On this day in history 07/12/22. In 1804 former United States Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton dies after being shot in a pistol duel the previous day by Vice President Aaron Burr. The duel was the culmination of a bitter rivalry that had developed between both men who had become high-profile politicians in postcolonial America. In the duel on July 11, Burr fatally shot Hamilton, while Hamilton fired into a tree branch above and behind Burr’s head. Hamilton was taken back acrosd the Hudson River and died the following day in New York. The Burr–Hamilton duel is one of the most famous personal conflicts in American history. Tension rose with Hamilton’s journalistic defamation of Burr’s character during the 1804 New York gubernatorial race, in which Burr was a candidate. The death of Hamilton led to the permanent weakening of the Federalist Party and its demise in American domestic politics. It also effectively ended the political career of Burr, who was vilified for shooting Hamilton; he never held another high office after his tenure of vice president ended in 1805. Now you know.

Mass incarceration costs $182 billion a year in the United States. Imagine the peace we'd see if we invested that money in preventative programs and restorative justice practices. ~ @IlhanMN
