Hamilton was an insidious traitor who did everything he could to undermine the power of the new Constitution. He fought the limitation of the power of the federal government, he fought against the creation of the Bill of Rights, and he fought against staying debt-free. He was a subversive monarchist, and he did incredible damage to our country literally at the moment it was being born. And he did it with thoroughly modern spin techniques - every shred of his efforts was done in the name of freedom (a tactic that continues to allow his name to be protected today). Because of this he was literally reviled by some of the other Founders, and has continued to be reviled by many through history, up to and including today. In fact, he can be directly blamed for establishing the philosophical underpinnings of the legalisms which enable all federal overreaching, as well as the creation of the Federal Reserve. Burr was a hero.
/rant (but I’m not apologizing for it - he was a bastard in more ways than mere birth)
