This episode dives into the ultimate Founding Fathers face-off — Alexander Hamilton versus Thomas Jefferson. One dreamed of a buzzing industrial empire powered by banks and commerce; the other envisioned a nation of independent farmers and small-town virtue. Their rivalry wasn't just personal — it shaped the DNA of America's political system. Tune in to hear how their clashing visions created the first political parties, fueled fiery cabinet debates, and defined what "freedom" and "government power" would mean in the new republic. Spoiler: they didn't exactly end up best friends.
