Beautifully stated. “The bastard son of a Scottish peddlar” (the way Adams and others referred to him) was always the smartest guy in the room (yes—even when Jefferson was there). He was battlefield-brave beyond what might be expected of even the courageous; his centralized government power was that of 18th century newborn America, and should not be confused with the big government monstrosities of the 20th century and present time.
Jefferson was a Democrat; Hamilton was a conservative as translated into the present.
Alexander Hamilton could not.
