Aaron Burr Jr. was an influential American politician, businessman, lawyer, and Founding Father. He served as the third vice president of the United States from 1801 to 1805 during Thomas Jefferson's first term. Burr is perhaps best known for his notorious rivalry with Alexander Hamilton, which culminated in the deadly duel in Weehawken, New Jersey, on July 11, 1804, where Burr fatally wounded Hamilton, who succumbed to his injuries the next day.
