"He was frustrated for lack of encouragement ,money and intellectual motivation,so he returned back to St.Croix where local prebysterian church employed him and pay him better stipends.
You Know an erudite man with classical education were not compatible for those assholes of fornicators , adulterers,sabath breakers and drunkard like his friends who he once neglected to study theology.
It was at St.Croix,a better civilised enclave that where he was morally revived to support the American Independence.He must have influenced Hamilton though owned several slaves for he opposed strict Calvinism , slavery and rehabilited slaves and campaigned for their adoption into civilised society.He eulogised intensely creative minds that created just system of fairness and truth.
He was credited for discovery of Hamilton and I could call him world greatest mentor.He marveled at such tremendous opportunity of spotting the world most hidden talent.He threw open his library to the young clerk and motivated him to scribble verses like a tireless geyser . With this early motivation, prompted him towards scholarship.He was much concerned about his knack for overwork and hyperindustrious minds .He wondered his achievement that his accomplishment even exceeded his expectations."
"That was wonderful".
"Knox versatility must have crept on Hamilton that made him carved that polymathic bent.He was self taught doctor, apothecary and part time journalist who offered support services to the editor of Royal Danish American Gazette.Sources had indicated they first met at paper office and not at the church .
The story of Alexander Hamilton's life was to Change when in the night of August 31,1772 ,a great hurricane blew across St.Croix decimated a vast swathe of the nearby islands .The damage trepidations rocked Nevis,St.Kitts and St.Croix like neighborhood Islands.North American colonies had to intervene with massive supplies to avert possible famine.He made a lasting impression on Hamilton "
"How?"
Because Knox gathered dying communities Christians knocked down by fear at the church and motivated them with pacifying homilies.In one of his exploits, Hamilton captured gory scenes with uncommon verbal powers and showed it to Knox who impressed him to publish it.It was published on October 3 and he wrote compellingly to the amusement of readers and wonderment and gusto thrilled the audience about the bloke who wrote profusely at a tender age of seventeen."
"Are you scaring me Dad ?"
"Your age mate of course.Your thesis should be better than because you live in a more civilised age.Is that clear?"
"I ll try my best".
"He wrote with poetic undertones in the famous letter :
"It seemed as if total dissolution of nature was taking place.'Then he continues,'The roaring of the sea and wind ,fiery meteors flying about it in the air ,the prodigious glare of almost perpetual lightning,the crash of the failing houses and the earpiercing shrieks of the distressed we're sufficient to strike astonishment into angels."
He called the hurricane Divine rebuke for the wealthy Human vanity and empty pride and enjoined them to lay up their treasure in heaven.Then he concluded the fire and brimstone homily:
"What is become of your arrogance and self sufficiency ? Death comes rushing on in triumph ,veiled in the mantle of tenfold darkness.His unrelenting scythe ,pointed and ready for the stroke.........See,thy wretched helpless state and learn to know thyself..........Despite thyself and adore thy God ....O ye which revel in affluence sees the afflictions of humanity and bestow your superfluity to ease them.....Succour the miserable and lay up thy treasure in heaven."
"Wonderful"
"With that piece he wrote himself out of Poverty.It generated so much sensation around him brought him instant fame.Infact the island Governor inquired about the youthful lad and a subscription fund was set up by local merchants to send to the boy to school in North America.Fortunately the same Hugh Knox was the chief sponsor of the funds.
