Headcanon: James’ grandfather was his hometown’s preacher. James and his grandpa were pretty close growing up, but he would constantly warn James about the consequences of ‘going against the bible’ ((practicing magic)) James said whatever and kept doing his thing. He didn’t think God would punish him because he wasn’t hurting anyone or ever planned to hurt anyone with it… in a way James was right. It wasn’t God that had punished him for it… It was the people of his town that did.

James Alexander Hamilton was born in New York, April 14, 1788, the third son of Alexander (1755-1804) and Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. After graduating from Columbia College in 1805, he studied for the law, earning admittance to the New York bar in 1809. In the following year, Hamilton established a law practice in Hudson, New York, and in October, 1810, married Mary, the daughter of Robert Morris and granddaughter of former New York Chief Justice, Richard Morris. Following military service in the War of 1812, Hamilton returned to private law practice with vigor. An easy-mannered, slick-talking and ambitious man, he jockeyed for political position, slowly working his way into the most influential Democratic circles of the day, developing a particularly close professional relationship with Martin Van Buren. For several years, Hamilton co-published the New York American, a newspaper reflecting Clintonian Democrat sympathies. As part of Andrew Jackson's "so-called Appointing Council" in 1829, he helped to secure Martin Van Buren's appointment as Secretary of State, but soon had a falling out with the administration. Although he had had a hand in choosing Jackson's cabinet, he became its most caustic critic, later calling it "the most unintellectual and uneducated cabinet we ever had." Nevertheless, over Van Buren's protests, Jackson appointed Hamilton as District Attorney for the Southern District of New York, an office which he resigned in 1833. A staunch defender of his father's conservative fiscal policies, Hamilton prepared a plan for a bank operated by the Treasury Department. Although Jackson had requested the plan, it was never adopted. The demise of the Bank of the United States and the Panic of 1837 changed Hamilton's political leanings, and in 1840 he supported Harrison, and from that time forward, was identified with the Whig and, later, the Republican Parties. Although he withdrew from direct political activity after 1833, Hamilton continued to act as informal adviser to many politicians. An ardent nationalist, he disapproved of abolition on the grounds that the Constitution protected slavery. At every war between 1833 and 1861 he offered his services to his country, even urging emancipation as a military measure during the Civil War. He published several pamphlets during his lifetime and a lengthy autobiography appeared in 1869. Hamilton died in New York City at the age of ninety on September 24, 1878.
