HAMILTONIAN AMERICA.part 5

You said in the previous episode Hamilton's voyage the charred vessel landed at boston harbor intact?"food like barbecues,suya,assorted wine like burgundy decorated the dining of the two worrisome hungriots as they banter intermitently"of course you know not without hazard and technical glitch""like seriously cant imagine that?""a minor hazard during the three week voyage when the ship caught fire crew members extinguished the blaze as they bled down ropes into the sea and with buckets scooped up seawater to quell the inferno."spoonfed thereafter with head bowed closer to the mountainous dishes"uhmm world greatest expedition at risk.Had alexander died in that biggest trip ever made by mankind,world biggest civilisation america may not have been born and something worst may have taken the place of thirteen colonies and the world risk thousands of years again to discover elite thinker of that magnitude"he gesticulated after dropping the burgundy."uhmmm,with this richest comment of yours best ever made in


the hocupocus of world greatest historical dialogue,i m flattered to the bone marrow and greatly jealous you.you have big eyes for golden remarks self absorbed from historical expository perception."gobsmacked dried his cheeks with table towel."practically none did that chemistry that sort of cunningly bonded us"you properly understood that.You know since the geocentric lie of aristotle was told and foisted on mankind uncontested due to dearth of strategic thinkers,it took two thousand years after prior to great discovery of copernican,gallilean and newtonian theory of heliocentrism to fit the fiddle seriously capable enough to arrest this sting of falsehood"."exactly that's the point 20centuries unopposed two third the age of old egyptian kingdom or china."i saw where you wrote in your library the money donated for the travel.""we talk about the subscription fund that funded the trip.From the harbor he proceeded immediately straight away to new york where he picked up his allowance at korthright and company




The company managed the subscription fund that funded his education.it owned seven vessels between new york and west indies and as St.Croix representatives it employed kothright and Cruger.The fund is charged on the proceeds of sugar barrels sent from St.Croix and some percentage was taken to fund the education of future first secretary of treasury of the unborn america and abolitionist."you mean wealth of slavery financed the future abolitionist?""exactly it was the booming trade at the time and even when cotton trade equally boomed and southern farmers neglected the temptation to stop slavery grew their holdings instead to take advantage of the boom even after missouri compromise.""missouri comprise?"yea,anyway he was considerate enough to realise that with golden empathy shown when he partly contributed to the establishment of new york manumission society.so the fund was insure by sugar cane plantation income."how did he blend so easily into the new clime?"adjusted himself on the chair and sipping glass.




"That pretty happens so easily.You know he was armed with henry knox's introductory letters and knew no soul besides edward steven when he came to new york.With the audacity of hope beating chest assertively mated with the magnetic power of discretic as an esoteric journey man blended so easily.He soon made his first friend and saving his sanity."paused to masticate a stick of barbecue."if i may ask who could that be?"hercules mulligan who was a brother to the junior partner at kothright and company an irish born at home in 1740 with undiluted irish accent.mulligan a loquacious son of liberty was one of the few trademen that shared true spirit of brotherhood with hamilton.""was he a lawyer?"no a tailor by proffesion had a shop and a home on water street and he took the full honour to introduce him into the new york society.They often discuss every evening with his family.Mulligan was a strong patriot as one of liberty boys fought the british soldiers on Golden hill or John street wherethe revolutionary


patriots were murdered by british troops and that took place six weeks prior to Boston massacre of 1770.Later he was involved in freelance espionage for George washington during the wartime occupation of new york.you still enjoy the dishes?"oh am done.Let's move to the pool"they took the kitchen door passageway enroute the poolside leaving the waiter with the remainder,who moved closer"are u done""yea?"what about the drinks?"oh no we're done and we ll be sitting at the poolside"."you make reference to knox letters"as they moved closer and sat on a stretch of chairs lined up for the fun seekers.The hotel's ambience was tacit and a bevy of fun seekers flooded the pool,pooling,dancing and eating."quite abit noisy here.where do we go?Are you comfortable?""quite okay"not raptured by funfare adjoining riveries and divertisemento fully engrossed in the conversation."you know knox had a couple of mentors in new york two of the most respected prebysterian clergies and one of them Dr.John Rodgers.A lanky figure



trudged in grandiose writ down wall street enroute church wielded fiery cane in the face of awe struck well wishers.This included Rev.John Mason whose scion later attempted to author the failed hamilton's biography and they both came to his aid.He use the same letters to study at a preparatory school elizabethan academy located at the hudson river where he mastered latin,greek and math to qualify for college."yea in new jeysey today known as elizabeth"you know it was charteredby king george 2"the oldest english community in the colony located across the elizabeth river""exactly!the academy had francis barber a college of new jeysey alumni as headmaster was located on the church's land."i think they call it princeton now."yea.Barber in a surprising twist of fate laterfound himself at yorktown under command of his old pupil when they fought as revolutionary patriots.""funny" the school was a feedstock to princetown.pundits say he must have met Aaron burr his final executioner at the school.""attended same



Same school?"yea several years earlier.infact history has it he spent the summer of 1773 in elizabethtown when hamilton arrived."what an extraordinary and melodramatic coincidence"you re hot guy that's exactly how one famous author put it.Tapping Reeve sat on the board of visitors at that school"."who is that?"brother in law to burr and a jurist.probably they also met in drawing room for mutual friends besides playing the town red,islets and around local river with committee of well wishers.And because he was good at impressing older and influential men within a short period became a popular figure with established names at record speed crossed indivisible divide with artless ease.Thanks to hugh knox letters he had instant access to powerful men in new jeysey.""seriously like who and who?"curious a notch."luminaries in the whig trade like william livingston and elias boudinot as elites of prebysterian world and they exposed him to the rich politicaltradition of american society.Livingstone was of particular
