I am Aaron Burr, I was an American politician, businessman, lawyer, and Founding Father who served as the third vice president of the United States from 1801 to 1805 during Thomas Jefferson's first presidential term. I founded the Manhattan Company on September 1, 1799. I am remembered for my famous personal and political conflict with Alexander Hamilton, which culminated in the Burr–Hamilton duel in Weehawken, New Jersey, on July 11, 1804. I mortally wounded Hamilton, who died from his wounds the following day.
