St. Croix

In 1767, Alex Hamilton lived with his mother and brother in Christiansted, a grid of streets near the harbor. He was illegitimate, and was subject to scorn because of that, sometimes called an “obscene child” by people in his town.

In modern day Christiansted, there are monuments to Hamilton, and streets that bear his name. So, they’re proud of him now, I guess.
