Virtual Parlor Chat: Gentlemanly Politics
Could the scandalous culmination of the bitterest rivalry of all Founding Fathers really be the reason the new democratic government of the United States survived?
This presentation commemorates the 220th anniversary of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton’s duel in Weehawken, New Jersey. Dr. Jason Opal (Dean and Director of the Ohio State University’s Mansfield Campus) joins Mansion staff to discuss the impact of the battle between United States Senator Burr (second husband of our own Eliza Jumel) and Secretary of the Treasury Hamilton on an emerging political system in post-Revolution America.

    I loved this talk. I think that more research should be done on Dutch culture, society, and their extensive enterprise of slavery during the 1700s. I think that about English vs. Dutch division of property, which was really obvious in your back-and-forth discussion, should be off-limits. I think that just saying you 'don't know and it needs further research' is the best answer and has integrity. Otherwise, it sounds fake and gossipy, which it did. Otherwise, I learned a lot.

    Madam Jumel was famous in our house lol My Mom envied her for having the largest home with land in our neighborhood. My grandmother would chime in to make sure we "marry the right man and you'll get a house like this too" Yes they're old fashioned but wen I found out Madam Jumel existed in another century, which no one told us, I couldn't stop laughing. Wen we visited they made it sound like Madam was out for the day, and I remember asking, well can we wait for her? I wanted her 2know I didnt play or mess up anything in her big nice house lol

    This was marvelous. I visited the mansion a few years ago, and enjoyed it greatly. It does have a "vibe" to it, that I enjoyed very much. As an Aaron Burr fan, I was particularly interested in seeing the mansion. I bought the Nancy Isenberg book there, "Fallen Founder." It was enjoyable in that it basically portrayed him in a rather fairer light, with many footnotes. This discussion was superb. I loved the references to the hauntings, from the Hessian soldier to the ladies in the lower level, to the shady figure on the front porch to the old story about Eliza coming out to scold the kids. I hope to come back to the house as soon as it re-opens.
