Who He Was

His ability to go to America to study led to his alignment with the US. Working his way up from being a volunteer militia man to an Inspector and Major General of the entire US Army.

His Influence
Without his involvement in the military, the nation's very first president may not have had an advisor that was as trusted and capable as Hamilton while dealing with correspondence. His defense of British Loyalists against the Trespass Act is a series of suits that helped in the development of due process. Then, if it was not for Hamilton being the first Secretary of the Treasury the US may not have come out of that massive national debt. Also the various plans to create and secure a reliable economy would not have come to exist without Alexander Hamilton.
