A bit of history, anyone?

There was quite a bit of animosity between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. It stemmed not only from political differences but personal as well. I think it was Burr who challenged Hamilton to the duel which took place in 1804 in NJ. Although Burr was charged with two counts of murder neither went to trial. It was a nasty time period and the duel was the accumulation of a whole lot of bad feelings between the two founding fathers.
