Zijn werken verkennen de instellingen en processen die de zuidelijke staten hebben gevormd, vaak door middel van nauwgezet historisch onderzoek. Hamiltons aanpak was analytisch, gericht op het documenteren en interpreteren van historische feiten. Zijn bijdragen bieden waardevolle inzichten in de juridische en sociale ontwikkeling van zijn geboortestreek.
