...He had a little more respect for Madison but not enough to use his Farewell Address which is clearly directed (if you would care to read it) at the Jefferson/Madison policies.LOL, Oh, please. I have already addressed your nonsense about Madison's contributions to Washington's farewell address in post # 810. If you would just read it, you'll see that the address applies just as much to the pro-British policies of Hamilton, a fact your revisionist Hamiltonian "historians" have conveniently failed to mention.
It is simply a FACT that Washington regarded no man higher than Hamilton. Upon his death Hamilton lamented that Washington had been an "aegis" for him. A shield, a protection.
LOL, he was bemoaning the fact that he couldn't use Washington anymore to further his personal political ambitions and partisan back-stabbing. He was on his own.
Even as early as 1780 there were those claiming Washington was a captive of his aides (meaning Hamilton.)
Hamilton's selfish manipulations were obvious to many.
Your addressed nothing in the attempted falsehood about Madison's draft. It was rejected and re-written by Hamilton. There is no credible historian who claims otherwise. Who are these "revisionist historians" the DS brigade are always babbling about? Any one with a degree from a major university?
Hamilton's policy was NOT pro-British, that is a LIE, he was TOTALLY pro-American and that dictated ALL his policies. His policy WAS to maintain neutrality between France and England primarily because the success of his financial system depended upon peace with England. This was why he prevented Jefferson and Madison from imposing constraints and barriers to trade from England.
Why do you think the DemocRAT-Republicans were so dead set AGAINST declaring a policy of neutrality unless they wanted intervention on the side of the French? Hamilton desperately struggled to avoid war with either party even when many Federalists were clamoring for war with the French. He understood that war would mean disaster for the US.
It is foolish to think that Hamilton would be warning (through Washington) against himself. And false. There was never ANY agitation to ally with Britain against France so such a warning was totally unnecessary. The FA address was directly pointed at the D-R Francophiles.
It is still a fact that Washington regarded no man higher than Alexander Hamilton, like it or not.
Care to list any such manipulations? I am not going to be holding my breath waiting for THAT nonsense.
