In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.
Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 1, October 27, 1787
He didn’t know the Credit Default Swap would be created. He was right up until we created that financial instrument.

Jefferson as written in this show always came off as a man who just wants to perpetually fight revolutions rather than deal with the consequences of governing what comes next. Even in real life to a large extent, he often wrote frequent and rather self-pitying letters about how much he hated being President. He always seemed to be about the romanticism of everything rather than the realism.

Everyone saying that Hamilton was right. Funny then that after Andrew Jackson destroyed the national bank, America went through the most consistent and stable growth of all time, the country's early railroads were built, the industrial revolution began and pushed America to go from an agrarian society to one of the largest industrial powerhouses. Then, after 1913 when the IRS, the fed reserve, and national banking was reestablished, not even two decades later America went through The Great Depression, the worst economic collapse in our history. Since then we have continued to have large economic collapses of various sectors or the whole economy like clockwork. I would trade having the biggest and best economy on paper but collapsing so routinely for having the slower but more stable economy of the 19th century. You can make whatever point about the 19th century you want, but you can not disprove that the industrial revolution began and prospered after Jackson killed the national bank. The economy still grew as competitively as its european counterparts and can you honestly say that life in 1800s america was any worse than life Victorian England or France?

This is just a lie, the first national bank expired in 1811 and then the war of 1812 happened and there was immense economic instability so they immediately brought it back in 1816. And the federal reserve is not at all like the national bank, the federal reserve is effectively a private entity.

Jefferson WAS A JOKE HERE. The French revolution was a literal slaughter house of the inmates running the asylum. The French purged themselves of one aristocracy and gained the dictator Napoleon. Instead of stabilizing the nation he plunged into devastating wars that nearly destroyed it. In reality, the French were never the same...oh wait...they were Did they set one colony free after La Revolution....NO. THEY SUBJUGATED OTHER MEN JUST AS IF THE ARISTOCRACY WAS STILL IN POWER. Seriously...who wrote that line...because it was NOT in the book.

This country has an ABUNDANCE OF EVERY FUCKING KIND OF MONITARILY QUANTIFIABLE RESOURCE OF EVERY KIND which we would serve as great "credit". If you have a million dollars in collateral then you can get a huge loan EASILY. You dont need to be in debt to have good credit

since the land qualities needed to farm varies across regions some settlements will prosper due to their geography and some will falter. So what happens when a group finds itself with failed crops and no way to survive the winter ? They may trade with other groups, building out what we call a market today, giving way to the idea of property and so on. Or if they have nothing to trade, desperate, they may invade, steal, compete, establishing the need for protection, laws, armies, the state institution itself. At the same time, people begin to notice the imbalance and power of this new propertied reality, rationalizing the hoarding of wealth for the sake of future security. Hence the birth of inequity, poverty, socio-economic class. Every major structural aspect of society today, from ownership to trade to nation states to institutional warfare to the competitive ethic to vast economic inequality and power hierarchy was predictable. Snowballing ever since

So lifelong historian here. One of the contradictions in Jefferson's personality is his abhorrence for 'authority' and his yearning for the 'freedom of man'... but he clings to his own wealth and status like a man in a shipwreck and continually defines himself as a 'Virginia gentleman'. Now, setting aside the issue of race [every single one of the Founding Fathers was a racist as we define the term today], Jefferson would rather burn Monticello down around his own ears than surrender 50 acres of it to a poor man. His estate, not farm, not plantation... **estate** ... was his and his alone, and he ruled it he were its king. He may complain about money, banks, and authority, but he was the beneficiary and a practioner of all of it his whole life.

First Bank of the US was privately-owned, printed US currency and charged interest. Exactly like the Federal Reserve Bank. Foreigners were allowed to be First Bank of the United States stockholders. When the bank's charter was not renewed by Congress in 1811, the UK stockholders retaliated with the War of 1812.
