Alexander Hamilton - An Interview with Author Ron Chernow

The first administration of the new United States pitted Alexander Hamilton, a brilliant mind of Caribbean descent against the strong gentleman farmer Thomas Jefferson. As Treasury Secretary, Hamilton single-handedly developed the US into an economic powerhouse combining the capital and manufacturing of the Northeast with the farming of the South and West. An unabashed Federalist, Hamilton believed that the only way the US would survive its infancy was to develop a strong central government with the power needed to compete in the rest of the world.

In the following interview, Author Ron Chernow discusses several of the issues that we have also discussed in class. As you watch, answer the questions on the sheet the teacher has given you. Note that at any time, you can pause the interview to record your answers. Please turn in the questions at the end of class.

Online Textbook for Mac OS X work around

Issue: Are the Student Editions compatible with MAC OS X?

Solution: Running Acrobat Reader from within the Internet browser (Internet Explorer and Netscape) is not supported on MAC OS X. Using MAC OS 9.x or earlier will allow you to view the online student editions. Customers can try the PDF Browser Plug-In which is available from http://www.schubert-it.com/download/. There are different versions of the plug-in available for certain versions of Mac OS X. Because this is a third party plug-in, we cannot support the installation or use of this plug-in, nor can we guarantee that it will resolve the issue in all cases.
