8th graders will begin studying THE DUEL between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr when we return from Thanksgiving. We've mentioned it, you even know what year it happens...(you do know that correct????)...but what we've not studied yet, is what exactly caused it, and why they were willing to actually shoot each other. It is one of many fascinating stories about Aaron Burr, someone who too often is overlooked in the study of U.S. History.
Checkout this preview of the video that will tie into our study.
