In the context of 1787 nationalists were those desiring a stronger national government they were essentially synonymous with "federalists." In the more common meaning a nationalist merely means one who is devoted to protecting the interests of a particular nation. ALL the founders and Jefferson were most definitely "nationalist" from that definition. Just for laughs what do YOU think a "nationalist" was?

Washington was Hamilton's greatest advocate in EVERY area, including economics and finance. He treated Hamilton with all the indulgence he would have shown his son. What lamebrained idea did you stumble over that claims anything else?

The term "nationalist" as I have used it, has consistently been used to describe those who were also referred to as "consolidationists". You already knew that, I made that clear hundreds of posts ago. Your use of the word has varied from one end of the spectrum to the other and has even stretched so far as to include abolitionism.

Actually, I found it in the same place most of your information seems to come from, a monkey's butt. I just posted it to aggravate you, because I don't believe for a second you believe half of what you've posted. No one is that schizo/stupid. As I said a long time ago, I think you post crap just to try and get a rise out of people. As to your main point above, Washington did agree with Hamilton to a degree on very many issues, but not always, as Hamiltonian zealots would have us think.
