Jefferson – Assess the accuracy of this statement "In recent years, Hamilton and his reputation have decidedly gained the initiative among scholars who portray him as the visionary architect of the modern liberal capitalist economy. Jefferson and his allies, by contrast, have come across as naïve, dreamy idealists. The Jeffersonians were reactionary utopians who resisted the onrush of capitalist modernity in hopes of turning America into a yeoman farmers' arcadia. At worst, they were proslavery racists who wish to expand the institution of slavery and protect slaveholders' rights to own human property.“ – Historian Sean Wilentz
