Best Answer

Alexander Hamilton was born into a poor family as the son of a maid. His father; however, was a wealthy plantation owner who eventually decided to send Hamilton to the best schools possible. Hamilton was very smart, and quickly made himself a fortune. He was born poor and died rich, in other words.
