The American Monarchy

Washington adopts Hamilton, perhaps?  The former was always a father-like figure for the latter to the point it was even rumored Washington was Hamilton's true father.

Having a war break out between New York and Vermont seems, indeed, one of the only feasible ways for this to happen as there is absolutely no way New York consents to a monarchy without some motives of self-interest.  Pennsylvannia is somewhat believable with Morris' influence but George Clinton (and Aaron Burr, to a lesser degree) would keep New York against a monarchy unless overwhelmed.

How did that get started? It's a pretty well documented fact that he was born in the Caribbean, I mean he didn't even come to the North American colonies until he was 18.

Indeed, but Washington is recorded as being in the Carribean around the time Hamilton was born.

EDIT: After researching this I've found that Washington visited Barbados whenever Hamilton's mother was there, in fact

I would like to see Hamilton to reassume the military mantel in this upcomming war.  He always dreamed of martial glory.
