It’s easier to hate Jefferson for running away while Virginia governor instead of organizing the militia to repel the British during the War for Independence. Or for 8 years of boycotts that trashed the economy. Or for dragging out the 1st American-Muslim War.
Or you could love him for eliminating all internal taxes and keeping us out of war with the British.
Like an earlier post said, Jefferson was a mass of contradictions.
His words on freedom and liberty and opposing tyranny are words to live by. Even setting aside his ownership of slaves, it’s clear that his agrarian mindset was rooted in a desire to keep society static, limiting movement between the classes and restricting the ability of members of the lower classes to ascend into the socio-political elite.
Hamilton, on the other hand, was a huge fan and proponant of such mobility, seeing capital as the means to effect it.
