'''Aaron Burr, Jr.''' (February 6, 1756 – September 14, 1836), was a leader of the left-leaning [[Republicans (Jeffersonian)|Jeffersonian Republicans]] in New York, and its vice presidential candidate in 1796 and 1800. He was elected in 1800, but ruined his reputation by killing [[Alexander Hamilton]] in a duel. Burr then plotted an elaborate scheme to create a new country around New Orleans (and breaking off the region from the U.S.). Tried for treason, he was acquitted on a technicality.
