Burr lost most of his fame, money, and his political career was over. He committed treason and died almost as a nobody.

Hamilton's wife, Eliza was devastated. She spoke out against slavery and established the first private orphanage.

The duel was the culmination of a long and bitter rivalry between the two men.
