This is the story of Hamiltonianism in America. There exists a sentiment among voters that both parties are interchangeable, and, for the better part of American history, this was not the case. The reason: parties were either Hamiltonian or Jeffersonian, not conservative or liberal. Today, we have lost the Hamiltonian ideology at the national level, leaving a hole where men like Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt once stood. Through Hamilton and his politics, his ideological successors, and a contrarian narrative of American political history, the ideas that made America will be regained.
