Part Two
Answers Points 1-4 in essay form.
1. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton had a profound impact on the political and economic development of the United States, In the first point of discussion, looking at their political records and the primary source documents define in general their economic solution for the long-term development of the United States. Provide a critical general definition of both primary sources in the initial introduction, though neither solution is perfect or complete in the statement of thesis apply the correct economic and political policy for the emergent nineteenth century. In the introduction also define the overall visions that Jefferson and Hamilton had for the economic destiny of the United States that is revealed in the primary sources. Both pictures are starkly different, contrast them. (In the introduction define the fundamental differences between the two men, these points could be political and economic in nature, this should be addressed in the introduction). In a second body, paragraphs define the wider economic and political issues between the North and the South and the Federalists and the Republicans in the Washington Administration.
2. Moving into the Jefferson source provide a general portrait of why Jefferson believed yeoman were the ethical and literal inheritors of the land. How did he view industrial Europe in the source? Define his view of the industry on industry. Though Jefferson would have wide support around the yeomen class present the type of American economy that would develop with solely agriculture and the United States heavily dependent on foreign manufacturing. In the agriculture picture of America is slavery potentially eradicated or would it continue to develop? Was Jefferson realistic in terms of his solution or plagued by his own economic blindness as a plantation and slave owner?
3.Move into the Hamilton solution. What does the United States have a natural abundance of in terms of economy? What does the country need? Speak to the point of farming, labor, infrastructure and the overall need for a bank. What about the issue of industry and foreign trade? Look at the wider economic state of the United States when Hamilton was serving as Secretary of Commerce under President Washington. Could his simple solutions of taxation and a bank resolve the wider economic depression that country was suffering from?
4. Ultimately in terms of the rapid economic expansion of the United States, who was proven correct in terms of their economic and political analysis? In terms of the wider political and economic issues why is the issue of slavery a necessary part of the American economy that neither man seemed to address directly in the developing American future?
