You really really need to go a read a book on Alexander Hamilton! Hamilton was NOT a Monarchist!
Read the one by Forrest McDonald. I like you believed all the “pop American history” I was taught in secondary school which put a halo on Jefferson & horns on Hamilton. If you read McDonald's book and read accounts of Washington's administration Jefferson doesn’t come out all that admirable. Hamilton comes out of that story a tragic (and flawed!) hero.

You are correct abut Jefferson. As SoS he stabbed Washington in the back re France.
