I have some bad news for you. The election of 1800 was not this cordial. President John Adams, incumbent Federalist maverick president, was called a "hideous hermaphroditical character with neither the firmness of a man nor the kindness or sensibility of a woman" by Jefferson in a democratic-republican paper. I believe that Adams responded by telling a federalist paper that Jefferson had died or was a french traitor. Adams won only Massachusetts, and didnt forgive Jefferson until Abagail Adams died. The election was tied between Jefferson and Aaron Burr, it went to the house for election to break the tie, and Hamilton wrote to the house "Jefferson has genuine love for this country. Burr loves only himself." Jefferson won.

[@FlameG102]

@@attiepollard7847 they do however become more dependant on goods produced by others. In a city you might not have any room to grow vegetables or herbs or have any livestock. So you need to purchase it. Which requires businesses to specialize and mass produce. Which further removes the humanity from consumption. Look at how we mass produce dairy and meat. In factories. By large scale faceless agricultural corporations. That was largely Jefferson's point. He hated cities in general and much preferred agricultural rural settings. Someone in an agricultural setting is much more in control and has much more control over his life and sustenance. If you have open land you can plant for your sustenance. Or raise some livestock. And what you dont have, you can buy or trade for with another farmer down the road. If need be you would need as little money as possible to survive, because your land can produce for you. Remember, this is the late 1700s. You don't have uncle Sam telling you how to build a house or what you can put there. You could build your own house yourself. And your tools largely. And then use them to care for your sustenance. Vs being in a city, where you are beholden to money because you need money to buy your sustenance, and so in turn you are beholden to the "stockjobber" and the central authority etc

I think that's pretty accurate, Hamilton was upfront and had a proclivity for going to far at times; he much benefitted from having a mentor like Washington temper his radicalism. Jefferson meanwhile was a model "Southern gentleman", acting as polite as he possible could help it (though behind the scenes as shrewd and calculated as any Machiavellian politician could be).

[@adambowman8543]

I find myself in agreement with Mr Jefferson. His idea of country of nothing but simple farmers has great appeal. The land is the thing that ties a family together generations of blood, sweat, tears, and prayers poured into the soil over generations, is a powerful thing. I think that's part of what is sorely missing in our society today, a thing that ties the generations together, from father to son to grandson, and on down the line.

Jeffersons ideas come off as overly utopian. Hamiltons stance is realistic, but in the long term won't succeed if the common man doesn't share the values that Jefferson believe are inherent to every person. Jefferson was an optimist with essentially no plan. IE: the less government that exists the better. In reality, government HAS to exist, as Hamilton posits, but it won't succeed unless people behave, on a individual level, like Jefferson assumes they will. This is the true crux of the debate. Jefferson wants to abolish establishment and, in my opinion, wrongfully assumes everything will work its way out. Hamilton understands governmental institutions have to exist for a country to flourish, but is taking a gamble on hoping the average citizen is better than they are. Ultimately, the common man decides the fate of a nation, regardless of whom you agree with in this debate.

They eventually became enemies. However personal their animus became, there was still a residue of (for want of a better term) mutual respect. In the 1800 presidential election Hamilton put his personal animosity to Jefferson aside and urged voters to support Jefferson over the other main candidate, Aaron Burr. Hamilton saw Burr as an unscrupulous opportunist. I'm paraphrasing here, but I recall Hamilton at that time said something like, "Although Mr. Jefferson's principles are completely antithetical to my own, at least he has principles."

Ironically, I know that both the First and Second Chartered National Bank of the United States were burned to the ground because of shady business practices. Yet, the Federal Reserve, a private bank, has not been burned to the ground, despite it's shady practices, because of a quorum in 1913 which unlawfully ceded monetary control of the government to that bank. At the same time, federal taxes have sustained that bank, all the while that bank, being the Federal Reserve, has inflated our money to the point it is nearly worthless. One dollar in 1913 is now, a century later, worth only 4¢ or less. It is a travesty to any rational sensibility that such a theft of money from everyone, rich or poor, should not go unaudited or unpunished. The Federal Reserve deservedly needs to be abolished, and sound monetary policy restored to America by the House of Representatives in Congress, as the federal Constitution demands. Congress, not the Federal Reserve, sets the value of our money -- not the Federal Reserve using interest rates to control inflation. Yet for over 100 years, the Federal Reserve has done exactly what Tom Jefferson feared: Stolen the economic freedom of America's people via financiers and monocrats who think they know better than ordinary citizens how to execute sound financial policy. Because of this arrogance on the part of the financiers, and the apathy of the people, the people are nearly enslaved to the debt of previous generations.

He would have seen conquest and war to be incompatible with a republican form of gov’t. He wouldn’t have approved of a republic attacking another republic. In fact he would have condemned it. You have to understand that imperialism is rooted in nationalism ie “America first” idea.

[@porsche911sbs]

Frankly Jefferson's economic ideas became outdated during the Gilded Age, when the U.S. transitioned from an agrarian culture to an industrial one. Jefferson was worried about the government exploiting the people, but he didn't foresee a future where industrial corporations became powerful enough to oppress their laborers. Perhaps Jeffersonian notions of self-reliance will become in vogue again some time in the future but that seems far off. Hamilton on the other hand correctly predicted the US's future as a financial and industrial power.
