I believe it would be worthwhile to link to the Wikisource entry on The Burr Conspiracy http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Burr_Conspiracy. I would do it myself, but am still too new to the process to be confident that I have done it correctly. Djkimmons 07:20, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, it's at the bottom. Perhaps it could be labelled better? Djkimmons 23:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

James R Hamilton says...

Aaron Burr was a member of The Democratic-Republican Party. (the ancestor of today's Democratic Party). The Republican Party didn't form until 1854. The two major political parties were The Federalist Party, and The Democratic-Republican Party. I point this out, because this article infers that President Thomas Jefferson was not of the same party that Vice President Aaron Burr was. It puts in perspective the historical differences between then and now.

[edit] Other Info

Andrew Jackson was also involved in reporting to the President about Burr's actions. I have the info, if one is interested.(RorikStrindberg (talk) 09:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)) 03:06 May 21, 2007 UTC
