Bridge: After my research, I have learnt that Alexander Hamilton has greatly aided America, not just be friends with famous politicians. He greatly deserves his musical, because he also created the U.S Coast Guard. I learnt about him, by watching a few videos about him, and also listening to the musical, before researching the facts to see if they are true. The research has prompted further questions, and one of those is: Does he have any living descendants, and if so, do they live life with the same mentality as Hamilton, and what have they done with their lives?
