HAMILTONIAN AMERICA.Chapter 4.Hamiltion In America.page 1,2,3.

David rose up early took his birth and dined much quickly.Before seven o clock he was out on a bicycle pedaling away briskiness on a stretch of seven kilometers to school away from home.An avid bike rider randomly ringing the bell childishly playing hands at the handlebars  occasionally bouncing on his sit and the saddle durressing the sprocket.Ambulating the manual velocity ably with pedal up and down vexatiously intermittently igniting the side shoes at the caliber ricocheted at the brake friction and gears to flouncing and swinging at the sandlebag.You could hear the dancing spoke and the chain speaks to the windy evading forks  back tire splashing muds at the mudgards and biceps of the frontire wiggles.It weighed down in gear lever.Daily  bikings ,on the sometimes muddy road that leads into the farm village where the school was located.He came late this time around when students were already at assembly ground.He bode off the main entrance for fear of encroachment and apprehension ,headed to the loophole at the forest way,sneaked in the bike through the backdoor.He met a couple of miscreants and truants like him balked at him.He rose up with no food in his stomach somehow dehydrated and roused interest in the school garden melee .Then he stopped to play with students and some hooligans who were busy identifying the crops by nomenclature and benediction. He was captured with the latecomers and penalized to identify nomenclature.
Mark was senior students teacher deisciplined late comers-urchins and was in charge of school farms and also take them on farmland tourism.He was quite uncomfortable when he interrogated a group of students including latecomers in their age grades of 15s,16s,17s,18s and 19s, caught by shame and speechless when a stubborn boy of 17years veered off the old during the punitive farm expedition to block his bike and gone berserk.
"You berk why the stupid blockade?"he interrogated the child hoodlum
"Shut up"
"Get off my way"After a dirty slap they struggled with each other brawled with one leg on ground another on the bike.
"Get off the bike"
"Leave me alone"retorted David
"Gregory are you stupid"Mark broke a truce.
"No sir he was trying to abscond and elude punishment."
"Cool down and leave him to me.Face your penal busybody and leave him alone.Am coming ,wait,dont take his bike.Calm down"
"Oh boy why did you come late today?"
"Sir I biked seven kilometers everyday ,it's quite tedious sir."
"No complaint okay.You ll face the music .If you pass my punitive test you ll go free but don't try to be late again.Now look at those trees and tell me their name or the fruits they produce.Look carefully at the last six trees to the east and tell me  their names?"
 Ah"
"What is ah?"
"I don't know sir"
"You mean you don't know?what?Boy come and take his bicycle.?"as the humdug of boy ,beat sands at his foot and moved closer.
"Please dont  do that anathema? They belong to the rich berries fruits family."
"Interesting".
"Uhmm..............."Gregory grouched turning blind eyes as he collected back the bike from now withdrawn siege of the ruffled boy.
"Now tell me their types .You know we have several types of berries or its fruit types."
"The first one in the east  near the streams that flows from Hudson River .I think they re called blackberries."The suspense elongated with morose cadence,fear and trembling ferociously gripped the exhausted boys from behind as they stretched up their line ."Fantastic and try others too,do you know their names"
He readjusted his shirt and legs and said"the second line is froth gooseberries "they caught dread again as if to grin like a ceshire cat when Mark said "Gooseberries exactly!Give him a round of applause please."As they clapped in dread after facing four hours of painful interrogative sessions with none of them able to exert a pull of gravity against farmkeeper's wild looking and long hungry cane randomly shaken across their own direction.
"And the last three?"
"I can tell you all of them ten trees not just the last six trees."
"Jesus, stupid boys see your life lazy sloths."
"The fourth Olive, fifth a bunch of grapes,sixth black currants, seventh Raspberries, eight Cranberries, ninth Cherries and last Lyhees.You know they have adjoining trees at the naked back.
They include elderberries, strawberries,dates and figs."Then he paused and the clappings still persisted until the farmkeeper's rage held the gusto to a halt.
"It's okay,stop the clappings."
"Where are you living?"
"I live in the farms too.My father owns a deadwood and I grew up in the wild with him."he spoke with audacity.
"Okay,son of a farmer.I promised to let you go but see me in my office earnest tomorrow.You re exceptional."he patted him on the back and still applauded amidst dreaded ovation boyish humdug in most cases head bowed.
"Thank you sir.i ll try."gestured with nodded head and doffed school hat,resit on the bike and pedaled away ecstazy to the multiple baffling bewilders of stunned mates groaning still in the vicious sun.
He barely reported to his father's on getting home at the normal routine in the forest promenade.
"Could you believe while Hamilton was away in America his father James was sinking into deep poverty?"
"How?Becos they also have some rich people"
"That effect was not forthcoming.As he sailed toward world changing oddyseys in spectacular more,his patriarch's status not only nosedived into abject redistributive Poverty.He never survived it besides the occasional stipends he got from his son  who supported him financially in his later years.James Hamilton died in 1799 in St.Vincent in the British west Indies."
"Yeah that was quite unfortunate.Your influence on me was intellectual what kind of influence did he have on him?"
"Not really intellectual but much more an egalitarian influence.He was the only egalitarian economist the ever had"
"So he didn't make himself rich?"
"Yeah!He created platform for others to enjoy financial success and Never avail himself of the same opportunities.He pioneered capitalism in America and yet he died left behind mountain of debt inherited by his wife Eliza."
"Dad that was quite self defeating"
"Perhaps he followed his father's philosophy and the pragmatism of his mother."
"They said he was black"
"People who said so are not out of their minds.Only a fool could discountenance the product of such Intelligence."
"Why dad?"
"Don't try to believe white people .We l treat it later but let quickly add :the surest proof was that he was bastard,the child of camp girl which was a status that could be associated with black whore.That besides to better proof his African ancestry his older brother James by same blood was of dark complexion with dark hair.Listen when James Hamilton jnr something Chernow my well respected white historian omitted from his book or at best was silent about, migrated to America,he was treated like a negro formerly refused on Broadway coach due to his color.How come Hamilton was not black? Alexander Hamilton 's ancestry papers were burnt after his death including poetry papers.This was purposely done to hide his alleged African strain ."
"Lies everywhere.He was brutally murdered"
"That is where a rational mind should think if indeed the could think.Can you imagine the second most popular man in america was murdered just like that and the murderer  received no punishment."
"It is strange your must be right dad.Why the murder?
"Why would someone just murdered a public figure and enjoyed immunity?Aaron Burr vice president murdered him in a same duel that earlier killed his son.He claimed Hamilton stood in his way towards becoming the president."
"How?"
It was the election of 1800 in which both Jefferson and Burr competed and there was no clear.But Hamilton American foremost political umpire ruled in favour of Jefferson his worst enemy.That was the worst verdict by a public figure in American history that later caused the end of the life of decision taker.How can you vote in favor of your sworn enemy? Both of them are not his friend.He could stayed neutral and lived much longer.Burr was enraged for the support he gave to Jefferson as better informed and highly experienced Public figure.He later challenged him to a duel.Concerning his ancestry we can refer to least and earliest known portrait drawn from Life by Pearle .It reflects Hamilton's portrait the skin color nose and wooly hair.
Later portraits that we see today were caucasianised gave him European nose,thinner lips,light complexion and straight hair.Have you not heard that the great great great grandmother of Queen Elizabeth 11 Queen Charlotte of England was a mulatto or a mongrel?So what is bad for him being so because his mother was mullato too.
You know to come from. Carribean you re likely going to be black.
