36 years since Hamilton's Death
On July 11,1804 in Weehawken, New Jersey Burr and Hamilton met to end their life time feud. Hamilton being a Federalist and Burr being a Republican the men often clashed in the political arena. This feud all started when Burr took the Senate seat from Hamilton's father in-law. He was hoping this other guy that we really don't care enough about to remember his name would win because he supported Hamilton's ideas; but instead Burr won and Hamilton was furious. Burr was charged with murder on two accounts and was pulled from and never again allowed to run for office.
33 Years since the Embargo Acts
It's been 33 years since Jefferson passed the embargo act not that anyone cares. Just in case anyone forgot what the Embargo Acts were it was when Jefferson made it illegal to export goods from the U.S. In order to make Britian and France respect the U.S. This act was very stupid on Jefferson's part because all it did was hurt the economic state of the U.S. He thought it was smart to become nuetral by not trading with anyone but since they depended on other countries for certain things it was not successful.
