        Wisconsin wasn’t a state at the time. But your point was funny.

        Hamilton was great but he wasn't infallible.

        Certainly. He was a mixed bag of tremendous virtue and tremendous vice, like every founder was (to varying degrees).

        And to think Burr would kill Hamilton in a duel.

        This was one of the reasons leading to the duel

        I did not realize that. I thought it was cause he was stumping NY saying Burr was unworthy of the Governorship. It makes sense that this was a contributing factor.

        Read The Failure of The Founding Fathers by Bruce Ackerman which gives a blow by blow account including the never discussed Georgia issue.
