Alexander Hamilton (January 11, 1755 or 1757 â July 12, 1804) was an Americanpolitician, leading statesman, financier, intellectual, military officer, and founder of the Federalist party.
Alexander Hamilton was born on the West Indies island of Nevis to James Hamilton, the fourth son of a Scottish laird, and Rachel Fawcett Lavien, of part French Huguenot descent.
Alexander Hamilton is sometimes considered the "patron-saint"?title=of the American School of economic philosophy that, according to one historian, dominated economic policy after 1861.
American interests in South Africa were long-standing, with approximately 1,000 Americans among the white non-Boer, or Outlander, population, and American mining engineers--contracting with British interests as Turk had done in Burma--had been a powerful lobby for a British conquest since the 1880s.
American banks and exporters stood to profit from wartime loans and trade with Britain, the Republican party in power was stocked with influential East Coast Anglo-Americans, and the United States was looking for powerful allies in its own drawn-out imperial war in the Philippines.
American civil engineers were busy deepening Manila's harbor; botanists and mineralogists were classifying the islands' exploitable resources; anthropologists were studying the islands' peoples; constabulary patrols were eyeing their neighborhoods.
