Alexander Hamilton saw the civil war coming.

the gap in time between the prediction and the actual event is simply an indication of the prescience of the visionary.

“Alexander Hamilton saw the civil war coming.”

But Andrew Jackson was very specific. He actually wrote these words after the nullification crisis: “the tariff was only a pretext, and disunion and southern confederacy the real object. The next pretext will be the negro, or slavery question.”

George Washington’s Farewell Address was primarily a warning against Secession. It was primarily written by Hamilton.
