Hercules was admitted to Kings College (now Columbia University). His political thought is developed here. In 1773, he opened the door and saw that the elder brother was standing with a boy. He or she will fall in Kings College. In this way, he met Alexander Hamilton, and they became two friends gradually. It is clear within a few years that how many of these friendships could be a major political event.

Hamilton was in support of the English colony. Prior to joining King's College, William Livingstone (one of the signatories to the American Constitution) began to take lessons in patriotism for many more. King College talked about this with the Hercules in the night. Hamilton was so much influenced by the country's independence that he joined the 'Sun's Liberty' only at the age of 18. At the time, he wrote a letter written in writing, that the letter was considered one of the thousands of letters accelerating the revolution.

Revolution started in April 1775 after losing to Washington in Long Island. Hercules wanted to leave New York, was running away. Caught on the second day, he was captured and brought back to New York. Reluctantly started the business of tailoring back. Who knows, God thought that was the way. One day General Washington said in a discussion with Hamilton, they need to spy. A spy that lives in New York City. Hamilton then speaks of his old friend Hercules, who is also at the patriotism and New York. Hercules were not able to join the revolution on the other side. How do you miss that opportunity? Glad to agree to put on the life. Since that day Hercules' work was chosen to make clothes for big officers.

Hercules had its own style of working. He knew that no one would tell him directly, "Hercules is listening to the brother, tomorrow you are going to kill such a leader, then you will conduct an operation in the place." He had to find out the head and the information. The soldiers were seen to be dressed one after the other. Hercules wanted to know when to wear their clothes. When everyone used to say a date, Hercules understood that some day it was going to be happening, warns the revolutionaries.

He used to work with him. Kaito was sent to New Jersey in Washington Hercules used to share stories with his customers. They also used to tell the news of their stomach. In fact, a tailor is not able to retire to be more horrific. Using this opportunity, George Washington saved his life from Hercules.

One night, an officer asked to fix his quota in his shop. Hercules orders his staff to act quickly and earnestly. Then ask the officer to fix the quote in such a deep night, and the reasons behind his excitement. Officer proudly said, that day they are going to catch George Washington. Hercules in front of him in front of the heart greeted Hercules. She left the officer's shop and sent it to Keaton. The English knew where Washington would meet with his revolutionaries. Washington survived on information given by Hercules.

Two years later in February 1781, Sir Henry Clinton confirmed that Washington will go to Connecticut's waterway for a specific time. He decorated a fleet of 300 soldiers for the day, as if he could stop Washington from the water. Fortunately, the responsibility of the soldiers to supply boat to boat was the big brother of Hercules. He tells Hercules all. By sending the news with Hercules Keito, Washington also saved Washington from the defeat.

However, it was not easy to get away with all these tricks, Hercules and Keito Even if they could not find evidence against them, it would have been doubtful. On reaching the news to Washington, one day that was caught by Katoway, he was beaten up to get the truth. Due to suspicion, both of them had to be put in jail.

The days of the war were cut in Hercules' anxiety. The Hercules spy's identity did not know most patriotic Americans. To them, Hercules is a slave of opportunistic Englishmen, who have betrayed their own people, in a row, Razakars. At that time the Americans were harassing such people. Hercules also did not expect exceptions. But Washington has not forgotten the friend of the danger. He understood the dangers of Hercules. The first thing that he did at the end of the parade was to go to Hercules' house and eat breakfast in the morning. At the end of the meal, he went to the store to buy quotes as well. At the time of the war, America was no longer suspicious about Hercules's side. After becoming President, Washington made his clothes from all Irish tailor Hercules. To change the name of this unprecedented honor, Volleeni Hercules, in a big way outside the store, wrote, "General Washington's tailor".
