Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr Dueled to the Death July 11, 1804. On the morning of July 11, 1804, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr raised their dueling pistols and took aim. Hamilton, the former secretary of the treasury, and Vice President Burr were longstanding political rivals and personal enemies.
Hamiltonâs influence caused Burr to be defeated. Before the 1804 election, Alexander Hamilton threatened to withdraw from the Federalist Party if it chose Vice President Aaron Burr as its presidential candidate. When Aaron Burr later ran for governor of New York, Alexander Hamiltonâs influence again led to his defeat. Hamilton considered Burr a political opportunist, declaring: âI feel it is a religious duty to oppose his career.â Aaron Burr took offense and challenged Hamilton to a duel. Considered the most famous duel in American history, they met on the morning of July 11, 1804, at the dueling grounds near Weehawken, New Jersey. Burr shot and mortally wounding Hamilton in the stomach. The duel ended Burrâs career and ended Hamiltonâs life.
