Aaron Burr (1756-1836) was an American politician and lawyer, who served as the third vice president of the United States (1801-1805). His reputation as a US Founding Father was marred by his killing of political rival Alexander Hamilton in a duel and by his treason trial in 1807, leading to his common depiction as a villain in US history.
