Daveiss’ July 14 letter to Jefferson states…

July 1806 CE

Daveiss’ July 14 letter to Jefferson states flatly that Burr plans to provoke a rebellion in Spanish-held parts of the West, in order to join them to areas in the Southwest and form an independent nation under his rule.

Similar accusations are published against local Democratic-Republicans in a Frankfort, Kentucky newspaper, Western World.

Jefferson will dismiss Daveiss's accusations against Burr, a Democratic-Republican, as politically motivated.

Later in 1806, Daveiss will bring treason charges against Burr in Kentucky.

The charges will, however, be dismissed thanks to the help of Burr's attorney, Henry Clay.
