Their views were very different. After consolidating all the US foreign debt, the national debt and the state's debts (largely war costs), Hamilton saw the loans from Europe at 4 % instead of 6% as a breather for a few years while to give a chance for our economy to develop. He had set up a 'sinking fund' which was responsible for paying it off.
Jefferson abhorred a national debt and it was a very high priority to pay it off ASAP. Very noble but then we had no money available to keep our security strong at home and Britain was tempted to take advantage and thus led us to the War of 1812-14. Jefferson did not understand finances.
Jefferson also detested banks, the stock market, and manufacturing. He did not understand the value of their contribution. He denigrated Hamilton and his economic system. His first objective when he became president was to have his Secretary of Treasury, the esteemed Swiss Albert Gallatin, review all Hamilton's systems and root them out of being! After the review was done, Jefferson was told that the system was perfect and if you removed one part it would all fail. Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe all benefited from Hamilton's economic system throughout their 24 years of Presidencies.
The ironic thing is that Jefferson was only able to purchase the Louisiana Territory because of Hamilton's financial credit success. Most of it was obtained through European lenders.
Jefferson wanted to pay off the debt; Hamilton did not
Thomas Jefferson's administration wanted to explore the Louisiana Territory that had been purchased from France in 1803. There was little first-hand knowledge of the vast reaches of the northwest, other than that there were several tribes of Native Americans living there, who had conducted trade with French trappers from Canada.
The French Revolution had no direct effect on the United States. A new country, the US had sufficient teething problems organizing and financing their new democracy, and the turmoil in France had no effect. However, after the Revolution, when Napoleon returned to power and fought the English, it gave Jefferson's reconstituted US Navy the opportunity to support the US Marines in the early fight against the Barbary pirates in the Mediteranian.
Federalists supported the acts. Democratic Republicans opposed them.
