No one knows specifically what Hamilton said. He and another man apparently remarked to a Dr. Cooper that they considered Burr too dangerous to run the government. Dr. Cooper stated that he could quote "still more despicable" statements Hamilton had made about Burr, but didn't.

Why did Hamilton and Burr duel?

There are many factors leading to the duel. There had been a bitter and long-standing political and personal hostility between Hamilton and Burr. Burr was what we call a "politician" today -- a person who will say and do whatever's likely to get him elected. Back then the aristocracy felt it was expected that leaders try to hold their belief of what was best for the fledgling nation above personal gain. Also, Burr was a member of the other political party and had published articles very critical of John Adams who was of the same party as Hamilton. Hamilton despised Burr and would say so publicly. Burr challenged the duel because he thought it would reestablish is failing political career. Hamilton did not want the fight but could not escape it without losing his honor, and hence his political career. There was an unspoken arrangement at the time that once each person had stood to the duel each could fire into the air and neither would be harmed. Hamilton did but Burr shot him dead.

What would have happened if Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr never dueled?

Probably nothing of any significance except that his sweet and loving wife, Elizabeth, would have lived out her 97 years with the man she loved. Alexander Hamilton's impact on the American economic system was on its way to being well entrenched at the time of his death. His system of using credit to create the perception of wealth lives on today, good or bad. Hamilton was a perpetual bluffer in terms of chivalry and dueling and had a tendency to pick fights that he did not intend to fight. This ploy worked fine up to the confrontation with Aaron Burr, a jackass of no particular accomplishment who decided to call the bluff. Anyway, Mr. Hamilton died a few days later, and Mr Burr lived on to become a disgruntled, unrepentent and still worthless and talentless bit of garbage that he was to start with. Mr. Hamilton had no shot at the presidency because of his admitted sexual affair, but he pretty much ran the country anyway. My answer is probably shallow; perhaps someone more studied in the subject can elaborate. Ray
