Even by the kindest reading of Burr's childhood, losing his parents at a young age, then being cared for by a third party for an extended time before being placed with his uncle, and finally being just one of a large group of newly-orphaned children, should have damaged him.
It should have given him a low self-esteem, made him struggle to form relationships, resulted in antisocial and aggressive behaviour, caused him to take a negative view of life, or made him unempathetic and an abusive parent. Those are all known long-term consequences of the sort of disruption he had at the sort of age he was.
Instead, Burr was repeatedly described as courteous, generous, charitable, and willing to go to any length to help a friend; of whom he had many. So far from being pessimistic, his optimism was the stuff of legend; and while he was a strange parent, he was kind and loving to his children, stepchildren, wards etc.
The more I learn about Burr, the more questions I have to ask.
