#1533 A Conversation with Hamilton Scholar Hal Bidlack
Listening to America
Hamilton's Military Background
Hamilton grew up in the Caribbean as John Adams colorfully said the bastard, Brad of scotch peddler. His mother was forced into a marriage against her will to a vile man she ultimately fled. Hamilton's own father leaving on a business trip of three months that extended some 35 years and he never saw him again. He wrote a letter about a hurricane that came through when he was 18 and it was so well written everyone assumed it was an older person. I think perhaps Hamilton's background helps us understand his predisposition to military force.
