Eventually, one of these letters was made public and Burr took great offense to it. He demanded that Hamilton retract the statements, even though Hamilton himself had never made the public. They were intended to be kept private. Hamilton refused to take any action. Burr continued to demand that Hamilton take back his slanderous statements, but Hamilton would not, so Burr challenged him to a duel.Hamilton had his choice of weapons, so he chose a special pair of dueling pistols of his own.
