A legacy is what a person leaves behind for future generations to have. It is hard to decide between two great men , Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, which one had left the greater legacy.

I support Alexander Hamilton because of his mind and economy. His idea of a strong country is that they have a strong business relationship and allies with around the world. Alex educating men and women to be successful. The economy would have to depend on agriculture, trade, and finance. He also wanted a national bank which would increase our relationship with other countries and unlike Jefferson he didn’t believe in slavery. Thomas Jefferson had about 200 slaves.

People may disagree to his restrictions to freedom of speech but I agree that you if you don’t have anything good to say don’t open your mouth. He believes that you should be respectful with your words because speech can cause a big conflict, but actions speak louder than words and he fought to be a free individual country from Britain by participating in the war.

Taxing is important to support a federal army and is greatly needed and spread throughout the country. We need a federal army to protect ourselves in case of war and corruption. A bunch of minute men and militias aren’t going to be enough. It was proven by Shay’s rebellion and if our army/navy can’t defend us in a rebellion how are they supposed to defend us in a war. That’s also why taxing is important, to feed and supply our troops.

Alexander has left behind the biggest legacy because we support it the most. Our economy continues to grow because of him and his actions.

I agree that Alexander Hamilton left more of a legacy behind because of his idea of a strong economy that we have now today, and was against slavery.
