Washington leading troops during the Whiskey Rebellion

Jefferson and his allies in the Southern States were rooted in the centuries-old agricultural culture. They saw the adoption of Hamilton’s three-pronged plan as an attack on their way of life in favour of the emerging, modern, industrial society of the North. These differences would propel Hamilton to the leadership of the Federalists Party which favoured a stronger central government. Jefferson became the father of the Republican Party, which strongly advocated individual State rights. Hamilton from the North and Jefferson from the South marked the division that would eventually cleft the nation during the Civil War.

The differences and infighting between the two men provoked Washington to initially reject the thought of a second term. But seeing the importance of retaining him in office, both men, Jefferson and Hamilton, tempered their rhetoric long enough to persuade Washington to allow his name to be placed in nomination. As before, he was unanimously elected, and soon confronted two crises, one domestic and one foreign.
