    • @bwayfalsettos
      @bwayfalsettos 7 лет назад +126

      Hamilton did not actually point/shoot the sky, like the play shows. As Burr later on in his life confirms that Hamilton shot above his head and the evidence was that the bullet hit the tree behind him. (From Chernow's book)

    • @tomlloyd2603
      @tomlloyd2603 7 лет назад +84

      However, he made it clear prior to the duel in valedictory letters that he intended to miss the shot. Some speculate the reason the bullet hit where it did was an involuntary pull of the trigger from being shot, which led to the bullet going wide.

    Hamilton followed Burr, even after the former's death. In July 1833 he married Eliza Jumel, a wealthy woman 19 years younger than Burr. The marriage lasted four months when Eliza realized Burr was squandering her money in land speculations. She filed for divorce. The lawyer she appointed to represent her was Alexander Hamilton Jr., his rival's second son.

      Hamilton was smart and an intellectual from his drive within. Burr was culturally with no responsibility for it. He was positioned and had nothing to lose but his reputation, his cultural identity was more important to Burr than his character. The man who died, won, while losing everything Burr felt valuable. Burr gambled with life that day, murder in his heart. His squandering and gambling away his wife’s assets was one more act on the stacks of poor character that Hamilton saw. Regardless of Hamilton’s views, his opposition to Burr was rooted in his aversion to offering power to corrupt men of poor character.

    • @fishhuntadventure
      @fishhuntadventure 8 месяцев назад

      I thought I posted this but I can’t see it. Take two…
      We don’t know definitely what happened. Hamilton- as a superior strategist and humanitarian at the core- may have ‘pulled’ his shot intentionally (as the clip suggests) gambling on the fact that the high likelihood of that he who fired first would not have his bullet find its target. This would have the effect of exonerating Hamilton of wrongdoing and cement his position.
      If he indeed “pulled his shot” - and we’ll never know - it is also ponderously curious if he had thoughts of being a martyr where he intellectualized the public consequences for Burr should Burr prevail in the duel.
      Hamilton, interestingly, was not the only American public figure of the era to die after a duel. But he may have been the only one to engage in such risky behavior for reasons other than ‘defending one’s honor’ (sic).

    I watched the Hamilton musical with my family this past 4th of July and did some research on my own the next day and I find the duel very intriguing. I mean, this Hamilton-Burr duel was just a culmination of their political rivalry. He got killed over an insult. And now Hamilton is known as the man who was a great lawyer. And Burr is known as a murderer. Serves him right. He should've thought twice before going on with the duel.

      I know that’s the play, but he was in reality selling out the country. Chk out “TheCrrptOriginsofCenBkngInAmer” lecture-worth the time I promise.

    We don't know for sure that Hamilton wasn't shooting to kill. For all I know, Hamilton might have written the letter saying that he'll miss the first shot as an insurance. In case he lose the duel (which he did), his letter will still be there to destroy Burr's reputation.

    Despite being a huge Hamilton fan, history has always been my thing and since listening to the musical I’ve looked up about the duels being illegal and it’s just so interesting because it really shows the culture and justice system at the time was so much different to nowadays.
