Aaron Burr His Personal And Political Relations With Thomas Jefferson And Alexander Hamilton PDF Download

Excerpt from Aaron Burr: His Personal and Political Relations With Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton Aaron Burr has the saddest of all histories - the victim of revengeful power, and of studied and per sistent duplicity. A man whose public life was with out a stain, who never betrayed a friend, or spoke ill even of an enemy; a man of the highest ambition, but who put aside the presidency of the United States, rather than do a wrong to his party chief or disappoint the wishes of the people - has been for a whole century denounced as a man without integrity or sound principle. A man who gave four years of his early manhood in fighting for the maintenance of the republic - has, upon mere clamor and prejudice, for three generations, been stigmatized as a traitor. If these be facts, is it not time they were' known? It is to give these facts that this volume has been written.
