Jefferson's name was never to be even mentioned in Washington's presence he abominated the man so. Fortunately he died before having to see J sworn in as president. That alone would have probably killed him.

Hamilton was the principle architect of the modern capitalist economy of the US which has allowed the creation of the most powerful and free state in world history. But for him the Slavers' Revolt would probably have succeded.

Hamilton liked taxes, protectionist tariffs, "improvements" expenditures, and a federalized interventionist monetary policy. Not one of those things is even remotely true to capitalism. Nice try but Hamilton was no capitalist. He was by definition an interventionist with a flare for mercantilism and the forerunner of the Keynesian leftists of today.
