Introduction
The history of printing in America can be viewed at a perspective of the great American writers such as Ben Franklin, in the 18th century. In the earliest fifty years after the invention, the world had become an essential part of the western culture; hence anytime the European pioneers ventured, there was an assurance of a follow up by the printing press.
The first American-printed book, therefore, was handed over in Mexico in 1536. The Spanish Viceroy Mendoza gave an order that the Jesuit missionaries published this first article. The printing project that followed was ranked better than the initial one, although later editions survived in larger quantities. This fact proves that the printing industry in the colonies of Spain flourished after the early years. In 1638, a printing press was launched in Cambridge with the aim of provision of reading materials the sake of spiritual learning of the colonists.
Through the efforts of William Bradford, a master printer was availed to the industry and this enhanced massive production of religious publications. Since newspapers were a crucial part of colonial life, the British rulers, as well as the colonists, employed the press to spread news amongst the citizens. The Walden font company is hoping to develop printing tradition by offering means to any person willing to print real colonial-era articles.
During the 1786 war between Britain and America, despite being fully equipped for the war, Britain ended up losing the battle.

The war that erupted in 1775 caught the British in inadequate preparations. Amongst the factors that led to the defeat are;
Lack of a firm purpose in waging war, as the British military personnel failed to create favorable postwar relations. Britain underestimated the Americans, as they believed that the Americans would give up their resistance to the arrival of Britain’s troops in America. Britain’s royal ministry had huge debts (Goldfield, 1531). Therefore, it is hard to wage war economically, a factor that resulted in shortcuts that led to defeat. The communication, as well as a transport network for Britain, was down economically and undeveloped. This brought unnecessary delays and poor coordination. The application of foreign mercenaries attested to a useful propaganda fighting tool for the colonialists. The foreigners were seen as hired killers to destroy the king’s people. These factors among many others caused the ultimate defeat of the British in the war.
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, have deferent ideas and views as pertains to the government. Among these differences are; while Jefferson believed that the states should be stronger, Hamilton held that the government should be a well-built where the Blacks were equally able as natives. Contrary, Jefferson figured Blacks as weak both in body structure as well as the mind. Hamilton strongly supported the election of senators and presidents for life, while Jefferson suggested that the election of leaders in authority should be temporal. While Jefferson owned slaves and strongly supported the institution, Hamilton proposed the liberation of the slaves and providing them with the necessities to fight the British.
In conclusion, one of the mighty variations between Jefferson and Hamilton came about in how both of them chose to interpret the Necessary Clause, which was the US constitution. This was mainly on the formation of the laws necessary for the execution of powers.
