The great divide by thomas fleming6/27/2023 On the other hand, Jefferson preferred a confederation of states instead of a national government. Therefore he preferred a strong federal government that could provide a strong military defense for the country and a strong financial foundation for the country. Fleming states Washington beliefs came out of the problems he had as head of the Army, the problems of funding the Army and the country at the time. The basic debate between Washington and Jefferson is still an ongoing debate today on the role of government. I have always enjoyed Fleming’s passion for history. I have even had correspondence with him regarding one of his books in the past. In the past I have read a number of his books both non-fiction and fiction. Thomas Fleming is an author I have not read in the past five plus years.
