The Federalist
Yet again, we find ourselves being mischaracterized by those eager to destroy our image in the eyes on the people of the Republic. A central government, army and bank is necessary to ensure the safety of our Republic against those who would destroy us and our beliefs. We experimented with confederation; a folly that need not be repeated by our nation.
The Tories seek to claim us as their supporters, but they are monarchists, the very antithesis of our nation. These United States shall never be ruled by a monarch, ever again. The monarchism of the Tories is nothing more than strains of loyalism that exist after the war. Monarchy will never return to this land, and Colonel Hamilton and his supporters shall stand opposed to any attempt to introduce it.
Colonel Hamilton is a soldier. He witnessed the failures of a weak executive first-hand as the right-hand man of General Washington, and will not see these mistakes repeated after our independence has been gained. It is asked of everyone in this nation, how many leaders do you see that fought and bled for this nation in war? How many joined the fight as soldiers? Did they even consider joining? Or were they content to simply sit far away from the battles and give orders to the men freezing and starving at Valley Forge?
These questions must be answered, if we are to have a truly united nation.
