>Earlier, Scavino seemed to be signalling Lincoln and Jackson who both invoked the Insurrection Act and Martial Law. Now, he's gone back to an Obama era photo to show Lincoln with Hamilton. Hmmmm…

Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton
During the 1800 presidential elections, Thomas Jefferson, a Democratic-Republican, and John Adams, a Federalist, were vying for the presidency.
At the time, presidents and vice presidents were voted for separately, and Aaron Burr, intended to be Jefferson's vice president on the Democratic-Republican ticket, actually tied Jefferson for the presidency.
Choosing Jefferson as the lesser of two evils, Hamilton went to work supporting Jefferson's campaign, and in so doing undermined the attempts of Federalists to garner a tie-breaking win for Burr. Ultimately, the House of Representatives chose Jefferson as president, with Burr as his vice president. However, the standoff had damaged Jefferson's trust in Burr.
Duel
During his first term, Jefferson often left Burr out of discussions on party decisions. When Jefferson ran for re-election in 1804, he decided to remove Burr from his ticket. Burr then opted to run independently for the New York governorship but lost.
Frustrated and feeling marginalized, Burr hit his boiling point when he read in a newspaper that Hamilton had called Burr "the most unfit and dangerous man of the community."
Burr was infuriated. Convinced that Hamilton had ruined yet another election for him, Burr demanded an explanation.
When Hamilton refused to comply, Burr, further enraged, challenged Hamilton to a duel. Hamilton begrudgingly accepted, believing that in doing so he would assure his "ability to be in [the] future useful."
How Did Alexander Hamilton Die?
Hamilton met Burr at the duel, which began at dawn on July 11, 1804, in Weehawken, New Jersey. When both men drew their guns and shot, Hamilton was severely wounded, but Hamilton's bullet missed Burr.
Hamilton, injured, was brought back to New York City, where he died the next day, on July 12, 1804. Hamilton's grave is located in the cemetery of Trinity Church in downtown Manhattan, New York City.
