#7 - The Search For The Fallout from The Trial of Aaron Burr

By 1807, Aaron Burr had been accused of a plan to strip land away from the US by President Jefferson himself. Burr's name had been dragged through the media, his finances were ruined to the point that he was in devastating debt and his friends and acquaintances were pitted against him in order to make the case. However, he did make the case - Burr beat the United States and more impressively, President Jefferson on a treason charge, but do you really win if you lose everything? What's the value in a moral victory if you have no shoes on your feet, no roof over your head and no bread for your hunger? We’ll talk about that today - Who walked away from this trial a winner and who walked away a loser as we go on The Search For The Fate and fallout from the trial of AARON BURR.
