I suggest that you read up on Aaron Burr.
For all of the calumny you've heaped upon Hamilton, undeservedly so, Burr makes Alex look like a saint! Even Jefferson, whose V.P. Burr was, didn't like him; but found him "useful".
Both were fallible human beings. From the article above: "It is reported that late in life [Burr] observed that, had he been wiser, he would have known that there was room enough in the world for both Hamilton and himself."
