Alexander Hamilton: The Duel With Aaron Burr
Alexander Hamilton: The Duel With Aaron Burr
Description:
The antagonism between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr was mysterious. Why did Hamilton and Burr fatally meet at Weehawken on July 11, 1804 in the first place? Was it solely the political aftermath of the 1804 New York gubernatorial race, or were other factors involved? Evidence seems to indicate that the 1804 strife was only a climax, and that their antipathy had originated over twenty-five years earlier. When their family backgrounds, personal occupations, and national ambitions are taken into account, it becomes clear that Hamilton and Burr were on a collision course well before 1804.
