Throughout history there have been a slew of dickheads. You know it, I know it. Today the History Channel will be looking at one of the biggest dickheads in American History. Aaron Burr.
@Blender332 That's not true, you failure. If you'd done any research at all, you'd know that the hair triggers were part of the gun's original design, and while Burr didn't know about it, Hamilton told his second not to set the hair triggers as it wouldn't be fair. Hamilton was not the 'pompous ass' antifederalists brought him down to be.
First of all, revolvers? what the fuck? secondly, everyone hated hamilton. He was a pompous ass that had the potential to run the country into the ground. Thirdly, Burr's intention was not to kill Hamilton, but Hamilton hair-triggered the pistols. Burr, not expecting this, fired accidentally before he could properly aim.
@danning1 Exactly. Benedict Arnold was the true hero of Saratoga, even the British thought that so. Unfortunately, he didn't get the credit for the victory, instead it went ot Gates.
@MetaRoland I don't think this video is being serious at all. In fact, I think the makers of the video might even feel Burr's vilification in American history is unfair and are sort of poking fun at that.
Both Benedict Arnold and (especially) Aaron Burr were not the great early American villains that some history books make them out to be. Both men had greatness of character as well as significant flaws. And both deserve to be understood rather than simplistically and unfairly dismissed as mere slimeballs. Peace.
that was awesome! if you ever make one on jefferson, let me know... lol

Aaron Burr was a good guy. His sin was that he ran afoul of Thomas Jefferson, who had the power and influence to destroy Burr.
