Burr believed that Hamilton was the sole detriment to the rise of his political career, namely. Hamilton had intervened, for Jefferson, in the nasty election of 1800, and had also intervened in the race for the governor of New York later. Both times, Hamilton had ruined Burr's chances. This animosity led Burr to kill Hamilton in 1804.

Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr fought a "gentlemens'" duel in New Jersey, across the Hudson River from New York City. Dueling was illegal in New York, so New Jersey was the selected location.Hamilton refused to fire his pistol, Burr shot Hamilton. The bullet hit his liver and he died a painful death in NY. His grave is the Trinity Church on Broadway.
