Hamilton and Burr's duel pistol is coming to Washington, D.C..

One week after July 4th, 184, two famous American politicians faced each other in a gun battle for several years. Batters are alexander hamilton, a staunch supporter of the Federalist Party, his long-time Democratic Party and his opponent Aaron Burr. Hamilton (as a member of Congress) helped Hamilton to be the vice president in the disputed election in 18.

Hamilton's antipathy to Burr was deeply imprinted in an indictment he wrote on January 4, 181. The father of the National Bank thundered, "[Burr] is a spendthrift in any sense, an extremely indulgent person with unrealistic living habits; In his career, there was a proverb that blackmailed him. "However, on that decisive New Jersey morning in 184, when Hamilton shot first, he deliberately ignored some arguments (a tactical duel enthusiast called deloping).

Whether Hamilton's bullet hit a nearby tree was an olive branch or just a fire was largely irrelevant, and Burr was determined to let the adventure pass. The former vice president lost no time in drawing a bead to his helpless enemy, then put a bullet in Hamilton's stomach and killed one of the most dynamic founding fathers in the United States the next day.

At this moment, the influence of the Federalist Party in * * * is at its lowest point; Hamilton's death did not arouse the condolences of the Philadelphia Democratic Party and Naboo. It was not until the end of the civil war that Hamilton's ideal of a powerful central government once again occupied the country.

Lin Manuel Miranda's hit hip-hop musical "The Tragedy of Hamilton" just held a brand-new exhibition at the National Postal Museum in Washington. On May 25th, Miranda's Hamilton was held at the Kennedy Center. The core of the new exhibition will be Hamilton and Burr aiming at each other's guns in July 184, which they have never exhibited in the capital. However, Daniel Piazza, a stamp collector and producer of the play, said that the pistol was only the tip of the iceberg, and the early duel between Hamilton and Burr had re-entered the public consciousness because of its key role in the musical of Lin Manuel Miranda.

This ambitious exhibition will be divided into three parts, with Hamilton as the soldier, Hamilton as the finance minister and Hamilton as the eternal symbol.

among the cultural relics of the revolutionary war, piazza was particularly excited about a letter written by Hamilton in the crucible of Ji Gu, and a two-volume encyclopedia of fiscal policy. This young immigrant was almost impossible to be with him during his years as a soldier. Even at this early stage of life, Piaca said, "He is preparing to become the finance minister." Piaca added that this precocious academic level was "very rare, even in the 18th century, especially considering that the revolutionary soldier Hamilton obviously had other duties.

The middle part of the exhibition mainly focuses on Hamilton's tenure as Treasury Secretary in Washington, D.C., and uses the correspondence with the customs to explain to what extent he monitored the country's import and export, so as to better formulate monetary policy for the country. Piazza said that he could easily become "the most knowledgeable member of the Washington Cabinet", which is an outstanding group.

Hamilton's and Burr's pistols bring this part of the emotion close, and the exhibition will be transferred to Hamilton's legacy. piazza said that this matter is as controversial and changing as his reputation in life. The last part is some commemorative stamps, busts of honor and specially minted coins, which reveal the appreciation period of Hamiltonians from the reconstruction period to the present.

The large-scale exhibition will start in March next year, but it will be held in JPMorgan Chase (JP Morgan Chase &; Co.) The borrowed pistols of Hamilton and Burr will only be on display before June 24th. Therefore, in order to get the complete Hamilton experience, you'd better hurry up. This 24-cent stamp issued in 1957 is set in Nevis, the Caribbean island where Hamilton was born. (National Postal Museum)
