What perspective did Hamilton and Burr have on duels?

English
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Hamilton wanted to avoid the duel, but politics left him no choice. If he admitted to Burr's charge, which was substantially true, he would lose his honor. If he refused to duel, the result would be the same. Either way, his political career would be over.

Explanation:

I have seen Hamilton (the musical) and have further dived into Hamilton's history.

According to benvolio who started the fight
Gre4nikov [31]
This is what Benvolio says (talking to Montague).

"Here were the servants of your adversary,
And yours, close fighting ere I did approach:
I drew to part them: in the instant came
The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,
Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,
He swung about his head and cut the winds,
Who nothing hurt withal hiss'd him in scorn:
While we were interchanging thrusts and blows,
Came more and more and fought on part and part,
Till the prince came, who parted either part".

What actually happened was that Sampson and Gregory (Capulet servants) intended to provoke some of Montague's men into a fight. With Sampson biting his thumb, a verbal argument soon escalates into a fight between the parties. Benvolio then comes along sees the fight and tries to stop it by beating down their swords, using his own to do so. Tybalt then comes along and seeing Benvolio with a drawn sword, attacks. The fight then escalates further with the general citizenry joining in.

Therefore doing a quick precis of Benvolio's words - I saw your servants and those of your adversary (Capulet) fighting. I drew my sword to try and stop them. At that very moment, Tybalt appeared and seeing my drawn sword attacked. I asked him to cease, but he defied this request and wouldn't stop, expessing scorn for Montagues. We were skirmishing, and then more and more of the general citizens joined in, escalating a small disturbance into a major melee until the prince stepped in and stopped it..

Read the passage, then answer the question that follows.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

He makes a concession about imperialism, showing both sides of the argument.

He uses an appeal to emotion with words like honor and sacrifice to stir nationalism.

He cites evidence of winning the recent war to show that people still sacrifice for the empire.

Explanation:

Joseph Chamberlain presents his argument with emotions, evidence and logic. He presents the picture of both sides of the argument and builds a thinking among the audience about imperialism. He also tries to bring emotion and encourage the sense of nationalism among the audience. The use of certain words helps him to make his argument more appealing to the audience. He also had provided the example of sacrifice from the people's end that had brought good results in the past. By doing so he presents his argument with more zeal and appeal.
