Actually it's not the same argument. The argument has been reframed and today has nothing to do with the system the founders tried to make. The British actually retook the country and now use it as an extension of their empire. The founders were against empire all together. Do you hear anyone questioning the American Empire today? Everything has changed and the oligarchs have retaken the country and the people are to ignorant to know the difference.

One also has to take into account that from the end of the War Between the States and the WW1 the State Militias were basically dissolved into a Federalised U.S. armed forces taking all but a whimper of power from the people and states and morphing right back into the same sort of faction we fought against in the Revolution.

Hamilton sought power. People who seek power tend to be the ones who get it, so eventually most of his desired measures won out, yeah, even if it took more than 100 years for all of his goals to be realized (with the Federal Reserve and whatnot). People who oppose centralized institutions of power, like the Jeffersonians, tend to get involved in centralized institutions of power much less frequently... It's really quite inevitable.
@Tom Richey, can you do a video on leaders who were down the middle of the chart you showed? I find myself enjoying both traits depending on the circumstance and it may be beneficial to have something showing that. Thanks for the video!
Hamilton's legacy is still around in the form of the Third Bank of the United States, The Federal Reserve. Unfortunately there is very little Jeffersonian philosophy left in American politics. Ron Paul is one I can think of though.

Thank you for clarifying! I’m a college student who as a essay base on this topic and sometimes when I’m reading the chapters I have trouble understanding what’s going on. I’m reading American Horizon vol 1 edition 4
Very good. It has always confused me that Alexander Hamilton has said some good things concerning the role of government and man, yet stood for all these centralized powers that in many ways were the root of the problems to which they were rebelling against.
Hamilton feared Civil War. He was right about that. Jefferson knew slavery was like "holding a wolf by the ear", yet he did nothing to move Virginia away from it.
Can you clarify why you think a Jeffersonian Republican would be closer to a modern-day Democrat than a modern-day Republican? From looking at your chart, the beliefs of a Jeffersonian Republican (limited government, constitutionalism, laissez faire economy, states' rights) ALL align with modern-day Republican views. Not democratic.
There is an instinct to trace political evolution backward from now rather than to start at the beginning. That’s how notions like Conservatism being innately about small government and Liberalism a big one arise. The associations were reversed in fact at the Founding. The Hamiltonian Federalists represented a kind of Classical Conservatism which saw a strong national government as essential to preserving order. The Jeffersonian Republicans espoused a rigorous Classical Liberalism which perceived it to be an oppressive tool of the elite. As liberal teachings had informed the American Revolution, both camps were influenced by them. They reached consensus on recognizing natural rights, constraining government power, abandoning hereditary titles of nobility as well as the separation of church and state. The Hamiltonians, however, maintained conservative attitudes on central banking, protectionism, restricting immigration and property requirements for the vote. The Jeffersonians championed the liberal ideals of laissez-faire, free trade, open immigration and extending political suffrage to the common man. A nationalist versus internationalist divide emerged which shaped a lot of their disagreements. Perhaps the fiercest ensued when looming conflict around England and France aggravated tensions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the federal over state position was used for conservative purposes when Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Efforts to thwart radicalism that involved putting foreigners under scrutiny. And the anti-federalist stance, albeit complicated by later battles, was applied for liberal ends when Republicans retaliated with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. Decrying them as violations of civil liberties, they asserted that the states could declare federal laws that they deemed unconstitutional void. A big deal in an age of centralized empires. Though the sectional question of slavery shook up the political landscape in a variety of ways, those concepts carried on in essence as the guiding orthodoxies for the modern Republican and Democratic leaderships. But the distinction has been obscured in memory. Take two icons for limited government types who embodied the competing intellectual traditions. Hamiltonianism in the Republican Calvin Coolidge and Jeffersonianism in the Democrat Grover Cleveland. Cleveland vetoed an immigration bill which featured a literacy test as a barrier in 1897 while Coolidge signed into law such a proposal in 1924. Cleveland ran on reducing tariffs while Coolidge kept tariff rates high. Cleveland opposed national banks while Coolidge let the Federal Reserve be. Cleveland set in motion the landmark antitrust lawsuit known as the Sugar Trust Case while Coolidge ended a string of administrations that had launched many of them. Cleveland put into place the Interstate Commerce Commission to protect consumers by overseeing trade while Coolidge appointed to it and the subsequent Federal Trade Commission hands-off commissioners to facilitate economic growth. It is their shared commitment to individualism, low taxes, sound money, balanced budgets and fiscal restraint that attracts the overlapping fans. Increasing demand for government intervention ignited during the Progressive Era blurred the line between the old-fashioned conservatives and liberals weary of it. Their ideas, regardless of the historical rivalry, now tend to get lumped together in the conservative category and pit against Progressivism. It also treated as one thing, usually under the name Liberalism, despite the initial disharmony there as well. The Republican Theodore Roosevelt and Democrat Woodrow Wilson were the first progressive presidents from their parties. Though it was their successors who coined the terms Progressive Conservatism and Progressive Liberalism for their ideologies, each described himself with the pair of labels. Both differed from their classical counterparts with respect to the scope of government, but there are parallels in how they contrasted each other. Comparing Roosevelt and Wilson helps in differentiating between them. Roosevelt akin to Coolidge signed off on measures to curb immigration which included a literacy test in 1903 while Wilson like Cleveland before him rejected legislation of that sort in 1917. As expressed in his 1902 State of the Union Address, Roosevelt advocated protectionism. Wilson, on the other hand, favored free trade. A goal propounded in his Fourteen Points. Both pursued economic regulation. But though dubbed the Trustbuster, Roosevelt was not hostile to monopolies on principle. Approving of what he called good trusts like U.S. Steel. Wilson pushed for the Clayton Antitrust Act in a bid to level the playing field by breaking them all up. The argument between nationalism and internationalism gained a new dimension with their foreign policy opinions. TR believed in the superiority of Anglo-Saxon societies and, as affirmed by his Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, their duty to police the world. Conversely, Wilson claimed that no nation was fit to sit in judgement of another. His ultimate aim was global governance through the League of Nations. Much like Classical Liberalism, Progressive Conservatism is largely overlooked in these discussions. Observing them can illuminate trends which go back to the First Party System. Conditions created by the Second Industrial Revolution prompted the re-examination of accepted conservative and liberal precepts. Elements of both parties became convinced that government action was needed to remedy escalating unrest. Especially after the rise of the Populist Movement which fought for agrarian and industrial labor interests. The Populists coalesced into the People’s Party until rallying to the Democrat William Jennings Bryan to defy the rich and aid the poor. Republicans such as Roosevelt concluded that reform was necessary to prevent the country from descending into chaos. The key difference was that Bryan’s party selected him as its presidential candidate three times while Roosevelt’s gave him the vice presidency because it was thought that he couldn’t rock the boat there. Only taking office by chance after the assassination of William McKinley. And a greater number of delegates lent their support to the moderate William Howard Taft instead when he attempted to go for a third term. Admirers of Cleveland left to form the National Democratic Party when Bryan came out on top in 1896. Likewise, Roosevelt and his followers walked out to organize the original Progressive Party after Taft received the nomination in 1912. Each split benefited the other major party and they quickly declined. Internal debates persisted, but precedents were set. Though Bryan never won, Wilson acted on several of his causes. And Franklin Roosevelt actually endorsed Wilson, not Teddy, in 1912. He built on his prototypical administrative state with the New Deal. An agenda of then unmatched government activism. In keeping with Warren G. Harding and Coolidge’s Post-Wilson Return to Normalcy, Republicans led by Robert Taft worked at rolling it back. The election of Dwight Eisenhower marked a truce. His philosophy of Dynamic Conservatism made peace with the New Deal zeitgeist, but he sought to rein in any excesses. The further turns within the Democratic and Republican parties are clear-cut. The New Left and New Right adopted by George McGovern and Ronald Reagan both challenged the popular assumptions of their day. Focusing on social issues and government control. The Third Way and Compassionate Conservatism advanced by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both moved toward the center. Reflecting upon the free market and social justice. Each establishment now confronts a populist wave. Democratic Socialism and National Conservatism are embraced by those that Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have emboldened. Fed up with the ruling class, both aspire to tilt the balance of power. Granted, each from early on housed factions that spanned the political spectrum. Of note are those epitomized by the Democrat John C. Calhoun and Republican Horace Greeley. Calhoun defended the status quo for Southern planters while Greeley promoted Utopian Socialism. The two served as prominent party figures up until they, alongside other dissidents, were faced with critical disputes which drove them apart. Calhoun set up the Nullifier Party after a bitter falling-out with Andrew Jackson due to him standing by the federal government in a mounting crisis with South Carolina over the Tariff of 1828. Greeley ran as the Liberal Republican Party nominee against Ulysses S. Grant in the election of 1872 in protest of scandals in his administration tied to big business. But not even allying with their partisan adversaries, the Nullifiers with the Whigs and the Liberal Republicans with the Democrats, was enough to defeat Jackson or Grant. Most of their members soon dispersed among them both. Friction lingered between right-leaning Republican and left-leaning Democratic national parties and the left-wing Republicans and right-wing Democrats holding considerable sway at the state level with whom they compromised. The La Follette Wisconsin Republican and Talmadge Georgia Democratic machines were examples which came to blows with the Coolidge Campaign and FDR Administration. More infrastructure development coupled with gradual modernization led to the regions converging economically and culturally. That resulted in Republicans and Democrats amassing vast majorities of conservatives and liberals. Broadly speaking, along small town and big city lines. Both have indeed changed with time, quibbled over details and contained shifting coalitions. But their values remain fundamentally rooted in Hamiltonian pro-business conservative nationalism and Jeffersonian anti-elitist liberal internationalism.
holy crap, 2014 is so long ago. anyway, i'm having a presentation about hamilton tomorrow and i'm really not good at history nor politics, so i really needed this, it helped a lot.
Wow. Awesome teacher. Visual cues help explain terms and are memorable. They both have good points and it would be hard to choose a particular side but I identify with Jefferson more than Hamilton. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion regarding which party you agree with and why.
Nice breakdown. As far a tariffs go, there’s a different between picking winners and losers and protecting American businesses who pay taxes from foreign businesses who don’t pay taxes.
I believe that our country is actually a bit of a mixture of both Hamilton’s and Jefferson’s visions. Probably mostly Hamilton’s vision but also has some of Jefferson’s belief as well.
Filipinogenetics Glad I could help you! I was planning on waiting until I could do something more elaborate for this topic, but this seems to be hitting the spot for a lot of people.

Thank you very much. I am doing a homework assignment where I have to choose one or the other and this helped me decide. On an irrelevant note.. You have really nice skin lol. You speak very well also. Thanks again!
Álvaro Lopes Jefferson inherited his father's plantation when he was just 14. He hadn't even gone off to William & Mary yet and he was already in charge of a plantation and ownership of slaves was still considered the norm at that time. He's quoted as calling slavery 'moral depravity'. In 1778, he drafted a Virginia law that prohibited the importation of enslaved Africans. In 1784, he proposed an ordinance that would ban slavery in the Northwest territories. It seems clear that although he was born into it, he saw slavery as a threat to the future of the country because it was a glaring contradiction in the face of liberty; something he fought for all his life. Maybe cut him some slack.. The man was obviously far more libertarian than what we would call a Democrat or a Republican by today's standards.
He also never freed his slaves. He even had many children with one of his slaves and on his death bed he freed them (because yes, his kids were still slaves) but not the woman he "loved". He's a complete hypocrite.
He was deep in dept and at the end of his life, the debt transfers to his family. The only way out was to sell the slaves so he wouldn't screw his wife and kids. Also he did free that woman.
Set them free or what? Give them a pocket of jangle(they can't really use) and out them on the streets. Where they were (in many cases) no more than cattle. Yea brilliant. Smh...
Gotcha. I use what you have posted. I'll use what I've been using for JvH. My kids love you, btw. I'm not just a thief. But your powerpoints give me ideas that I'd never had and then I tweak them to fit my own sense of humor. And kids think we're related. "Miss, he your brother?" I hear at the end when your picture comes up.
I’d say that roughly speaking the modern Democrats seek Jeffersonian ends by Hamiltonian means while the modern Republicans seek Hamiltonian ends by Jeffersonian means. Even if many haven’t put it together yet.
When you don't live in America or France, have no reason to watch this and have as little as 0.001% chance of having to know this for school. But you're a Hamilton fan so you watch anyways while humming the songs.
I’m studying early American history on my own, and expect to find out why Madison became a Jeffersonian. His stance before, during the 1787 Constitutional Convention, and in the ratification process was that of the Federalists.

Thank you for clarifying! I’m a college student who as a essay base on this topic and sometimes when I’m reading the chapters I have trouble understanding what’s going on. I’m reading American Horizon vol 1 edition 4
really enjoy these videos
Thank you so much! This video was very helpful!
Thanks Tom. Interesting how they compare with the current parties.
Very good. It has always confused me that Alexander Hamilton has said some good things concerning the role of government and man, yet stood for all these centralized powers that in many ways were the root of the problems to which they were rebelling against.
Hamilton feared Civil War. He was right about that. Jefferson knew slavery was like "holding a wolf by the ear", yet he did nothing to move Virginia away from it.
The argument continues to this day ... well done professor.
Thank you so much for this video. God bless you man
Can you clarify why you think a Jeffersonian Republican would be closer to a modern-day Democrat than a modern-day Republican? From looking at your chart, the beliefs of a Jeffersonian Republican (limited government, constitutionalism, laissez faire economy, states' rights) ALL align with modern-day Republican views. Not democratic.
Mark-It-8-Dude this guy is a biased idiot Republican Trump supporter who believes in revisionist history smh.
There is an instinct to trace political evolution backward from now rather than to start at the beginning. That’s how notions like Conservatism being innately about small government and Liberalism a big one arise. The associations were reversed in fact at the Founding. The Hamiltonian Federalists represented a kind of Classical Conservatism which saw a strong national government as essential to preserving order. The Jeffersonian Republicans espoused a rigorous Classical Liberalism which perceived it to be an oppressive tool of the elite. As liberal teachings had informed the American Revolution, both camps were influenced by them. They reached consensus on recognizing natural rights, constraining government power, abandoning hereditary titles of nobility as well as the separation of church and state.
The Hamiltonians, however, maintained conservative attitudes on central banking, protectionism, restricting immigration and property requirements for the vote. The Jeffersonians championed the liberal ideals of laissez-faire, free trade, open immigration and extending political suffrage to the common man. A nationalist versus internationalist divide emerged which shaped a lot of their disagreements. Perhaps the fiercest ensued when looming conflict around England and France aggravated tensions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the federal over state position was used for conservative purposes when Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Efforts to thwart radicalism that involved putting foreigners under scrutiny. And the anti-federalist stance, albeit complicated by later battles, was applied for liberal ends when Republicans retaliated with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. Decrying them as violations of civil liberties, they asserted that the states could declare federal laws that they deemed unconstitutional void. A big deal in an age of centralized empires.
Though the sectional question of slavery shook up the political landscape in a variety of ways, those concepts carried on in essence as the guiding orthodoxies for the modern Republican and Democratic leaderships. But the distinction has been obscured in memory. Take two icons for limited government types who embodied the competing intellectual traditions. Hamiltonianism in the Republican Calvin Coolidge and Jeffersonianism in the Democrat Grover Cleveland. Cleveland vetoed an immigration bill which featured a literacy test as a barrier in 1897 while Coolidge signed into law such a proposal in 1924. Cleveland ran on reducing tariffs while Coolidge kept tariff rates high. Cleveland opposed national banks while Coolidge let the Federal Reserve be. Cleveland set in motion the landmark antitrust lawsuit known as the Sugar Trust Case while Coolidge ended a string of administrations that had launched many of them.
Cleveland put into place the Interstate Commerce Commission to protect consumers by overseeing trade while Coolidge appointed to it and the subsequent Federal Trade Commission hands-off commissioners to facilitate economic growth. It is their shared commitment to individualism, low taxes, sound money, balanced budgets and fiscal restraint that attracts the overlapping fans. Increasing demand for government intervention ignited during the Progressive Era blurred the line between the old-fashioned conservatives and liberals weary of it. Their ideas, regardless of the historical rivalry, now tend to get lumped together in the conservative category and pit against Progressivism. It also treated as one thing, usually under the name Liberalism, despite the initial disharmony there as well.
The Republican Theodore Roosevelt and Democrat Woodrow Wilson were the first progressive presidents from their parties. Though it was their successors who coined the terms Progressive Conservatism and Progressive Liberalism for their ideologies, each described himself with the pair of labels. Both differed from their classical counterparts with respect to the scope of government, but there are parallels in how they contrasted each other. Comparing Roosevelt and Wilson helps in differentiating between them. Roosevelt akin to Coolidge signed off on measures to curb immigration which included a literacy test in 1903 while Wilson like Cleveland before him rejected legislation of that sort in 1917. As expressed in his 1902 State of the Union Address, Roosevelt advocated protectionism. Wilson, on the other hand, favored free trade. A goal propounded in his Fourteen Points.
Both pursued economic regulation. But though dubbed the Trustbuster, Roosevelt was not hostile to monopolies on principle. Approving of what he called good trusts like U.S. Steel. Wilson pushed for the Clayton Antitrust Act in a bid to level the playing field by breaking them all up. The argument between nationalism and internationalism gained a new dimension with their foreign policy opinions. TR believed in the superiority of Anglo-Saxon societies and, as affirmed by his Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, their duty to police the world. Conversely, Wilson claimed that no nation was fit to sit in judgement of another. His ultimate aim was global governance through the League of Nations. Much like Classical Liberalism, Progressive Conservatism is largely overlooked in these discussions. Observing them can illuminate trends which go back to the First Party System.
Conditions created by the Second Industrial Revolution prompted the re-examination of accepted conservative and liberal precepts. Elements of both parties became convinced that government action was needed to remedy escalating unrest. Especially after the rise of the Populist Movement which fought for agrarian and industrial labor interests. The Populists coalesced into the People’s Party until rallying to the Democrat William Jennings Bryan to defy the rich and aid the poor. Republicans such as Roosevelt concluded that reform was necessary to prevent the country from descending into chaos. The key difference was that Bryan’s party selected him as its presidential candidate three times while Roosevelt’s gave him the vice presidency because it was thought that he couldn’t rock the boat there. Only taking office by chance after the assassination of William McKinley. And a greater number of delegates lent their support to the moderate William Howard Taft instead when he attempted to go for a third term.
Admirers of Cleveland left to form the National Democratic Party when Bryan came out on top in 1896. Likewise, Roosevelt and his followers walked out to organize the original Progressive Party after Taft received the nomination in 1912. Each split benefited the other major party and they quickly declined. Internal debates persisted, but precedents were set. Though Bryan never won, Wilson acted on several of his causes. And Franklin Roosevelt actually endorsed Wilson, not Teddy, in 1912. He built on his prototypical administrative state with the New Deal. An agenda of then unmatched government activism. In keeping with Warren G. Harding and Coolidge’s Post-Wilson Return to Normalcy, Republicans led by Robert Taft worked at rolling it back. The election of Dwight Eisenhower marked a truce. His philosophy of Dynamic Conservatism made peace with the New Deal zeitgeist, but he sought to rein in any excesses.
The further turns within the Democratic and Republican parties are clear-cut. The New Left and New Right adopted by George McGovern and Ronald Reagan both challenged the popular assumptions of their day. Focusing on social issues and government control. The Third Way and Compassionate Conservatism advanced by Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both moved toward the center. Reflecting upon the free market and social justice. Each establishment now confronts a populist wave. Democratic Socialism and National Conservatism are embraced by those that Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have emboldened. Fed up with the ruling class, both aspire to tilt the balance of power.
Granted, each from early on housed factions that spanned the political spectrum. Of note are those epitomized by the Democrat John C. Calhoun and Republican Horace Greeley. Calhoun defended the status quo for Southern planters while Greeley promoted Utopian Socialism. The two served as prominent party figures up until they, alongside other dissidents, were faced with critical disputes which drove them apart. Calhoun set up the Nullifier Party after a bitter falling-out with Andrew Jackson due to him standing by the federal government in a mounting crisis with South Carolina over the Tariff of 1828. Greeley ran as the Liberal Republican Party nominee against Ulysses S. Grant in the election of 1872 in protest of scandals in his administration tied to big business. But not even allying with their partisan adversaries, the Nullifiers with the Whigs and the Liberal Republicans with the Democrats, was enough to defeat Jackson or Grant. Most of their members soon dispersed among them both.
Friction lingered between right-leaning Republican and left-leaning Democratic national parties and the left-wing Republicans and right-wing Democrats holding considerable sway at the state level with whom they compromised. The La Follette Wisconsin Republican and Talmadge Georgia Democratic machines were examples which came to blows with the Coolidge Campaign and FDR Administration. More infrastructure development coupled with gradual modernization led to the regions converging economically and culturally. That resulted in Republicans and Democrats amassing vast majorities of conservatives and liberals. Broadly speaking, along small town and big city lines. Both have indeed changed with time, quibbled over details and contained shifting coalitions. But their values remain fundamentally rooted in Hamiltonian pro-business conservative nationalism and Jeffersonian anti-elitist liberal internationalism.
holy crap, 2014 is so long ago. anyway, i'm having a presentation about hamilton tomorrow and i'm really not good at history nor politics, so i really needed this, it helped a lot.
THANK YOU! I am totally going to pass my final now.
GLAD TO HEAR IT! :D
hehe im not
Thank you very much! Very helpful!
The best teacher I ever had
Wow. Awesome teacher. Visual cues help explain terms and are memorable. They both have good points and it would be hard to choose a particular side but I identify with Jefferson more than Hamilton. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion regarding which party you agree with and why.
Nice breakdown. As far a tariffs go, there’s a different between picking winners and losers and protecting American businesses who pay taxes from foreign businesses who don’t pay taxes.
I know I'm late but awesome man btw which state are you from I'm from New York because you have a semi state accent but I'm not sure which lol
Nice video- concise, informative, and entertaining. :-)
+Lexi McNoogut Thanks! :D Glad I could help you learn something and have a little fun doing it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Soooo helpful, thanks a ton!
Finally! A video made before the Broadway show!
Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder
Great Video!
A very good explanation.
what a great video thank you
What camera or camcorder do you use to record this video?
This is so helpful to my social studies test.
Adam Smith's "Hidden Hand" is the spontaneous order that LazzeFaire brings as each pursues his own interest.
Nice work
Thank you and God bless you.
I believe that our country is actually a bit of a mixture of both Hamilton’s and Jefferson’s visions. Probably mostly Hamilton’s vision but also has some of Jefferson’s belief as well.
When Jefferson wins, "you don't have the votes, you don't have the votes, ah ha ha ha"
You're gonna need congressional approval and you don't have the votes
We all know who the true winner is here.
thank u for presenting info with ur own personality. i hate when youtube teachers try to act "hip".
Appreciate this video!
Filipinogenetics Glad I could help you! I was planning on waiting until I could do something more elaborate for this topic, but this seems to be hitting the spot for a lot of people.
Ahaha I've been sleeping in and missing my U.S. History college course and on this was on the powerpoint notes, so this video really helped me out since I learn topics for every course better on TH-cam aha
Thanks for the lesson! =]
hysuka2 Glad I could help you! XD
Thank you very much. I am doing a homework assignment where I have to choose one or the other and this helped me decide. On an irrelevant note.. You have really nice skin lol. You speak very well also. Thanks again!
katiefershadybaby Thank you on all counts! :D
Tom Richey You are welcome :)
He's married
Really useful video :)
Interesting , thank you
Thomas Jefferson would be a libertarian
I don't think owning slaves classifies as libertarian.
Álvaro Lopes Jefferson inherited his father's plantation when he was just 14. He hadn't even gone off to William & Mary yet and he was already in charge of a plantation and ownership of slaves was still considered the norm at that time.
He's quoted as calling slavery 'moral depravity'. In 1778, he drafted a Virginia law that prohibited the importation of enslaved Africans. In 1784, he proposed an ordinance that would ban slavery in the Northwest territories.
It seems clear that although he was born into it, he saw slavery as a threat to the future of the country because it was a glaring contradiction in the face of liberty; something he fought for all his life. Maybe cut him some slack.. The man was obviously far more libertarian than what we would call a Democrat or a Republican by today's standards.
He also never freed his slaves. He even had many children with one of his slaves and on his death bed he freed them (because yes, his kids were still slaves) but not the woman he "loved". He's a complete hypocrite.
He was deep in dept and at the end of his life, the debt transfers to his family. The only way out was to sell the slaves so he wouldn't screw his wife and kids. Also he did free that woman.
Set them free or what? Give them a pocket of jangle(they can't really use) and out them on the streets. Where they were (in many cases) no more than cattle. Yea brilliant. Smh...
Needs of Maine would be the needs of Mass because Maine isn't a state until 1820
What would they think about bitcoin? 🤔
i like this very much plz do more stufff but make it brtter
wow awesome man. Thanks!
Do you have a powerpoint for this one? :)
It's a work in progress - should be available on the unit page on my website but I only display finished products on my PowerPoints page.
Gotcha. I use what you have posted. I'll use what I've been using for JvH.
My kids love you, btw.
I'm not just a thief. But your powerpoints give me ideas that I'd never had and then I tweak them to fit my own sense of humor.
And kids think we're related. "Miss, he your brother?" I hear at the end when your picture comes up.
THANK YOU!
Excellent !!!!
I'm here for assignment and this is the hardest and the most confusing assignment I'm.gonn be doing😵😵
I’d say that roughly speaking the modern Democrats seek Jeffersonian ends by Hamiltonian means while the modern Republicans seek Hamiltonian ends by Jeffersonian means. Even if many haven’t put it together yet.
This guy is a great teacher👍
I thought he was doing this during the pandemic
thank you! You probably just saved my grade
When you don't live in America or France, have no reason to watch this and have as little as 0.001% chance of having to know this for school. But you're a Hamilton fan so you watch anyways while humming the songs.
Hyped Apple me
Literally me
I’m studying early American history on my own, and expect to find out why Madison became a Jeffersonian. His stance before, during the 1787 Constitutional Convention, and in the ratification process was that of the Federalists.

Awesome!
