1. Hamilton argued for manufacturing on the ground that it would attract immigrants and employ women and children. What does this prediction tell us about the availability and condition of labor in the early America and about the attitudes of American leaders toward the work force? One of Hamilton’s key points in his passage On Manufactures pertains to the division of labor.
