Loading ...I am appalled at the thought of removing him from the 10 Dollar Bill .That is a place of honor as the first Treasury Secretary .He gave us a Financial Good Start to a new Nation .He was a “Bastard” by birth and was not allowed in Christian school so it was his good Fortune to be educated by Jewish schools of his day .He used the Library of his Jewish benefactors to educate himself . He was hired to run a business while in his teens ,an import Export business and did so even while his boss was away for months at a time .In Gratitude to such a young man he was sent to Elizabeth NJ to further his education .
He then went to Law School and finish a 3 year Coarse in 9 months .He risked his life in the Revolution and was afraid the war would be over before he could prove himself .He begged Washington to allow him to go into battle.Washington relented as he was afraid of losing his ade-de Camp ..his right hand man .There were times someone would ask Washington an opinion on something and he replied “ask Hamilton “”He knows everything” . He wrote some of Washingtons speeches .He fought along side Washington at Yorktown in the deciding Battle that ended the Revolution .Washington promoted him to General.
There is only one woman that I can think of that comes anywhere near his stature of intellect and that would be Golda Meir .She was Jewish and that would be a fitting compliment of Gratitude to Hamiltons Jewish Schooling .She became a Founder of a Nation as Hamilton did.She was NOT a feminist for sure ..She was born abroad as Hamilton was ,lived in America ,worked as a School teacher and went on to be a Prime Minister of Israel .
Somehow if Hamilton could be retained on the 10 Dollar Bill alongside with a Woman of Golda Meir’s stature ..that would be a compliment to both.
Please no politically correct fems here ,that would be a disgrace. !
