Answer: D - Alexander Hamilton You may not recall the names John Tyler, Chester Arthur, or Millard Fillmore, but all three of these men served as President of the United States. Alexander Hamilton, on the other hand, was never president. Hamilton was however, a Founding Father of the United States, the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard, and the New York Post. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton was also the primary author of the economic policies of the George Washington administration.
