Aaron Burr was born on February 6, 1756 in Newark, New Jersey. He was the son of Aaron Burr Sr. and Esther Burr. His parents died in 1757, leaving him and his younger sister orphans. Years later, he was sent to live with the family of William Shippen, an American physician from Philadelphia. Burr and his sister were then sent to live with their uncle where they spent the remainder of their childhood. Burr attended the College of New Jersey, now known as Princeton University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at age 16. He later studied theology, but soon changed career paths and began studying law. Burr studied law for a while, but then the Revolutionary War came and he admitted the war and participated in Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec. “He later rose to the rank of major and was appointed to serve under George Washington at his home in New York.” He was eventually transferred and retired in 1779. A few years later, Burr continued his law studies and was admitted to the bar. He eventually opened his own practice and moved to New York. In 1789 he became attorney general of New York. In 1791, Burr became Senate and remained there for six years. He later won a seat in the state legislature, but after losing his seat, he decided to run for president. Burr eventually lost to Thomas Jefferson and became his vice president. In 1804 he was nominated for governor of New York, but lost. 1For every defeat Burr suffered, he continually blamed Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton constantly broadcasts Burr's name in the media. He thought Hamilton had ruined his reputation. “One newspaper reported that Hamilton had described the vice president as 'a dangerous man and one who should not be...in the middle of the newspaper...it is evident that Burr was found not guilty and released.' Jefferson was very upset. He said: “It now seems we have no law except the will of the judge. » Burr moved to Europe but returned a few years later to live in New York where he began practicing law again. Burr's political life was completely over. Alexander Hamilton might have been right. Burr couldn't be trusted, and no one trusted him. He later remarried but soon divorced. In 1834, Burr then suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed. In 1836, Burr died. 2Aaron Burr was a very busy man throughout his life, he was involved in a lot of things, and he did nothing but serve his country. Everything was going well for Burr despite all the nastiness published in the media about him by Alexander Hamilton. Her career took a nosedive after killing Alexander Hamilton and she never came back from there.
