Alexander Hamilton has been enjoying a renaissance.
Indeed, Americans in the twenty-first century may admire Hamilton
more than any generation since the founders themselves. An immigrant
from the Caribbean, a disadvantaged orphan who became a war hero,
a self-made man who rose to become a framer of the Constitution and
architect of the American financial system, and ahead of his time
in his opposition to slavery, Hamilton offers the modern reader much
to admire.
This exhibition was created by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American
History in support of the American Experience film Alexander Hamilton.
