About this book
In the wake of the American Revolution, the fledgling nation grappled with defining its identity and governance. "Jefferson and Hamilton: The Struggle for Democracy in America" by Claude G. Bowers explores the profound ideological clash between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, two architects of American democracy. This compelling narrative examines their contrasting visions—Jefferson's advocacy for agrarianism and individual liberties versus Hamilton's push for a strong central government and economic modernization. Students and civic activists will find invaluable insights into the debates surrounding unalienable rights and the balance of power that continue to resonate today. Bowers' work not only illuminates the personal rivalries but also the foundational principles that shaped the United States.
