what was at stake in the disagreement and duel between Burr and Hamilton?
Burr and hamilton duel
Burr and hamilton duel
There was of course somebody's life (Hamilton died). This hurt the federalist party but made Burr a political pariah. I think there was really just a matter of honour at stake as well. Burr felt slighted by Hamilton. Hamilton refused to apologize hence the duel.
