My Report -- Kirstin F.

Vice President (title)
Questions- (Write in left side of notebook, highlight in blue if on a computer.)

1. Who do you think Aaron Burr is? 2. What do you think happened to Alexander Hamilton?

Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton were born only around a year apart and were constantly in competition. Both always tried to top each other. No surprise that Aaron Burr shared Thomas Jefferson’s beliefs on how the new country should run which made him even more of Alexander Hamilton’s enemy. Any subject that involved the government of the United States Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr always butted heads.

In 1801 Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied in the 3rd Presidential election and it was up to the House of Representatives to choose who would be the United States’ new President. Alexander Hamilton dislike Aaron Burr so much that he sided with Thomas Jefferson in the tie but some of the Federalists still sided with Aaron. In the end Thomas Jefferson won this election. Even though they were for the same team, both being Democratic-Republicans, Thomas Jefferson treated Aaron Burr like trash. Jefferson hardly ever let Aaron Burr in on what he was planning for the government nor did he give Aaron Burr anything to do as a Vice President. His reason for doing this to Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson didn’t like that Aaron still had campaigned in the House of Representatives to be the third President when they had the tie in the election. In simple words Thomas Jefferson didn’t trust Aaron Burr anymore.

Somehow Aaron Burr lasted this treatment until 1804. The feud between Aaron and Alexander Hamilton continued throughout this time. Then it all exploded. Aaron knew that Thomas Jefferson wouldn’t want to run for Presidency with him again so instead he ran for Governor of New York. This election he lost and then he blamed it all on his campaign rivals. He also blamed Alexander Hamilton for his “political difficulties”. It didn’t help that Alexander Hamilton was always trying to make Aaron Burr look bad out of pure hate for him and had been succeeding at doing this for the past fifteen years.

The solution to this feud for both men was challenging each other for a duel. The duel was planned for July 11, 1804 in Weehawken, New Jersey. In the 1800’s dueling was illegal in Ney York as well as NEW JERSEY. The consequences in New York for having a duel were death but the consequences for having a duel in New Jersey weren’t as bad. Alexander Hamilton should have taken the hint since his son died from a duel years before. Nobody knows who shot the gun first but they do know that somewhere along the line Aaron Burr shot the gun at Alexander Hamilton and injured him badly. The next day Alexander Hamilton died at his home.

1805- Aaron Burr wanted more money and was trying to get that out of the western territories. He was never planning a rebellion against the United States but many thought he was. 1806- Burr has succeeded in making a man named Ohioan Harman Blennerhassett come with him. They have fifteen boats constructed and want to transport around 500 followers and by now Ohioan has spent a lot of money on this. The government heard of the rumor of Aaron Burr going against the United States. They send the army to arrest them and to stop all river traffic traveling down the rivers. Aaron was then arrested and charged for treason but was then found innocent. This changed the law’s definition of treason in the United States. He then never finished this “adventure”.

September 14, 1836- Aaron Burr died at 80 and is buried in Princeton, New Jersey.

Duel- An arranged battle that happened back in the olden days, where two people used weapons usually to settle a disagreement. Sometimes it can be a battle to the death
