In Response To: Re: Alexander Hamilton on PBS ()

The one I saw before was a round table type of discussion with a number of authors and historians. It was about 2 hours long and was very interesting. I think it corrosponded with the celebration on Hamilton they had in New York. They seemed to stay on track as to Hamilton's bio and accomplishments. Of course his birth rank was a major topic. I believe he was what he became because of the hardship in his early years. He had an understanding those of means did not on the way the law affected the common man. He was a complex man but intelligent.
Though he would never have been president, I wonder what else he may have accomplished had he lived longer.

I also wonder what the men who were so important in the founding of this nation would have done or thought at its division so few years after they worked so hard.
