^For those who aren't aware. Burr basically leased out part of Texas from the Spanish government.
It seems to me that if he just used the Texas land, there would really be no need for an army so I will posit two scenarios:
1. Where the conspiracy is true and Burr and a few officers (supported by British navy in the Gulf?) break off the southwestern portion of the Louisiana Purchase (now south Middle America).
2. Burr drops the conspiracy idea and basically becomes a proto-Stephen F. Austin / Sam Houston (really the resemblance to their two stories is uncanny) setting up and organizing American migration to what is now Texas.
