History Forum: Hamilton and Jefferson's Founding Rivalry
A History Forum featuring historian John Ferling, author of "Jefferson and Hamilton: The Rivalry that Forged a Nation."
Ferling says founders Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton had different ideas about liberty and the role of government, and the America we see now is more what Hamilton wanted than what Jefferson wanted.
Two men who became revolutionaries for different reasons. Ferling spoke at the History Center in St. Paul November 8, 2014.
