True, but while Jefferson failed to eliminate slavery from the United States of America, Hamilton is among those most responsible for Federalizing the nation.

Jefferson's understanding of slavery did more damage to this nation than the Federalism that Hamilton proposed. Hamilton wasn't trying to dissolve individual state sovereignty. He simply realized that without some concessions the Republic was doomed to failure.
