---from the article---

  • Burr, and the real Aaron Burr was very different from the myth given to us by supporters of Alexander Hamilton or Thomas Jefferson. Not to mention lazy historians who just want to sell a book without doing any actual work on their own. Not to mention the Fake News of the time from the political newspapers.
    .
    And when you go through Burr’s legislative history and his thoughts on issues – Burr was no enemy of democracy. Instead Burr was the first anti establishment politician. In the late 1700’s the Founding Fathers were very expressed about limiting who could vote. They wanted voting only open to white males who were property owners – because (in their minds) only white males who owned property could be trusted with such an important concept as voting. Also only white males could own property. Women and free blacks could not sit on juries.
    .
    The Hamiltonians state that Burr was an enemy to democracy. Yet facts are stubborn things, and the facts show that something very different occurred.
Sort:  

its great to know this fact of democracy and first anti establishment politician.
