... could not be truly an independent nation. Hamilton's program had great success in restoring the credit of the United States. His vision of a centralized economy provided the basic model for a system that has survived to the present day. Yet, in the implementation of his political ideas, Hamilton encountered many attacks against his character and beliefs. I believe that Hamilton was a failure as a politician because he had many political ideas that were irrational and caused controversy amongst groups of people.

It became the place where earnest, khadi-clad men came and went at all hours of the day and night; it became a place that rang with drafts, declarations, and debates.

Early in 1818, without clear authorization, he violated Spanish-owned territory by chasing the hostile Seminole into Florida, where he then created another international incident by putting two British subjects to death(Sellers 105). Then to further his aggression, he campaigned on to Pensacola where he attacked the Spaniards there that gave permission to the British enturpenurs to sell guns to the Seminoles.
