Aaron Burr was known as a “Benedict Arnold” in the politics of the United States of America as he constantly switched from political party to another as a helper, aiding depleting political parties. At the same time, though, many saw him as a political backstabber. One of these people included Alexander Hamilton, who constantly criticized Burr calling him “unprincipled”. This eventually resulted in a duel, declared by Burr, against Hamilton, since Burr was upset from the degradation he received and the only way to handle this was through dueling. Burr ended up murdering Hamilton, and straight away, he faced cruel backlash. Normally when dueling occurred, fatalities were rare, furthermore, it is not know that killing Hamilton was Burr’s intent.
