Burr, Aaron, 1756-1836
Aaron Burr Jr. (February 6, 1756 – September 14, 1836) was an American politician and lawyer. A Founding Father, he served as the third vice president of the United States during President Thomas Jefferson's first term from 1801 to 1805. His role in helping form the nation, however, would be overshadowed when he killed fellow Founding Father Alexander Hamilton in an 1804 duel. The duel led to the collapse of Burr's political career and tarnished his legacy in American history.
Burr was born to a prominent family in New Jersey, where he attended the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University. Amid Burr's law studies, he served as a Continental Army officer in the American Revolutionary War from 1775 until his resignation in 1779. After leaving the military, Burr returned to his law career in New York City.
