Hamilton had the heart of a Tyrant. What is on paper is all good and well - men like Hamilton wrote one thing to propel them forward or as in his words “guide the torrent” of frustration.
Newburgh Conspiracy. In the nations infancy Hamilton was one of the first to use dishonesty & lying to the public and congress to get what he wanted.
If you find such a man honorable - good luck to you.
Agree. At the time, the Federalists were the “big government” faction, (as in we were so distrustful of central government at the time, many people were afraid the ideas would make it too powerful. I think many people can’t even imagine that and reconcile it against politics today) and Hamilton’s subsequent shilling to sell us out to a central bank is perfectly consistent with that. It’s perfectly fair to question his motives, especially since we’ve seen this “central bank struggle” play out throughout our nation’s history, but for someone to say “he wrote the federalist papers, therefore ...” is a disingenuous argument that seems to want to avoid the real problem to protect the character of someone who’s been dead for almost 220 years. The fact that the left suddenly loves him because of the musical is just the cherry on the sundae of suspicion for me.
Turns out there might have been a reason he ended up getting killed in a duel by the sitting Vice President...
George Washington also lied. Particularly about the existence of the Culpepper spy ring. All men lie, even Trump ("get the vaccines"). Lying isn't the issue, blind faith is the issue. "Disinfo (lies) is necessary".
There was no other way to pay that war debt. We HAD to establish a central bank for the short term. That's what people don't understand. What Hamilton envisioned in the 1770s was NOTHING compared to what we have today. We had NO way to pay that war debt and needed international trade immediately.

Agreed %100
Hamilton was the Father of Paytrotism.
