Duel of Arron Burr and Alexander Hamilton

My topic is about the duel that took place between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. My project will cover the events leading up to the duel, the duel, and then afterwards.

In 1800s Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were rivals in the 1800 and their rivalry continued over on to 1804 until they challenged each other to a duel.

This helped shape our future because politicians looked back at this and thought, “Maybe we shouldn’t settle our differences with killing.” As a result politicians stopped killing each other, instead they talked out their differences.

Throughout history there are tons of examples of politicians solving their problems with murder or for power. Many other leaders kill each other to gain control over their empires.

I picked this topic because it was interesting that after this duel american politicians changed the way they had their disagreements. I think that is is interesting because two american politicians could have hated each other so much that they could have killed each other.
