I agree. Ironically some founders were very strongly against political parties. I believe Jefferson was very heated about it. When Hamilton created one to get the federal banking institutions implemented, Jefferson started a party of his own as a counterbalance. And there you have it, even the founders couldn't avoid political parties.
That's my recollection at least. Apologies if I flubbed some details. That was my takeaway.
What would be a good place to start to learn more about this! This is fascinating stuff, Fren. The kind of stuff that actually interests me about the history. The gritty details. What should I read?
The Politically Incorrect Guide To The American Revolution
The Founding Father's Guide To The Constitution
Washington's Immortals
A Patriot's History Of The United States
Killing England
I am pretty sure the Federalist Papers discussed the Jefferson/Hamilton friction. I've read/listened to them all, some more than once, so it kind of blends together in my Patriot mind. 😉
....That Hamilton character again. Have you ever noticed American history taught in school consistently portrays Alexander Hamilton as some great political philosopher opposite of Jefferson. It is always 'Hamiltonian' versus 'Jeffersonian' thought that's presented. In reality, Jefferson predominantly prevailed, while Hamilton was sidelined. Correct me if I am wrong, but to me his role in the formation of the Constitution was used as the countering argument.
Continuing with this line of thinking, have you noticed Alexander Hamilton is never attacked like Thomas Jefferson is in the modern age. Coincidence? I think not. Jefferson is besmirched and slandered from everything to having slaves, smoking weed, to having sex and offspring with one of his slaves (which is a dubious and void of evidence despite what the MSM presents). It's intended to slander and undermine the brilliance of one of our greatest founding fathers.
Alexander was an agent for the Rothschilds. His role was to subvert the American birth of governance and shackle it through establishing a Rothschild national bank.
I often wonder if there was more to the story and reason why Aaron Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton.
A concise and simple history lesson every student should learn.

Hey fren! Here are some of my favorites.

Thank you Fren! That's a good start!
