As we all know, Hamilton and Burr had the infamous duel that almost caused America to lose both illustrious men at the same day. Luckily for them, both guns misfired and hit nearby trees. Now, what if one of the guns fired correctly and hit the more important man fatally?

I'm sorry if this seems pedantic, but both guns misfired and the bullets hit the trees? How did this happen? Did the deulers take the bullets out, after their guns misfired and hurl them at trees?
Thanks, that point has been really puzzling me, it's a good thing they didn't throw them at each other, one of them could have been killed.No, the guns hit the nearby trees - the men threw them in frustration.
Cheers,

Burr found a way to die in pain OTL, maybe he saves the Republic some undue grief with earlier death. I disagree with your whitewashing of history sir, Burr was as noble as a butchered sow's head on a spit.

OOC: i just want to make sure I'm following this DBWI right. Both Hamilton and Burr survive the duel because the guns misfire (and presumably don't discharge after being thrown). In the DBWI context, is Hamilton the "more important man" revered to in the OP? I mean, I'm sure Aaron Burr has fans today, even ones that make sure they have milk with their peanut butter sandwiches.
