Washington's Presidency

What were Hamilton and Jefferson's competing economic and political visions for the American republic?

Why did Hamilton favor a commercial and industrial model for the U.S. economy? Why did Jefferson favor an agrarian model?

How do Jefferson's and Hamilton's respective views of representation reflect differing interpretations of republicanism?

Why did Democratic-Republicans (Jeffersonians) favor closer relations with France, while Federalists (Hamiltonians) favored closer relations with the British?

Why did President Washington favor a policy of neutrality towards Britain and France?

If we pass in the Timeline to you an you decide it doesn't have enough information, can we get it back and add more to it (not get any points taken off)? =)

Also, do we need to include details about the Native American wars?
