Who was aaron brr? who was his wife? why did aaron brr shoot alexander hamilton?

answer: aaron burr was an american politician and lawyer. he was the third vice president of the united states (1801–1805), serving during president thomas jefferson's first term. aaron burr’s wife was theodosia bartow burr, was an american patriot. raised by a single mother. aaron burr shot alexander hamilton because aaron burr and alexander hamilton were political and personal enemies. this was very well known to most of the public at large. they disliked each other's philosophy on the new us government and disliked each other personally. they each considered one another to be traitors to the causes fought for in the revolutionary war.

hamilton expressed many of his personal feelings against burr in private correspondence to his friends. eventually, one of these letters was made public and burr took great offense to it. he demanded that hamilton retract the statements, even though hamilton himself had never made the public. they were intended to be kept private. hamilton refused to take any action. burr continued to demand that hamilton take back his slanderous statements, but hamilton would not, so burr challenged him to a duel.

hamilton had his choice of weapons, so he chose a special pair of dueling pistols of his own. the story gets murky here and it is not as simple as burr being the bad guy and hamilton being the good guy.
