A. Great question! When I focus on this, I get there is a huge element of political motivation behind this argument. Hamilton and Burr had strong opinions in their beliefs and how they wanted the country to go. Tensions were high between these two far before that fateful day. I see that many people stood behind Burr in wanting to go the direction of a Republican-Democratic country. Other people wanted a strong government with a healthy relationship with England. The Federalists, supported by Hamilton, were the first real party and focused highly on how to obtain and secure a strong economy.
I don't see the duel was a result of a manipulation, but the anger Burr held made him look for an opportunity to get at Hamilton. The two had a lot of history, but when the two men shared a personal disagreement over some comments (the straw that broke the camels back so to speak), Burr quickly took on the challenge for a duel. Burr had enough of Hamilton.
Once Hamilton was killed in the duel, the Federalist party slowly dwindled. People may align with the principles behind the Federalists, but a more Republican/Democratic party system emerged and was promoted. When I think about the parties, I see the Federalist party focused on building a nation and preserving it's strength. The Rep/Dem is more about a division of classes. The shift became the people, and what the government could and should do, versus combining efforts and working to secure a nation.
I get that one of the main bloodlines was really driving this (I want to say Rockefeller??). The shift was to change the goal from the collective, to the individual person (what are they getting and how does government effect them personally). When emotions are involved, people are more easily swayed. Manufacture a hardship and then be the solution- and that has been the motive ever since. The Powers That Were understood psychology even during this time.
I see that it wasn't necessarily a plot within government, but a plot with the government (working alongside). Truly evil doers don't show their faces, they play coy as if they are in this hardship or challenge too. They use their disassociation to look innocent all the while paying people off and forming alliances. I see that even then, that type of activity existed.
And that is all I have for this reading. Thank you. Love and light, Lynn

Thanks, Lynn.
Was Burr the better marksman or did someone sabotage Hamilton's pistol? It all seems to. convenient, Hamilton's death by duel that changes the course of our Country's political system. Never wanted to look into the popular play that seemed like the typical blatant attempt to rewrite history, but this read might make me take a second look. I vote more looks by Lynn into pivotal but maybe suspicious historical events like this.
@Cathari: You are most welcome.
@Robert: I didn't get that Hamilton had issues with the gun, but I did feel like Burr did somehow cheat. Almost like in a scenario where people go 1, 2, 3 "go!" but Burr went on 2. It did feel like Burr knew he was going to kill Hamilton going into this.
Just want to offer up a quote from a book I own which has been sitting untouched on crowded shelves till recently:
Aaron Burr's New York organization had provided the margin of victory for the democratic-Republicans in the 1800 national elections. But Burr had been immediately isolated within the administration by president Jefferson ( though
never by Treasury Secretary Gallatin ), and he was to be dropped from the re-election ticket in 1804. Burr's place as Vice-President was to be taken by New York Governor George Clinton.
The plan of the pro-British party was now to elect Aaron Burr governor of New York, where he was to lead that state, and possibly New Jersey and Pennsylvania, out of the Union along with the otherwise weak New England states.
Again, Alexander Hamilton plunged in with passionate intensity at the crucial moment, denouncing Burr; and though his own Federalist Party endorsed Burr for governor, Hamilton called for the election of his Republican opponent. By
pulling out all the stops, by ignoring all the niceties, Hamilton managed to disturb enough otherwise sleepy people that Burr was soundly defeated.
All irrelevant "psychological" explanations aside, the plain fact was that Burr could accomplish little to the detriment of the United States from this point on if Alexander Hamilton remained alive. So Burr killed him.
Why Hamilton went along with the duel proposed by Burr---whether to accommodate "popular prejudices," as Hamilton's last writings indicate, or as a deliberate self sacrifice calculated to end Burr's career, or as a blind action based on Burr's
manipulation of some weakness in Hamilton's character---or whether Hamilton really intended to win the duel had his gun not misfired, as some historians claim, may never be known. The fact remains however, that Aaron Burr killed Alexander
Hamilton, the founder of the independent economic system of the United States; and deliberately killing another person was then, as now, against the law, whether in a duel or otherwise. Burr should rightly have been punished for murder.
