In death, Hamilton's financial mismanagement became painfully clear: he left approximately $50,000 in debt — millions in today's terms — with a mortgage on the Grange that Eliza could not repay. His friends quietly bought the property and sold it back to her at half price. Eliza co-founded the Orphan Asylum Society of New York and lived until 1854, aged 97, never remarrying and entirely devoted to preserving Alexander's memory. Burr's fate was grimmer. Hamilton's allies immediately began spinning the narrative against him — falsely claiming he was celebrating in taverns while Eliza wept — and Burr fled to Georgia to escape the outrage. Charged with murder in both New York and New Jersey, he was never tried: the witnesses had all faced the wrong way or hidden behind umbrellas. He returned to Washington to finish his term as Vice President — Tom notes the Dick Cheney parallel — before his political career finally imploded.

Eliza Hamilton never remarried and spent 50 years devoted to her husband's memory. Hamilton's friends bought the Grange and sold it back to her at half price. She co-founded the Orphan Asylum Society of New York and died aged 97 — having outlived Alexander by more than half a century.
Alexander Hamilton has appeared on the US $10 bill since 1929, and a 2015 Treasury plan to replace him with a woman was reversed after Hamilton the Musical became a cultural phenomenon.
After killing Hamilton, Burr fled New York, evaded murder charges, and then became embroiled in a plot to carve out his own country on America's southern border — possibly Florida, northern Mexico, or the Deep South. He was tried for treason, acquitted for lack of evidence, and then expelled from both Britain and France.
