To accept Hamilton as any authority is to deny the founding of a free state, and to accept the path set out for the monarchy’s continued control.
That is the essence of this devious man.
That is the essence of this devious man."
YES!
Hamilton’s role in the Founding and establishment of the nation was exceeded only by Washington who made him a critical ally. There was a reason that H was W’s chief aide throughout the Revolution, almost an alter ego. Read a book and discover why.
No one would have been acceptable to W who was “devious” when someone complained about H’s ambition he said that was true but it was the kind of ambition that was productive of good. Slandering the achievements of H has been consistent for 200 yrs and is the result of the lies and distortions of the Jeffersonians
For his treatment of one who was devious, see W’s treatment of TJ after his attempt to undermine the Administration.
There was no greater patriot than Alexander the Great nor was there a more far-sighted statesman than H nor one who understood the meaning of true freedom. Almost his entire life was fighting for the Union and he was critical in its founding. His truly devious enemy TJ respected him so much that he called him “a Host within himself.”
Apparently you know nothing of H if deviousness is your complaint. I can suggest many books which will allow you to understand the achievements of this remarkable man not the least of which was being the greatest political philosopher of the Western Hemisphere as the Federalist showed.
