c-span: what about alexander hamilton and thomas jefferson? if they were sitting here today and we're having these discussions, would they differ on anything? >> guest: obviously, they differed. but i--one of the--i think one of the most misleading characterizations of the founders is to focus on their differences. there were tremendous battles that took place during the founding area, jefferson vs. hamilton and so on. but those battles were over questions of how to implement a government that will protect the rights of man. everybody agreed on what the purpose of government was: securing human rights, securing property rights. the disagreement was: what should the role of government be in these relatively tangential areas or less-fundamental areas like, you know, 'should there be a national bank? to what extent should government try to--actively to promote commerce? or should it just leave the economy free to develop on its own?' these arguments, which were huge battles back then, from the point of view of today, look like minor squabbles bec

in fact on my way into the studio this more than i was remembering thomas jefferson's words when hi was inaugurated, we're all federalists, we're all democrats, or all republicans, and he was speaking to this moment when there was such division in the country, and this is why history can be so instructive. he was peeking to this moment in 1801 when they had just come through a very, very mean and controversial election that was decided in the house of representatives, and he wanted to speak to this idea that we were all americans again, and certainly that's kind of the way i wish we would feel after the storm and the aftermath of that. so, we can learn from these moments. americans are very good at coming together. doesn't feel that way right now. in the midst of this election but we also have this extraordinary moment where we had a crisis and a moment of division butting heads against each other, and i'm hopeful that we can learn from our history and see that americans do respond to a crisis like this. >> host: as kenneth davis alluded to, the reason he is in new york and booktv is ba
