After an infamous duel with Alexander Hamilton in 1804 and his later trial for treason, Aaron Burr attempted a political comeback that was dashed. He fled America and his creditors for Europe, where he tried to regain his fortunes where he lived from 1808 to 1812. Burr returned quietly to New York in 1812, living his remaining days as a moderately successful attorney until his death in 1836.
