WI: President Hanilton 1809-1817?

What if Alexander Hamilton didnt did, and became president 1808 and won in 1812? What would be do? Would be win the war of 1812? Would there even be a war of 1812? What about slavery? He was an abolitionist, so what woukd he do about it? I got the idea to post this after a friend sent me this:
Is this video accurate? Or is it ASB?
 
It might not be ASB, but it's still pretty far out there. Hamilton wasn't just unpopular nationally, but within his own party as well, having undermined Adams' re-election bid in 1800, among other things. And the Federalist Party was on a precipitous downward trend after that year, so the odds against him beating Madison seem astronomical. And even if he pulled that off, he'd need New England's support to do it, and that region most strongly opposed the War of 1812, so he would be foolish to pursue war with Britain. And again, even if he'd gone to war anyways, the President wasn't a terribly powerful position at the time, so there's not much he could do to improve the military in just a few years. Conquering Canada is right out.

Could Hamilton have passed an amendment outlawing slavery in 25 years? (Like the videos says.) could Hamilton save the Federalist Party with his election? What would the effects be of him winning?
 
I have absolutely no idea how Felming came to any of those conclusions. As @TRH mentioned, the Federalists in general and Hamilton specifically were very widely disliked, so there's no way he could get elected. He was an Anglophile, so he would have done everything possible to avoid the War of 1812. It's a major leap to assume that because he had more military experience than Madison, then he would definitely be a better wartime administrator. He might have opposed slavery (though even that's disputable), but put a negative amount of effort into stopping it politically. If he did grow a conscious and decided to push an abolition amendment, it would immediately fail in Congress and turn both the North and South against him.
 
The whole video seems concerned with what Hamilton might want and not at all with how feasible it would be for him to get what he wanted. And in the case of Canada, makes a major misreading of what he actually wanted IOTL. I've seen better alternate history on Time Squad.
 
He was an abolitionist, so what woukd he do about it?

Technically he was an emancipationist (like the slave owner and fellow Federalist John Jay) not an abolitionist, and at the constitutional convention he was perfectly willing to make concessions to slave states in order to maintain the Union. So he probably does nothing about slavery. John Adams was an opponent of slavery too, but as a politician he hardly touched the issue. If Hamilton were to run for office post 1804 then he'd probably take a similar approach.

That said, if Hamilton ran for President he would lose. Maybe not as badly as Pinckney due to his support in New York, but the fact of the matter is Hamilton was just a bad politician. Even the "Hamilton" Musical (which has a lot of historical inaccuracies and goes out of its way to make the main character far more sympathetic than he actually was) highlights this. He destroyed his own career by admitting to the Reynolds Affair completely unnecessarily, then he destroyed his own party by attacking Adams in 1800 because he couldn't swallow his oversized ego. That said, had Hamilton lived the Federalists might've lasted longer and maybe he could've persuaded his party to nominate John Marshall for President in 1812 (as they almost did, and had he run against Madison he probably would've won) but Hamilton was never going to become President.
