1804-Hamilton and Burr go to Weehawken, New Jersey and their duel ends with both men shooting in the air.
The Clinton-Livingston Political machine uses the duel to try to destroy the two men but unfortunately it backfires on them when Alexander Hamilton publishes a pamphlet to counter almost the attacks of the New York American Citizen and Philadelphia’s Auroracalled In Defense of Honor. This pamphlet over the years leads to the legalization or semi-legalization of dueling .
1806- The Second Quasi-War. A much more popular Aaron Burr who has come out west with his followers with the help of Andrew Jackson ignite a war against the Spanish---The allies of the French in the Mexican/Texas territories. Secretly he is getting help from the British and Ambassador Anthony Merry who despises Thomas Jefferson for his lack of political etiquette and him paying millions for Louisana to the French war machine to further confound the efforts of Napoleon and with 2 years successfully seizes most of modern day Texas and the mission of San Antonio with the help of Indian allies and Mexican priests renaming the city Burrsville which was closed off to American settlers now is open to settlers again making him very popular in the throughout the Americas
President Thomas Jefferson stays neutral in hopes of not getting the US involved in a war. Meanwhile later in the year despite difficulty of holding together his gains and financial problems Aaron Burr proclaims the independent Democratic Republic of Texas—“a union of honest men and women” and invites Whites ,Indians and those of Spaniard or Mixed blood to settle in the new republic as long as they swear loyalty to the new government with himself as President-General for life and Senators for life(This is done to prevent the native Spanish population from getting a foothold in the new republic until enough American settlers can move into the new country but also for Aaron Burr’s benefit).Aaron Burr’s financial backer
1807-The Wilkerson Affair –letters are intercepted by American troops that lead the government to believe that Col. James Wilkerson is a traitor and in service of the Spanish and giving them information on Burr’s activities in the new republic. This inflames the winds of war more with the US but also sours relations with Texas.
Back from self imposed political exile, Alexander Hamilton’s attack through a new invigorated United-Federalist party hope to take back Washington.
Col. James Wilkerson is hanged for treachery by Jefferson’s government but Jefferson is still skewered in the press as ”incompetent”
As a last ditch effort Thomas Jefferson enacts the Embargo attack as the French seize over 13 million dollars worth of U.S. shipping in European ports which makes the President even more unpopular.
1808-Thomas Jefferson’s party The Democratic-Republican Party fractures over the New republic of the west and the expansion of slavery not only into the Louisiana territory but beyond into the new republic and gets the more radical wing led by Congressman John Randolph and their new presidential candidate James Monroe to break with the dying party and form a new Constitutionalist Party and to stay out of the war.
Alexander Hamilton’s United- Federalist Party chooses Rufus King as VP and Charles Pinckney as President.
The rump Democratic-Republican Party chooses James Madison as their candidate.
After the Burnsville Massacre where a Spanish force seizes Burrsville despite the heroic efforts of General Andrew Jackson and forces the new government to flee the news reaches the east and puts United-Federalist Party into power.
1809-President Charles Pinckney is sworn in and commits to ending the embargo. Reaching a peace with Europe and supporting the Democratic Republic of Texas. Within a year the new Secretary of War Alexander Hamilton is able to muster troops to prop up the Republic of Texas and ironically his old arch-enemy Aaron Burr but is able to seize Florida with an alliance with the Seminoles ---as part of the deal the Seminoles will retain most of West Florida and the Union would get East Florida with it’s capital at St.Augustine and therefore prevent a European power from using Florida as a means of attack into the US —both would be admitted into the Union or Texas as separate states over time.
