Alexander Hamilton needs to be taught as a more pivotal figure in our country's history. One word that describes his entire body of work is: prescience. As early as the age of 20 he was clearly describing our United States well before they formed and even before the first shot rang of the Revolutionary War. Economics, politics, society, nothing was outside his prescience. Finally, his republican sensibilities make him a perfect candidate for study in our world today.
Oh, and his writings are wonderful to behold. Perhaps one of the most important documents ever written in U.S. History:
