While Alexander’s son Phillip did indeed die in a duel against George Eacker, the depiction of Eacker shooting early(at the count of 7) is entirely fabricated and ficitionalized. The written account we have of the incident states that “both men did not fire until a full minute AFTER the count of ten.” Phillip raised his pistol, prompting Eacker to do the same. Finally, Eacker shot first, the bullet penetrating Phillip’s hip and emerging from the left arm.
The bullet caused Phillip to spasm, and shoot off a bullet into the air. Historians are divided on if this meant Phillip was planning to “throw away his shot” the whole time, or if his famous “delope” was nothing more than a muscle spasm.

Washington: god I need help
Burr: sir I can help you

Wicked:
‘Someday there’ll be a celebration throughout Oz that’s all to do with me’
Heathers:

Dear Evan Hansen:
‘When you’ve fallen in a forest and there’s nobody around, did you ever really crash or even make a sound?’

After Broadway, no one really wants to know much else about him, because he is the villain. Judge how much of a villain you think he was after reading these ten fun facts about Aaron Burr’s life. Burr was an orphan at a…
WE KNOW - Hamilton
It’s three AM and I’m currently regreting my life choices. In any case, I made this in a day and I didn’t wanna keep going…. but just leaving it laying there wasn’t an option so here it is.
I’ll make more hamilton stuff because i love it, and also take more time to make it, damn me.
The similarities between Magnus Hammersmith and Aaron Burr are disturbing. Both feel they are the hero, while both are clearly the villain. But it is not until that final moment when either of them realize it, and then they are aligned with us the audience.
Me: I need to start getting things done and stop procrastinating.
Me to me: You need to listen to Hamilton again!
