How old is your Hazel Atlas jam jar?

The maker's mark is the easiest way. Usually, the marks are embossed at the base of the vessel along with other letters and/or numbers, which generally refer to mold numbers/forms. If the mark has an "A" inside of a "H" the piece dates from around 1920-1964. If the piece has "HAZEL" as the maker's mark, then it probably dates to around 1886-1902. "HAZEL-ATLAS" marks were used from 1902-1964. "E-Z SEAL" marks were used from 1896-1964. Finally, "E D J SEAL" marks were used around 1910. You can get more specific dates if you know when particular were being produced at different manufacturing locals. Likewise, if other areas around the vessel are embossed (e.g. "McCormick and Co." embossed near a bottles base) this can lead you to tighter dates. Sometimes the color of the glass ware will be useful as well. Generally, amethyst glass ceased to be produced around 1910 (I think!?), but other colors might have limited runs in association with specific forms/products. You'd have to do your research to find out about these possibilities.

There is a Hazel Atlas pricing guide that you can get on amazon.com for pretty cheap. This might be of assistance. Likewise, a book entitled "Bottle Makers and their Marks" by Julian Harrison Toulouse is a good book to have on your shelf.

James Madison and Alexander Hamilton worked together on the Federalists papers along with John Jay.

Hamilton was the first Secretary of Treasury under George Washington. He also started the first national bank. He wanted a relationship with England, a strong central government and greatly opposed Jefferson's vision for an agrarian nation. He also supported the idea of a flexible constitution. He was killed by the third vice president, Aaron Burr, in a duel. He ran against Burr in an election and there was much conflict between the two. Burr challenged Hamilton. Hamilton was honorable and excepted, even though his belief system did not allow him to kill another man. Hamilton went knowing he was going to die and never even shot at Aaron Burr.

What was James Jackson's view on slavery?

He was very racist and he was a slave owner so I think he highly supported slavery.

Well, he confessed, "I can say with truth mine is a situation of dignified slavery.", yet he was a bit different from a mere slave owner. According to historical evidences, Jackson first adopted his Creek Indian son, Lyncoya on November 13, 1813, while later he contiguously purchased Aaron and Hannah each in 1791 and 1794, named the three of them "Jackson" as a part of his family. To defend personally, Jackson most likely considered his slaves as "poor workers" instead of "inferior people", he had them working for him because he needed them, while this should be reasonable for a man liked him who held a belief in equal individual rights. Therefore, unjust actions he took such as Indian Removal could be clarified as what Jackson had to do in a position of president, facing the public, the millions of people who would never be satisfied; Jackson seemed realizing the fact way early before his election of 1899, claiming, "I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life."
