I’m with you on this one.
Hamilton was highly concerned that the American Revolution would disintegrate in exactly the way the French Revolution did, and he fought to keep it from happening. He seems, so far, to have been successful.
Hamilton was the original “America is a Republic not a Democracy” guy. Why so many who claim to his position despise him is a mystery to me.
Education in public schools could be the cause.
I myself used to think highly of Hamilton, because of what I'd been taught in school, plus Burr's reputation as a scoundrel which was well-documented on teevee and elsewhere.
Little did I know, then, that Hamilton was not quite in the tradition of other founders. Like, he might have been the original elitist, a member of "the ruling class" recently brought to the public's attention by Dr. Angelo Codevilla in his magnificent book.
You may want to browse (or buy) this recent critique of Hamilton for a contrarian view of one of the most misunderstood men of the nation's founding. It could change your opinion of him.
He may have died young, but his vision of government did not die with him.
