Hamilton was born on an island called Nevis, in the West Indies, but he spent most of his early life in Christiansted, the main city of St. Croix. St. Croix was one of the wealthiest islands in the West Indies, probably because it played an important role in the triangular trade route, exchanging slaves, rum, and sugar.
