Diversity strengthens not only a business, but a nation as well. Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson couldn’t have had more diverse backgrounds, and beliefs. However, without both of their contributions the United States wouldn’t be what it is today. I will compare and contrast their backgrounds, their political views and beliefs, and their views on the economy.
First let’s talk about Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson’s background. Hamilton was the illegitimate son of a Scottish merchant. He was born on Nevis, an island in the West Indies. Whereas, Jefferson’s father was a surveyor and a planter. He was born in Shadwell, Virginia. Hamilton’s father deserted the family when he was just ten years old, his mother passed away four years
