Event: Alexander Hamilton and the Triumph of New York
Date: April 10
Time: 7:00-8:00pm
Location: Morris-Jumel Mansion
65 Jumel Terrace
New York, NY 10032
Info: The United States is the world’s preeminent capitalistic economy. It is the most diverse nation in the history of humanity. It also has more lawyers and more lawsuits than anywhere else, and its governmental system is founded on the belief that political conflict, freely and publicly argued, is the best hope for stability in the long run.
New York’s THE source of these quintessentially American traits. Yet the New York legacy generally goes unrecognized. How did New York come to have such a formative influence on the United States? And how did it manage to do so without getting any of the credit?
More than anyone else, Alexander Hamilton is the answer to both of these questions. One of the most enthusiastic of our adopted sons, Hamilton successfully spliced much of the City’s unique culture into the national genotype. But the twists and turns of the then-emerging political party system, along with Hamilton’s own complex and fluctuating national reputation, have long kept this connection hidden from public view. Join historian Warren Shaw as he tracks Alexander Hamilton and New York City in the formative years of the United States.
