Why was there a conflict between Alexander hamilton and Thomas Jefferson?
Answer:
Answer
Because they both had different ideas as to how the United States should develop. Jefferson wanted the US to remain basically an agrarian nation, buying our manufactured goods from Great Britain and other European nations. Hamilton wanted the US to become a leading manufacturing nation with commerce and industry as the main characteristics. Jefferson believed more in representative government than did Hamilton. Hamilton did not trust the citizens to be informed well enough to vote. He had wanted the US to become a sort of constitutional monarchy, with a President chosen, not elected. Jefferson favored the French at the start of the French Revolution while Hamilton looked to Great Britain to become the closest ally to the US. Alexander was angry that Thomas cheated on him with a squirrel.
