The Jefferson
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were bitter political rivals. Hamilton thought Burr was dishonest, disreputable and dangerous, which may or may not have been the truth, but was certainly Hamilton's belief. Hamilton developed animosity toward Burr when Burr won election to Congress, beating Alexander Hamilton's father-in-law, Philip Schuyler, who was the incumbent. Hamilton carried a grudge, undermined Burr whenever the opportunity arose, and was determined to ruin Burr's political career. Alexander Hamilton supported Thomas Jefferson because he hated Jefferson slightly less than he hated Burr. When the results of the election were finalized, Hamilton said, "At least Jefferson is honest."
