Jefferson v. Hamilton Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were major rivals. They did not agree on anything. They were also both founding fathers of America. They both debated a lot about issues they thought were needed to be addressed. They both had debated their own ideas of how the American economy should be. The difference between the two were Hamilton’s vision was about manufacturing, banking, and unification and Jefferson’s idea was on farming and individuality of the states and the people. Hamilton’s was right that its was important for the U.S. economy to have a national banking systems, we have this today. Jefferson thought that we would not have any need for a national banking systems. Our country went more in favor in Hamilton,
