be summoned into existence as of the key idea is union, join or die and national security and if we do not create an indivisible union which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780s and so is hamilton called the continental list then they will become the first page which are far more influential than anything that he wrote and make it geostrategic argument for unions, they pulled together and yes you can have a huge mode called the atlantic ocean, you won't need a big army, and the powers of europe as long as we don't kill each other, we've got to get rid of the land borders and make it like that unions of scotland and england. so britain had 10 million people they beat france with 30 million people and how do they do that are that goodpl capitol structu

alexander hamilton barna phrase, american.t just about massachusetts about adams is her thomas jefferson talks about virginia. hamilton had designed a single loyalty to any uncial state though he does come to new york pretty comes from abroad and he loves america as a whole the price to summon it into existence in the key idea is union, join or die, national security and if we do not create and invisibly union which is was what washington is advocating, in the early 1780s, and so hamilton, they call the continental us, they will become the first federalist which are far more influential than anything the medicine i federalist expanded they make a geostrategic argument for the union. they pulled together and yes they can have a huge mode called the atlantic ocean in the won't need big army and they will be no hard powers of europe. as long as we don't kill each other. we could get rid of the borders and make it into visibly like the union of scotland and england. so britain had 10 million people and france with 30 million peopl

eastern, a look into the life and legacy of alexander hamilton.the founding fathers of the united states and the nation's first treasury secretary. historians discuss his economic policies and his military experience. watch tuesday night beginning at 8:00 eastern here on c-span3. >>> the day after our african-american heritage tour with eric finley, we return to the mobile county training school in africatown to record parts of the spirit of our ancestors festival. we spoke with organizer jocelyn davis. >> the spirit of our ancestors festival is a day set aside to commemorate the descendants of the clotilda. there were festivals that started back in the '80s from the original founders of the descendants association, and i guess it stopped for a while. so i decided to start it up again. and i was reading dr. natalie robinson's book "the slave ship clotilda and the making of africatown, spirit of our ancestors." that's how i came up with the title. i was looking for a title. a lot of things weren't ringing a bell. but when i was reading her book, i

it was written on the night before his dual with alexander hamilton. he wrote a let toor theo explaining what she should do with his letters and papers. this is one of the reasons for the negative developments of aaron burr over time because he says burn these letters, especially the ones in the red ribbon. he survived and the letters didn't. whether theo did away with them, whether they were lost at sea with the oaf? i don't know. there is one interesting aspect is that relationships with hurs like theo are a rich source but only when the individuals in the relationship are far apart. i'll bet many of you in this room read the biography of john adams. yowl rr know mccullau's secret weapon in that book was abigail adams. i was in a conference or meeting where someone said now you've written about john adams. are you going to write about abigail adams? and he said i did. the book is called " -- it's only franklin roosevelt in the title but it's really a dual biography of the two. the curious things about the particular book is the best parts of the book

that role fell to james madison and alexander hamilton and others. but franklin and washington were the two most famous americans, in 1787. and delegates looked on franklin with respect and awe. there seemed little doubt that washington, the imposing-virginia general, would become president of the convention. if there was any com -- competitor for chair, it was the venerable franklin. the very heavens obey him, one georgia delegate noted. but franklin had planned to nominate washington as chair, himself, if a storm had not kept him home for the opening day of the meeting. this son of boston puritans had come a long way to get to the philadelphia meeting hall. he exchanged letters with his beloved sister, who was an evangelical christian and the sibling who maintained the longest correspondence with and the deepest influence on franklin. they reminisced about their humble beginnings as the children of a candle maker. she had remained a person of humble means and relative anonymity while her brother's fame skyrocketed. ben told her that the course of h
