Alexander Hamilton's zeal and abilities as a member of the militia brought him to the attention of George Washington, who gave him a commission and named him aide-de-camp. After four years, he was given a field command to lead a regiment of New York troops at the Battle of Yorktown.

Hamilton married Elizabeth Schuyler, daughter of the influential Gen. Philip Schuyler, which placed Hamilton at the center of New York society. Soon after leaving the army in 1782, he was admitted to legal practice and became assistant to Robert Morris, state superintendent of finance. Elected to the Continental Congress that year, he quickly became a leading proponent of a stronger national government that was provided for in the Articles of Confederation.note : all stamps shipped asap and/or with in 7 day close of auction.
