Abstract

The connection between Hamilton and Judaism is traced to his mother Rachel Faucette's marriage to Johan Levine in St. Croix. Hamilton participated in establishing a government that condoned, supported, and promoted the theft of Native land and the buying and selling of human beings: the very antithesis of equality before the law. The two documented facts are that Rachel never gave up her married name and that Alexander Hamilton attended a Jewish school on Nevis. [Extracted from the article]
