Talk:Burr conspiracy

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

Constitutionality of conspiracy
" (Note: this was before the Louisiana Purchase had been officially accepted by the U.S. Government as a territory. Thomas Jefferson was having second thoughts about absorbing it into the union. Any taking of that land by an American at that time would not have been unconstitutional or even illegal.)"

This is blatantly wrong on the timing, and doesn't fit formatting standards, so I removed the whole thing. If someone wants to edit & cite, feel free to put it back in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Demonstah (talk • contribs) 04:02, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Something (I think) is of importance: Wikipedia claims that there is no significant evidence as to whether James Wilkinson partnered with Burr to advance his political career. He was actually listed as Special Agent #13 on the Spanish payroll; he told European countries of his plans specifically for that reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.155.64 (talk) 14:25, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Wilkenson
The first paragraph is very odd and obviously written by someone who buys into the idea that burr was trying to create a breakaway state. I've found no real, actual proof that wilkenson was part of this besides when in the Burr conspiracy trial WILKENSON himself testified that burr had planned an empire. It all sounds like bull to me. Since jefferson was just trying to get burr taken out of the picture, so he got other people to testify, but wilkenson was laughed out of court when he revealed that the letter showing burr's guilt was in his(wilkenson's) handwriting, he claimed he lost the original and had made a copy. What is known is that wilkenson was working for the spanish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baron Harkonnen (talk • contribs) 21:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I presume that Wilkenson is Wilkinson. The current edit in this section removed some stuff, leaving a nonsense (paconspiracy). Vandalism or error? 132.66.235.56 (talk) 15:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Was Aaron Burr refereed to as “as a MAN without a country” if not who was? Thanks for your anticipated help. 2600:1008:B07A:9B45:61B2:7726:39CF:3629 (talk) 18:41, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
