Question

What is Hamilton finally able to do in "My Shot?"

Answer 1

Answer:

As he stood facing Burr, Hamilton aimed his pistol and then asked for a moment to put on spectacles. Hamilton, however, had already told confidants and made clear in valedictory letters that he intended to throw away his shot, possibly by purposefully shooting wide of Burr. ... In any case, Hamilton missed; Burr didn't.
