Alexander loved his first-born son, Philip. Apart from being family, what did the two have in common?
Answer Both died in a duel
When New York lawyer George Eacker attacked Alexander Hamilton, Hamilton's son, Philip, stepped in to defend his dad's honor. He was killed in a duel with Eacker in 1801, which left Alexander devastated. Some believe that it was his son's death that made Hamilton reluctant to fire at Burr three years later.
