What?! Hamilton, a slave owner?
Evidence suggests that Hamilton was himself a slave owner. Hamilton’s grandson, historian Allan McLane Hamilton, agrees with this assessment. As the younger Hamilton wrote in 1910, “It has been stated that Hamilton never owned a negro slave, but this is untrue. We find that in his books there are entries showing that he purchased them for himself and for others.”
In 1784 Hamilton sold a slave named Peggy for £90 to a New York physician named Malachi Treat, whose office was at 18 Little Queen Street.
According to Hamilton’s own expense book, he bought “2 negro servants” for himself from N. Low for $250 in 1796. Hamilton’s grandson cites this as proof of Hamilton’s slave ownership.
