Alexander Hamilton, Political Parties Born
  1. Alexander Hamilton
    1. Congress' first real act - two tariffs on foreign vessels and foreign imports to fix debt issue and encourage domestic production
      1. first major difference of opinion was on how to fix the debt - fell on Alexander Hamilton's shoulders
        1. felt that people were motivated by self-interest and would do well with a financial stake in the government
          1. plan: issue bonds payable at a future date, establish a National Bank, establish another alcohol tax and import tax
            1. many farmers hated the National Bank and alcohol tax and felt it favored industry - the Whiskey Rebellion was squashed in 1794 by Hamilton himself
              1. though George Washington supported Hamilton, he had made enemies out of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who led a group in Congress that opposed him
