Hamilton wanted to build a fiscally strong Federal government. However, some of the Southern states rejected the assumption of state debt by this new government. In the Compromise of 1790, Hamilton got key southern supporters to agree to the debt assumption in exchange for locating the new national capital in the south. Without this agreement, the United States of American would likely not exist as it does today.
