Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tragical History of Aaron Burr: Wherein Is Set Forth His Treason Against the United States, His Plan to Conquer Mexico, the Destruction of Blennerhassett´s Island Home, and Other Incidents This play is taken from that period in the life of Colonel Aaron Burr at the time of the funeral of Alexander Hamilton until a short time after his death. Colonel Burr was elected Vice-President of the United States in a.d. 1800, and the following year, on the fourth of March, took his seat. Owing to some political differences and trouble with Mr. Hamilton, a duel was fought at Weehawken Heights, July 11, 1804. Mr. Hamilton was killed. On March 2, 1805, Colonel Burr bid farewell to the Senate. The precise date on which Colonel Burr conceived his plans for the conquest of Mexico is not known, but it may reasonably be supposed that his final decision was taken shortly after March 2, 1805. In the spring of 1805, he made a tour through the west, and as far south as New Orleans. At the same time negotiation for the purchase of the Baron Bastrop tract of land, on the Washita river, was being carried on. His plans for the settlement of these lands, the severance of the West from the Eastern States and conquest of Mexico, were told to many, and were eagerly seized upon.
