Answer: B

Explanation: It was a tie between Jefferson and Burr. Hamilton chose Jefferson, although they were frenemies, because Jefferson stood for what he believed in, and Burr did not. Therefore, Burr and Hamilton sent letters to each other for about four years before they finally had the duel, to which Hamilton had perished.

Hope this helped! I’m a Hamilton nerd lol
