USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Philip Hamilton (January 22, 1782 – November 24, 1801) was the eldest child of Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, and Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton . He died at age 19, fatally shot in a duel with George Eacker. Albany, New York, U.S.

Detailed explanation-2: -Philip was mortally wounded, and, after he was brought back to New York, suffered for hours while his frantic parents looked on, helpless, until he died. Hamilton fainted his way to his son’s grave, and, according to his friends, the grief and horror of the event was permanently etched into his face thereafter.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Hamilton, Eacker immediately fired upon Hamilton. This portrayed his father’s advice as being ignorant and makes him appear to have indirectly killed his son. The advice appears to have been sound, with the reason being Eacker being on edge and untrusting that Hamilton wouldn’t fire.
