Alexander Hamilton

By Lila B.

      Hamilton was an interesting man who did many things. He authored the federal papers, and he joined the revolutionary war. And if your like “Alex who?” you’re in luck because I can tell you! First, his family, from when he was born to when his cousin committed suicide. Historians still are not sure if Hamiliton was born in 1755 or 1757, though the most reasonable is 1755. His mother was listed white on tax rolls, but she may have been mixed race and colored. His father left and his mother died of yellow fever leaving him orphaned. He moved in with his cousin, but his cousin committed suicide. He got an education and joined the revolution he was Washington's right-hand man in the war, he was a great lieutenant. He once led a successful raid of the British cannons in the battery. He lived a short life dying at 42 years old. Aron burr killed him in a duel at the exact same place his son died four years later.  

In conclusion Alexander Hamilton is a fascinating man and I got inspiration from the Hamiliton play.

At one-point George's half-brother Lawrence died in militia Goerge replaced him  

Country life  

After the French and Indian war which didn’t go so well Goerge went back to mount Vernon and married Martha custus at one-point George and Martha owned as many as 300 slaves, later in life he realized slavery was wrong. 

In his farming life George stopped growing tobacco and switched to wheat because it was easier to grow, when the English taxed the tea George switched to coffee.

Later George was a general in the military during the revolutionary war the conditions were so bad more people died from smallpox than battle wounds. After George won the war, he was going to go back to be a farmer. 

Because of his fame in war George won both elections for president both times John Adams got in second both times as president he set the example of only serving 2 terms, he made sure he didn’t get to powerful.

Benjamin Franklin

Ben Franklin

By Quinn
Hello my friends welcome to my presentation on Ben franklin if your wondering why I chose ben then I have an answer I chose ben franklin me and I want to become an inventor when I grow up. I think in my personal opinion Ben Franklin is awesome so I hope you enjoy!!!
Franklin's jobs of disappointment and, extreme hardness
Franklin was born on January 17,1706 in Bostin. witch is kind of cool because January 17 is near martin Luther king day... ok back to the presentation. Ben franklin was a writer a printer a scientist and an inventor a lot of people know more about his inventor job.
He was printer and a writer near his teenage years. And he was an inventor in his old adult years he invented the kite but he didn’t do it for a kids toy. Here ill tell you the story so people thought that thunder was a sign of god being angry but Franklin knew it was electricity so he told everyone about it but no one believed him so he decided to prove it. He created the kite but, before he was done he put two little metal things on the top of the kite and the bottom of the kite the so when the thunder struck the kite it would send a wave of electricity through the kite down the string it would electrocute him witch is really smart... but not at the same time... so he did that and proved that it was just electricity. I just love that story because he almost killed himself to prove that lighting is electricity and then after almost killing himself he creates the lightning rod like in my head imlike how crazy is this guy like that is just awesomely stupid...
Well that’s all I have for today thank you for listening to my presentation.
