Hi there, Let me give this a go! ; )

•Alexander Hamilton probably lied about his age.
The illegitimate son of a Scottish immigrant father and a British West Indian mother (who happened to be married to someone else), Alexander Hamilton was born on the Caribbean island of Nevis on January 11. Hamilton himself claimed that he had been born in 1757, but official documents from Nevis list the year as 1755.

•Alexander Hamilton accomplished a lot—probably more than most people realize.
Though he never attained the highest office of his adopted country, few of America’s founders influenced its political system more than Alexander Hamilton. He was a member of the Continental Congress, an author of the Federalist Papers, a champion of the Constitution and the first secretary of the Treasury.

•HAMILTON DABBLED IN POETRY.
For a self-educated orphan (his father had abandoned his family when Hamilton was just a boy, and his mother died not long after), the future founding father wrote with unbelievable polish.

• THE OLDEST UNIT IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY IS HAMILTON’S.
According to the Army Historical Foundation, “Battery D, 1st Battalion, 5th Field Artillery, 1st Infantry Division (Mechanized), traces its lineage to Hamilton’s Revolutionary War artillery company and is the oldest serving unit in the regular army.”

•IT’S BELIEVED THAT HE AUTHORED MOST OF THE FEDERALIST PAPERS.
Apart from his stint as America’s first Secretary of the Treasury, this is the political achievement for which Hamilton is best known.

•HE FOUNDED THE NEW YORK POST.
Established by Hamilton in November 1801, the paper was originally known as The New York Evening Post.

•Alexander Hamilton was the first secretary of the Treasury, from 1789 to 1795. He created the modern U.S.

•He also spent time on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts before he emigrated to New York and became a prototypical American success story.

•Alexander Hamilton was mortally wounded in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr on July 11, 1804, in Weehawken, N.J. He died the next day, and Burr's reputation was ruined.

•Alexander Hamilton was a student at King's College -- later Columbia University -- before he left to fight in the Revolutionary War.

I tried my absolute best! I hope you are able to use some of these bullet points.
Have a terrific day and happy studying!
