Alexander Hamilton - He was the architect of our economic system and I believe he developed the concept of the corporation. He layed [sic] the basis for the American system of free enterprise and capitalism.

Unless you were a farmer in a southern state, or advocated resistance to British heavy-handed tactics against your merchant ships, or you were against a federal bank.
Is it any wonder Thomas Jefferson mistrusted and despised this guy?

Jefferson? Great guy, except if you were Black, or a slave, or a Revolutionary soldier who wondered where his governor had run off to, or a Frenchman who got his head cut off by the revolutionaries he loved, or a merchant or sailor who wanted to make a living during the embargo, or if you were in favor of a national bank.

Is it any wonder that Hamilton and Adams mistrusted and dispised this guy?

Not that Jefferson was as bad as his opponents said, but it cuts both ways.
