22. Vice President Of The United States, Aaron Burr, Killed Alexander Hamilton In A Duel

From 1801 to 1805, Aaron Burr held the position of Vice President of the United States under Thomas Jefferson. While Burr is best known for killing Founding Father Alexander Hamilton in a duel, he lived a very lonely life after his charge of treason in 1807.

During his adult life, Burr spent much time writing letters to many people. Some people knew that Burr made history and took care of the messages he sent. Not only did they frame the notes, but they also made sure to tell the story of the letter to the next generation for safekeeping.
