Burr and Hamilton already were at odds. When Aaron Burr won and practically replaced Hamilton father in law, it agitated Hamilton and drove him to dislike Burr in a way.

Answer:The powerful Livingston and Clinton families, who were Schuyler's enemies, helped deliver victory to Burr. This infuriated Alexander Hamilton, who had married Schuyler's daughter Elizabeth and had backed his father-in law's candidacy. Hamilton was counting on Schuyler to support his economic platforms in the Senate. It was the first major battle between Hamilton and Burr.
