The main reason why Burr is remembered is because he shot Alexander Hamilton in a duel in Weehawken. He also happened to be a Vice President, after being tied with Thomas Jefferson in the Presidential Election for which the House of Representatives had to vote on to break the tie. Although most people are familiar with the perception of Burr as a power hungry traitor, he was a Revolutionary War hero. After the death of Hamilton Burr's reputation was ruined and he resigned from his office and became involved in an alleged plot to raise an army and take over Mexico. He was tried several times, finally charged with treason by Jefferson and acquitted by chief justice John Marshall. He died in France.
