Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson offered distinct visions for the nation they were founding—one urban and industrial, the other rural and agrarian. In twenty-first-century America, a nation of cities and commerce, it is easy to think Hamilton won. But did he? How did the two visions clash in eighteenth-century America? What were their origins, and what have they meant for the United States? This seminar is a collaboration between the National Humanities Center and public television's historical documentary film series American Experience. Participants will view the American Experience film Alexander Hamilton and explore how to use it in the classroom. Leader: Peter Onuf, Thomas Jefferson Professor of History, University of Virginia
