We could have been talking about Vice President Aaron Burr, famous because he had a duel with the former Secretary of Treasury, Alexander Hamilton.
Hamilton had been accusing Burr years before and this created a bitter relationship that turned to hate, only solved by a death duel with guns. The duel happened on July 11, 1804. Burrs shot Hamilton and death wounded the former Secretary of the Treasury. People took the body of Hamilton and took it to the house of William Bayard Jr. Hamilton died the next day.
William Jennings Bryan’s major contribution to the American political policy was that he was able to help in pushing or making it possible for the party politics to be back to the economic arena and in addition, it was not from the divisions of the sectionalism.
