Created and dominated
[Hamilton] created and dominated the Federalist Party

Huh? Nobody "created" the Federalist Party; it didn't have a founding convention or a recruitment list; it began as a caucus of officials already serving. It is equally peculiar to find Hamilton's relations to the party described as "domination". Usually the party Boss doesn't have to intrigue (largely unsuccessfully) against two of the party's nominations for high office, nor risk his life to secure a third; he picks himself and nobody argues - that's what dominate means.
