Burr and Reagan

On February 6, 1778, the Treaty of Alliance and the Treaty of Amity and Commerce were signed by the United States and France, signaling official recognition of the new republic. Exactly a decade later, the State of Massachusetts became the sixth in the union to ratify the new United States Constitution. 

February 6 marks the birthdays of Aaron Burr (1756 — 1836), third Vice President of the United States and infamous Weehauken duelist, and Ronald Reagan (1911 — 2004) 40th President of the United States.
