So about how enacting the duel was a defense of his honor against Hamilton Slandering him in the election via Congress which cause Burr to lose the election to Jefferson.

False Image[edit]

In 1804 - during the Regency - people where not dressed in tricornes and justaucorps. In all propability, an image with out of fashion dress, and a source that is untraceable, the original of this image, does NOT portray the Hamilton-Burr duel.

Note how the man is dressed!
I noticed that as well. This looks much more like a depiction of an event taking place around 1750-1770s. However, since the original image seems to be from around 1902, it could be that the artist was just misinformed regarding clothes of the era. --Saddhiyama (talk) 09:03, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The artist has also decided that they did not take their proper paces, which is unlikely, and also that the duel did not take place in the middle of summer. --Spacepotatoes (talk) 03:26, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
