Tibbits' Boys: A History of the 21st New York Cavalry Book

Very informative reading! The editor of the series (American Statesmen Series) says in his note that the author (Henry C Lodge) is the descendant of an intimate friend of Hamilton!

In today's political climate, with so many wanting to do away with the Electoral College (because it's not democratic) it's great to learn why it was instituted - Hamilton's hatred of democracy, with France's revolution an indicator of what happens when democracy is instituted (anarchy!) is emphasized. Hamilton had a lot to do with the way our country is managed, or at least, how it was set up to be managed. Much has deteriorated since his death.

Another interesting fact given is that in defense of the Constitution against democracy, he encourages the formation of an association, "The Christian constitutional Society" to support Christian religion & the Constitution of the United States! Where do people get the idea that the US was not founded on Christian principles?
