Opinions on Ferlings Jefferson+Hamilton book?
I just got John Ferling's book "Jefferson and Hamilton: The Rivalry that Forged a Nation" and I've only read the first two chapters, but it seems like Ferling is doing his best to portray Jefferson in the best light possible to the detriment of Hamilton. I'll be the first to admit Hamilton's immaturity relative to Jefferson in the beginning of the struggle for independence, but it seems like Ferling is reluctant to give Hamilton what IS due him...he seems to downplay obstacles he was forced to overcome in his youth in order to avoid comparison in the one area where Jefferson, will all the easy opportunities he was given early in life, would certainly come out lacking. But I've only read the first two chapters. Anyone who's read this book want to comment on it? I'm interested in what people have to say.
Imagine turning on cable news to footage of Tea Party mobs burning a scarecrow Katherine Sebelius at the stake, or Joe Biden shooting Chris Christie to death with a pistol on a Potomac riverbed. It is true that we live in partisan times, but the rancor on FOX and MSNBC is nothing new. In fact, America was born in an age whose feverish partisanship makes today’s behavior look downright congenial. In the summer of 1794, after negotiating a trade treaty that the opposition found unfavorable, foreign minister John Jay was burned in effigy; it was said you could travel from Baltimore to Atlanta by the light of the bonfires. Aaron Burr, then sitting vice-president, did kill the leader of the opposition party in a duel. When Thomas Jefferson was elected president, religious conservatives told their constituencies to bury their Bibles, that Jefferson would be showing up with an army at his back to confiscate all Christian materials. “Death panels” are boring in comparison.
