Otl, Alexander Hamilton, with endorsement from both Adams and Washington, was the third president of the US. his term saw massive centralization in the federal government, and a fair amount in the president. He increased tariffs massively, in a clear and successful attempt to kick start industrialization the united states, able to get textile mills all along the east coast. Able to successfully argue in many areas even when industrialization was in her infancy that it would be better for business if workers were able to afford things from the factory, making the idea of a minimum wage popular early on in the north and as details from the slave states in the south came to be known with novels like uncle tom's cabin over the early to mid 19th century, there was fierce pushback against slavery in the north. He even negotiated the louisiana purchase for like, a penny an acre.
Of course though, there's the Anglo-American Rapprochement Treaty he orchestrated, wherein, in exchange for stopping the impressment of sailors and merchants and not interfering with american expansion in the columbia territory, America would give up claims to all of canada, and allow the creation of a nation of native americans in the northern louisiana territory- the modern day 'Republic of the Dakota Peoples,' which would conveniently interfere with american expansion in the columbia territory, for decades. Granted, both Columbia and Washington were admitted with little trouble, but many american grumbled about how even touching the RDP would trigger war with Britain. But, all that could've been avoided.
Hamilton took a bit of convincing to run, and in fact, didn't want to until he heard through the
grapevine the Federalist Party was considering Aaron Burr, which is when Hamilton immediately declared his candidacy. So what if the federalists wanted someone else, and so Hamilton never ran?
