When did Alexander Hamilton died?

Answer 1

Hamilton was fatally shot by Aaron Burr in a duel.

Contrary to popular belief Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel, not the other way around. Burr thought Hamilton to be the sole detriment to his public career. Without Hamilton, he reasoned, he could achieve greatness.

On July 11, 1804, he shot Hamilton. Although historians today still argue about what actually happened on the ground, it's clear that Burr's shot, which came with such force that it ricocheted in Hamilton's stomach, splintering a vertebrae, proved mortal.

Hamilton died 31 hours later of those injuries, on July 12. Burr was indicted for murder in New Jersey, but the charges were dropped. However Burr would later be charged with treason...but that's another day's story.

Answer 2

Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr (Thomas Jefferson's vice president in 1800) really did not like each other. They hated each other and Hamilton would publish anti-Burr writings that would put down Aaron Burr. Burr had had enough and decided to challenge Hamilton to a duel. Hamilton, fearing the loss of his reputation if he were to decline, accepted and in the end was shot by Burr.

Answer 3

Alexander Hamilton was strictly against dueling, because his son had been killed in one. Despite this, he accepted a duel, being challenged by Aaron Burr, who wanted to be the governor of New York, though Hamilton was at the time.

Dueling rules: you stand 20 FEET away from each other and have 3 seconds to shoot. Hamilton made the decision beforehand to shoot up at a tree, but Burr had the exact opposite in mind. He immediately shot Hamilton, with Hamilton dying the next day.
