Hamilton was left to fend for himself and make a name for himself. As he was the right-hand man to George Washington during the Revolution; we look at the taught history of the war\u2026 Hamilton isn\u2019t mentioned. All credit goes to Washington.<\/p>\n<p>After the war, and Washington is elected president; Hamilton is elected Secretary of Treasury. Hamilton is often told to set himself aside and comply with the other \u2018more important\u2019 people. Hamilton is left out over and over. He has been, in a sense put aside. Hamilton has the wisdom to be a founding father that has not been forgotten. Again, why are the people that matter a lot and have formed an important part of this country just set aside? Alexander had struggled through life; this in a way is still relevant in 2020. It is hard to start at the bottom and be known at the top. In today\u2019s world, 2020, people who make extraneous impacts are left in the dust when it is time for giving credit.<\/p>\n<p>What this homework assignment has made me think about is that yeah maybe I am a woman in the broken world right now, but if I want to make an impact in this world I must continue without recognition. And man does it stink to move forward, but impacts must be made to even have a chance to change what must be changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we learn throughout history and Hamilton specifically, we learn that Alexander Hamilton was the forgotten founding father.
