Philip Hamilton was a very intelligent young boy. He was the son of the intelligent Treasury, Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler, daughter of wealthy Senate Philip Schuyler. Philip Hamilton had curly hair, dark eyes and dressed similarly to his father as he admires him.

Philip turned 19 in 1801, a few years later after his father wrote 'The Reynolds Pamplet', confessing his affair in 1797. Philip knew his mother never got over the ordeal with his father.

By November, Philip heard speeches from a man named George Eacker. Calling his father a scoundrel and disrespecting Alexander's legacy in front of a crowd. He couldn't take the slander towards the father he adored even if Alexander made many mistakes.

Later on during the day, Philip finally met with Eacker and confronted him to a duel which Eacker accepted. Philip felt nervous inside and went home to his father, wanting to ask for advice as it was his very first duel.

Alexander was shocked that Philip chose that decision, thinking internally when he used to work for Washington. Alexander managed to convince Philip to call off the duel and it was never mentioned. Philip felt his nerves go away and smiled with his father, not seeing his mother afar.
