I've heard and read some Lams or More accurately Hamilton and Laurens stories, so why not give it a 'shot'
'And have I done enough?'
Also spoiler alert their playing the show Hamilton as themselves and there's a plot twist to the story we know read...
So yeah I decided why not do a burr? I'll do the rest of them as well! So just skip it if you're bored of it I mean it's not like anyone's interested in background characters I'm just saying. I'm only going to do the other two guys: laffy and Mulls. So let's get onto Burr.
Aaron Burr March 2, 2020 Aaron Burr was the third Vice President of the United States, a colonel in the Continental Army, successful lawyer, and a brilliant politician. However, he is best known as the man who killed Alexander Hamilton. Some believe that if Burr could have controlled his ambition, he may have become President of the United States instead of dying in relative obscurity and being remembered as the man who killed Alexander Hamilton.

Aaron Burr was born in 1756 in New Jersey to Reverend Aaron Burr, Sr., the second president of the College of New Jersey in Newark (later Princeton University) and Esther Edwards Burr, daughter of Jonathan Edwards, the famous Calvinist theologian who helped head up the religious movement, the Great Awakening.
Aaron Burr, Sr. and Esther both died within a year of each other, leaving Aaron Burr, Jr. and his sister Sally orphans when Burr was two. They were raised by their uncle Timothy Edwards.
Even at a young age, Burr showed signs of brilliance. He applied to the College of New Jersey at age 11 and was rejected, but was accepted at age 13, graduating and receiving his Bachelor's degree at 17. He studied theology for about two years, but ended up choosing a career in law, studying under his brother-in-law.
Military
Like so many other students, he put his studies on hold when the American Revolution broke out. He was part of Benedict Arnold's expedition to conquer Quebec in 1775. His service during the Battle of Quebec won his promotion to captaincy and a place on General Washington's staff. He was promptly reassigned. Some sources say that he wanted to be back in the field, others that Washington found him reading his private correspondence and did not trust him after that.
Whichever of these is true, it seems a widely acknowledged that the two men did not like each other. He built up quite a good reputation for himself as an officer, and took pride in being called Colonel Burr long after the war was over.
