Program Description

Body

Aaron Burr was the third vice president of the newly formed United States of America, as well as a war hero of the Revolutionary War. However, his political career was destroyed after a famous, fatal duel in 1804, when he shot and killed his rival, Alexander Hamilton. Was the shooting intentional – or an accident? Henry Bowden will re-examine the evidence and allow the audience to draw their own conclusions.
