Burr:How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Caribbean, by providence, impoverished, in squalor,
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar? John Laurens/Phillip Hamilton:The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter.
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up. Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of.
