Award-winning author Teri Kanefield’s biography of Alexander Hamilton for young readers is the first in the Making of America series.
The America that Alexander Hamilton knew was largely agricultural and built on slave labor. He envisioned something else: a multi-racial, urbanized, capitalistic America with a strong central government. He believed that such an America would be a land of opportunity for the poor and the newcomers. But Hamilton’s vision put him at odds with his archrivals who envisioned a pastoral America of small towns, where governments were local, states would control their own destiny, and the federal government would remain small and weak.
The disputes that arose during America’s first decades continued through American history to our present day. Over time, because of the systems Hamilton set up and the ideas he left, his vision won out. Here is the story that epitomizes the American dream—a poor immigrant who made good in America. In the end, Hamilton rose from poverty through his intelligence and ability, and did more to shape our country than any of his contemporaries.

About the Series
The Making of America series traces the constitutional history of the United States through overlapping biographies of American men and women. The debates that raged when our nation was founded have been argued ever since: How should the Constitution be interpreted? What is the meaning, and where are the limits of personal liberty? What is the proper role of the federal government? Who should be included in “we the people”? Each biography in the series tells the story of an American leader who helped shape the United States of today.

Fixed my aches, real improvement in sleep
Size: Queen
It actually does make my bed feel better.
I was skeptical, but decided to try it because our mattress isnt very old but I wake up with aches in my hips/lower back. When I got it, I thought no way this works. But it does.
It goes in like a fitted sheet, super easy to put on. And I honestly havent woken up with hip or lower back aches since using it. Had it on our bed for about 2 months now.
I read some people say they sleep hotter with it, but I havent noticed that at all. Temperature feels the same as without it.
So glad I tried this before spending money on a mew mattress!

Best Mattress Pad!
Size: Queen
This is the best mattress pad you are going to find anywhere and the price is actually a bargain compared to all the other mattress pads I saw in the stores or online. Thought I needed a new mattress but all I needed was this comfy cover.

Soft, comfortable and really nice.
Size: Full
This product is of really nice material. It's soft and comfortable, deep pockets and fits my bed perfectly. It's a great product, however, if you're looking for something for back support, this isn't it. It isn't for me anyway - there's no firmness to this topper at all but it is very comfortable.

COMFORTABLE AND WORTH THE MONEY
Size: Queen
Excellent mattress topper. Its thick and paired with my matress provides a high end hotel feel. I have had it for a few months and it has not lost its shape and stays in place. Worth the money. You are definitely getting what you paid for.
