Aaron Burr as a Tragic Hero
[ send me this paper ]
Aaron Burr is known notoriously throughout the pages of U.S. history as the failed vice-President who slayed Alexander Hamilton in a duel and then fled. But in this insightful 20 page paper, the writer argues quite strongly that Burr was not by any means a villain nor is he deserving of the scorn that his name has suffered for so long. The paper contains a detailed overview of Burr's political activity both before and after the Hamilton incident and discusses logical reasons for us to believe that he was a 'good' politician who was victimized by the propaganda of others. The number of strong arguments cited are too numerous to list in this abstract ! Bibliography lists 8 sources.
