Quick question. The founding father who raped people he owned as property is....
Hamilton doesn't fit into the label autocratic elitist despot. He certainly didn't trust the masses, believing absurd things like the French Revolution would end in tears and with a militarist seizing power, which hahaha was absurd, and favoring radical notions like ensuring the US's creditworthiness, but let's not pretend that Jefferson was a simple yeoman farmer.
And then you see, this immediately becomes the Hamilton v Jefferson thing because the entire history has been hijacked for modern political purposes. Idiot libertarians re-imagining Jefferson as a proto-libertarian does not excuse idiot progressives doing the same thing with Hamilton.
