When Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers, is mentioned, he is immediately associated with his work as the first Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, his avid support of the Federalists, his aid in the creation of American currency and the national treasury, and his undoubted conviction to uphold his ideals.

Who fired first was and still is not clear, but Hamilton was mortally wounded by the encounter. Why did these men have such a strong dispute that made them…
