Alexander Hamilton did not fully support the Louisiana Purchase. He was concerned about the potential expansion of slavery and the increase in the power of the southern states, which could undermine federal authority. Additionally, Hamilton favored a strong central government and was wary of the implications of adding such a vast territory without clear constitutional authority. His concerns were part of broader debates among the Federalists regarding the implications of westward expansion.
