This never happened; it was a lie. Hamilton never suggested such a scheme. It was an invention of his enemies like accusations that he was involved in financial misdeeds while at Treasury. There were many lies thrown up against him by enemies frustrated by his political success at every turn.This is easily proven by a little investigation into his life. Hamilton never hid his views or worked secretly through others like Jefferson. He proclaimed his beliefs in public come Hell or high water. This was one of the reasons some disliked him.

I don't understand what the rest of your post was trying to get across. If it is claiming that the South did not fight the war because of slavery that is simply false. It fought entirely because of slavery and admitted it happily.

Hamilton, like Jackson and Lincoln and any other responsible president would have never allowed the Union to be destroyed and the constitution thrashed by N.E. or the Slaveocracy. But the N.Englanders were not so insane as to attack federal facilities and provoke a war. Nor did many Federalists support secession.

I refer you to Hamilton's speech to the Constitutional Convention

Particularly

I "The Supreme Legislative power of the United States of America to be vested in two different bodies of men; the one to be called the Assembly, the other the Senate who together shall form the Legislature of the United States with power to pass all laws whatsoever subject to the Negative hereafter mentioned.
II The Assembly to consist of persons elected by the people to serve for three years.
III. The Senate to consist of persons elected to serve during good behaviour; their election to be made by electors chosen for that purpose by the people: in order to this the States to be divided into election districts. On the death, removal or resignation of any Senator his place to be filled out of the district from which he came.
IV. The supreme Executive authority of the United States to be vested in a Governour to be elected to serve during good behaviour--the election to be made by Electors chosen by the people in the Election Districts aforesaid--The authorities & functions of the Executive to be as follows: to have a negative on all laws about to be passed, and the execution of all laws passed, to have the direction of war when authorized or begun; to have with the advice and approbation of the Senate the power of making all treaties; to have the sole appointment of the heads or chief officers of the departments of Finance, War and Foreign Affairs; to have the nomination of all other officers (Ambassadors to foreign Nations included) subject to the approbation or rejection of the Senate; to have the power of pardoning all offences except Treason; which he shall not pardon without the approbation of the Senate.
V. On the death resignation or removal of the Governour his authorities to be exercised by the President of the Senate till a Successor be appoint

Notice interestingly enough the ONLY group to serve a set term were in the House of Representatives(Assembly). The Senate and the President('Governour') were to serve until a time of 'death, resignation, or removal'. Much as the English system of government except we apparently had the 'joy' of electing our king. How gracious of him < /sarcasm> The man was a loon to say the least. An elected king, how novel
