Jefferson's opinion of Hamilton was based upon a Lie. A lie useful to his demagogury and manipulation of the foolish, ignorant and corrupt. Just like today's RATs.
Hamilton was a great Patriot who had devoted virtually his entire adult life to the creation and strengthening of the American nation. Only by overcoming Jefferson's lies and attempts to sabotage the administration he was part of were H and Washington able to create a government capable of leading America forward into the new age.
Jefferson's deceit and mendacity caused Washington to remove his respect, regard and friendship. He refused to even speak his name after leaving the Presidency. Hamilton was respected by Washington above all others until the end of his life. THAT says it all.

You are a well known Jefferson hater.
Your opinions on the subject are therfore discarded by me.
Hamilton was no freedom lover, and therefore I resist him and his big powerful central government ideals.
