USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -In Eacker’s duel with Price, neither party was injured, but four shots were fired. The next day, November 23, 1801, Philip took his father’s advice, and refused to raise his pistol to fire after he and Eacker had counted ten paces and faced each other. Eacker, following suit, did not shoot either.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Hamiltons’ eighth and youngest child was born just a year after the tragedy, and they named him Philip in honor of the brother he’d never know.

Detailed explanation-3: -Burr shot Hamilton in the abdomen. The ball crashed through a rib, went through his liver and stuck in his spine. Hamilton gasped, “I am a dead man” and collapsed.
