The differences were large, from their beginnings to their beliefs to their ends. Thomas Jefferson was born into an aristocratic family, much wealthier than Hamilton, who was an illegitimate immigrant from the West Indies. Jefferson was from Virginia and abhorred cities; Hamilton moved to New York and believed that cities and industry were the way to go. Jefferson hated conflict, Hamilton thrived on it. In politics, Jefferson was a strict constructionist, the leader of the Democratic-Republican party, and believed in a very weak central government. Hamilton was a loose constructionist, the leader of the Federalist party, and believed in a strong central government. These differences escalated and the two men ended up absolutely hating each other.
