George Washington favored Hamilton over Jefferson because George and Hamilton were both Republicans
Burr and Hamilton hated each other and Burr was considered a "hot head".
Jefferson Davis was the Confederate President.
Matter of opinion. I'd say a close choice between Washington and Jefferson.
At first, Alexander Hamilton supported Charles Cotesworth Pinkney over the incumbent candidate President John Adams. Both Adams and Pinkney were members of the Federalist Party, but Adams had received the party's endorsement. Hamilton worked behind the scenes, attempting to manipulate the vote to favor Pinkney, but many saw through his politicking. As a result, neither Adams nor Pinkney won the election (Pinkney came in fourth); Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied with 73 electoral votes each.The Electoral College was unable to resolve the draw, so the US House of Representatives was called upon to make a final decision. At first, it appeared Burr would be the popular choice, but Hamilton hated Burr with a vengeance and decided to support Thomas Jefferson, whom he hated slightly less. Hamilton finally convinced enough members of the House that Burr was "dangerous" that the Presidency was awarded to Jefferson. Burr became Vice-President. Alexander Hamilton was quoted as saying, "At least Jefferson is honest."

Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr were the nominees pf the Republican party in 1800. Burr turned out to be a bad choice and caused a great deal of trouble.You must realize that Jefferson's party was not the same Republican party that exists today,Thomas Jefferson ran as a Republican against incumbent Federalist John Adams, but there were no running mates in those days. Jefferson won the election, Aaron Burr placed 2nd and became vice president, and Adams finished 3rd.
For domestic use, I recommend the Hamilton Beach 70550R. For commercial use, the Waring 1HP, is a better choice.
Jefferson was the people's choice.
Choice is better than select
Unintentionally, a good question! It was the Confederacy itself, not the army, that had a president (Jefferson Davis). There was no General-in-Chief until the final weeks of the war, when the job was given to the only possible choice, Robert E. Lee. Davis, however, was an ex-Regular officer who could claim a respectable record as a Colonel in the Mexican War, and he had hoped to be made General-in-Chief instead of President. So he kept trying to combine both roles, and feuding viciously with his Generals as he did so. It could indeed have been joked that he was President of the Army.
At the time, the winner of the election became President and whoever placed 2nd was VP. Jefferson placed 2nd behind Adams.
Jefferson was a totally obvious choice as a candidate. He was a leader in the revolutionary government from the beginning, doing everything but actually fight in the field of battle. He was known in the capitals of Europe and had served in Washington's cabinet as well as vice-president under Adams. He had had executive experience as the governor of Virginia. Moreover he was brilliant and honest.
