Hamilton left Washington’s staff in 1781, but returned to the army briefly later that year when Washington gave him a field command at the Battle of Yorktown.

After the war, Hamilton studied law, passed the New York bar and set up a practice as an attorney in New York City.

He famously made a six-hour speech about his own plan for a s...

Even beyond his bitter feuding with Jefferson, Hamilton’s combative personality and policy-making style brought him into frequent conflicts. According to historian Joanne Freeman, he was involved in no fewer than 10 affairs of honor (or near duels) before the notorious 1804 duel that took his life. Hamilton and Aaron Burr had been political opponen...
Largely sidelined in his role as vice president by Jefferson, Burr decided to run for governor of New York in 1804.
