Not only did we get off on the right foot, but much of what he originally wanted came to pass.
I don't like everything Hamilton advocated, but George Washington trusted him and hardly ever went against his advice. The General knew quality when he saw it.
Hamilton for me was always the American success story. An impoverished bastard immigrant who never even knew his own birth date rose to become one of the leading men of his day or any other. Marvelous.
Happy 4th!
And a Happy Birthday to you!
