Washington used Hamilton, Jefferson and Lafayette on a Court Martial Board to lay to on General Lee, Aaron Burr's superior officer.

Aaron never forgot!

Bet he didn't like Washington all that well either.

The feeling was mutual Washington despised Burr and considered him completely untrustworthy. He made sure never to advance him in any way. Burr always blamed Hamilton for Washington's disdain. What is ironic is that Burr may have saved Hamilton's life early in the war by leading his unit out of great danger during a battle arouind NYC.
