With Rothschild financing, Alexander Hamilton founded two New York banks, including Bank of New York. [5]
He died in a gun battle with Aaron Burr, who founded Bank of Manhattan with Kuhn Loeb financing.
Hamilton exemplified the contempt which the Eight Families hold towards common people, once stating,
"All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and the well born, the others the mass of the people... The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge and determine right. Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share of government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second." [6]
Hamilton was only the first in a series of Eight Families relatives to hold the key position of Treasury Secretary.
