Was Alexander Hamilton a nationalist?

No. he simply had ideals that many of the other founders rejected and even despised. Rightly so because many of his ideas we are NOW following and its leading to the implosion of our country. For example, Alexander Hamilton was the first to suggest that a nation could indefinitly borrow from itself and effectively print money out of thin air, never having to repay that money. He said that the government could just keep spending money forever with no consequence. Later, those who started the Fed did so believing the same thing and much later John Maynard Keynes took Hamiltons ideas and made himself famous with them.

Hamilton was also much more in favor of a big government. Actually, his beliefs about money were just one way he tried to justify big government.

So can you see why people who ADAMANTLY believed in a decentralized and democratic system that was as far away from big government as to be, as Franklin put it, "one step away from anarchy" (because anarchy is very bad, but being close to it protects people from each other while providing as much personal freedom as possible) and who also believed in being as frugal as possible might have a few disagreements with such a man?

Is he a traitor to our nation? no. Is he a traitor to the fundamental principles behind the Constitution, yes, but the Constitution protects people with different viewpoints, so its not illegal.

The only way he could be considered a traitor in the legal sense is if you judge him by the standard Senator McCarthy judged people back during the red scare. Had hamilton been alive when McCarthy was, Hamilton most definitly would have been incarcerated....but what McCarthy did was just as unconstitutional as Hamiltons ideas. In effect McCarthy was using big government to arrest people who believed in big government.
