Hamilton became a clerk and as he grew older his genius was known around the town for he had written several letters and verses for his local newspaper. He later chose to escape his futile life and move to New York, where he would begin his political and military training. At age seventeen, he began attending King 's college, and later Columbia University in 1773 during which he became a exuberant supporter of colonial independence. His backing for frontier freedom turned into the beginning stage of his contribution in governmental issues, since it motivated him to compose pamphlets against Britain. Hamilton then took his writing a stride further, when he composed a full Vindication of Measures of congress, that defended the exercises of congress in declining to deal with England.
