The duel didn't kill him. Aaron Burr did. The duel was just the circumstance. He didn't shoot at Burr to kill, but the return fire was on the mark.

And the circumstances suggest that Burr may not have even been aiming at Hamilton. Those pistols fire wildly all the time. Accuracy was not a feature of those guns.

It's all speculation now, but they were political enemies, and Burr made the challenge. Burr killed Hamilton. Burr was a traitor in many other ways. The parallels favor Burr's side = Trump's side.

Burr was definitely a narcissist. But the OP I responded to made it seem like the government had killed Hamilton and that's not the case. Hamilton made enemies and that's what got him killed. And he made enemies not because of where he was from but because of what he did to some people like Burr.

I've enjoyed this, but my original comment wasn't super serious. That said, Burr was worse than a narcissist.

No doubt. We actually know a lot more about Hamilton than we do about Burr.

What we do know is that he killed a founding father, was a traitor in other ways, and never paid for any of his crimes. Sound familiar?

That's a false equivalency.

Any historical parallel is.

Thats not accurate either.
