while all his friends had been president...

Hamilton as a federalist was despised by Jefferson, a republican (not in today's sense). He was also highly suspect by Adams for different reasons. Washington was somewhat behind him, or perhaps just that Hamilton was better able to manipulate the aging Washington.

Highly appropriate inasmuch as Hamilton was strong for a CENTRAL BANK here (which was eventually thrown out) and would have been a big fan of our current INFLATION GENERATOR (inflation=unwarranted expansion of money and credit), the FEDERAL RESERVE.

The FED has enabled the politicians to make virtual wards of the state at least 4 generations of welfare recipients, many of whom live in places like Harlem.

They should have burned that prot-fascist’s house to the ground.

It is completely absurd to claim the Hamilton designed the banking system the US currently uses. It's an attempt to make imbue a relatively new system with the same legitimacy that the Constitution and Bill of Rights enjoy.

The specific rules in the Constitution for banking is that coins be made of gold and silver. Those rules are obviously not followed, though they have never been rescinded.

The current Federal Reserve bank was created in 1913 in a secret meeting of big New York bankers with a few foreign bankers representatives in attendance at a private island in Georgia. It was certainly not created by Alexander Hamilton.

When he built Hamilton Grange in 1802 for his family, what he called his "sweet project" was a 33-acre country estate at the highest point of upper Manhattan, with sweeping views of the Hudson and Harlem rivers. The home was designed by architect John McComb Jr., who also created New York's City Hall.
