    Most of you know about the duel that ended Alexander Hamilton’s life. Ya know, the one with Aaron Burr. (raises fist and shouts angrily) Aaron Burr!
    But did you know Hamilton also got into a duel with a future President?
    It’s true. It all started when Hamilton had an affair with someone and then paid her husband after the husband blackmailed him about it. Well later the husband got in trouble for financial fraud, and some in Congress investigated Hamilton’s connection to it. One of those who investigated Hamilton was future President James Monroe.
    Jump ahead to 1797.
    That summer, Hamilton’s possible connection to the financial fraud was published to the whole country, and Hamilton blamed Monroe for the embarrassment. The two sent angry letters back and forth, and there was even a personal encounter where things got tense. Long story short. Things escalated so much that Monroe was about to officially challenge Hamilton to a duel when someone stepped in to prevent that from happening.
    So who stepped in to prevent Monroe from dueling Hamilton? Why no other than Aaron Burr himself.

    I actually knew that. And Hamilton wasn’t the only one who despised Monroe. Eliza blamed the publication of the Reynolds Pamphlet solely on Monroe and held a grudge against him for the rest of her life. Once Monroe sought to “break the ice” between them and she originally refused to let him in (though people typically respected Monroe for being president). When Eliza finally let him in, she refused to offer him a seat and didn’t even shake his hand. She demanded he apologize for his “misrepresentation” of her husband and the slanders he had casted upon him. Monroe, stunned, muttered an apology and quietly took his leave never to bother the poor widow again

I should've known the world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me" Those lines show the regret that Burr had. I hope this helped.@@HamiltonReally

      Actually, the first hand testimony of the seconds at the duel state that both shots were fired nearly simultaneously, though they disagree on which shot was fired first. On top of that, Hamilton hit a tree that was behind Burr. Even if Hamilton had not intended to hit Burr, Burr would have had no way of knowing that when Hamilton aimed at him. This is especially true since "throwing away your shot" in a duel does not actually involve firing your gun in the air, as the musical describes. It instead involves holding the gun out to the side and firing it into the ground.
      Historians disagree on whether Hamilton actually intended on shooting Burr, or whether he was attempting a suicide via duel, but it is clear Hamilton did everything he could to make Burr believe he intended to shoot to kill.
      This is one of several major historical inaccuracies from the play that mainly serve to paint Hamilton as more of a hero and Burr as more of a villain.

    According to Mysteries of the Museum, there were times Hamilton and Burr did had to work together. Worse example was when Hamilton turned to Burr to help get a bill pass to get money for better water systems in New York so the people don't have to rely on contaminated wells. Burr did agree to get the Bill pass and succeeded but not before creating a loophole behind Hamilton's back that lets Burr keep majority of the money and decide how the water system set up, which was just adding more wells that weren't safe to drink from. Needless to say when Hamilton found out, he wasn't too happy with Burr.
