Burr: a Complex Character
545 words, approx. 2 pages

As Gore Vidal portrayed him in his novel of the same name, Burr served as a revolutionary war hero, a dedicated father, and an important political figure in the late 1700s and early 1800s who showed greater complexity, sincerity, and generosity during many periods of his life.
