After the House of Representatives broke a deadlock in the electoral college, American politician Aaron Burr from 1801 to 1805 served as vice president of the United States under Thomas Jefferson and in 1804 mortally wounded his rival Alexander Hamilton in a duel; a conspiracy to establish an independent nation in Mexico and the southwest later involved him, whom people tried for treason but acquitted.
