Abe Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton?

What are some of the differences in their political views? Which leader's views are most reflected in the United States today? If possible, support your answer with examples.
Abe Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton?
Both believed in a strong central government. Ham was one of the Federalists who supported a strong government at the time when the Constitution was being debated. Lincoln assumed a strong leadership in order to fight the South.


Hamilton had an important influence in creating a strong banking system. The Fed today would be perfectly to his liking.
