Burr served under Benedict Arnold it is true. Perhaps the greatest service he ever gave his nation was saving Hamilton’s life when under fire. H was a militia artillery officer and B an aide to Gen. Putnam during the fighting around New York.
Defending Hamilton from Jeffersonian slanders and falsehoods is not giving him “carte blanche” for any shortcomings.
It should be noted that Washington (who was hyper concerned about integrity and honesty) developed a disregard of Burr almost immediately and dismissed him from his staff after only a month or so. He caught him in some disreputable scheme.
Except it’s not a “slander” to note the fact that Hamilton paid a guy thousands of dollars over a two year period to prostitute his wife. It’s documented fact that only a Hamilton fetishist would attempt to excuse away. Even Callender’s most salacious attacks on Hamilton - and the Reynolds affair was the prime example - have generally born out to be truthful.
