Thank you so much for your detailed answers! I hear that Burr had money problems, can you tell me so more about it? I thought he came from a wealthy family?

Also, could you tell me about Hamilton's financial problems as well? How is the first Secretary Treasury dying in debt?

P.S. no matter how dire I feel my financials are, at least I'm not in either of their situations, which is mildly comforting...

Two words: land speculation.

Burr's family wealth is often overstated. His family was of high social status, old and well respected, but not rich; comfortable, at best. Between paying for his schooling, and presumably paying for his keep during the time he spent changing his mind about his studies before the war, and then being ill after it, he was pretty much out of cash by the time he married Theodosia Prevost.

He earned good money as one of New York's top lawyers, but not enough for the lifestyle he wanted; and this is something that was common to a large number of politicians of the time. As the new republic struggled to figure out all the official and unofficial apparatus of government, it was initially all about personal reputation. If you wanted to get anywhere in politics you had to appear prosperous, to entertain, to be (especially in Burr's case) generous. And to do that required rather more money than even a good lawyer could earn.

Fortunately, the US was a brand new country, always expanding, always building. If you could predict where where the roads would run, where the bridges would be, where natural resources might be, where people would want to build, you could make a fortune. People did.

Of course, if you got it wrong, you could lose one. And the problem was exacerbated by the way finances were transacted at the time; much was done on the honour principle, accepting someone's note as a promise of payment, backing the notes of others, and basically swapping around all those notes between gentlemen to pay for high-value transactions. What that meant was that if someone you had trusted unexpectedly defaulted on a debt, you could suddenly and unexpectedly be in a lot of trouble.

Burr wasn't lucky in his speculation; and worse, he was far too trusting. And, as in gambling, if you've unexpectedly lost a lot of money, it's tempting to try to win it back on the next toss of the dice. Arguably, the Burr Conspiracy (WHATEVER THAT WAS) was a continuation of that theme; a gamble that, if it came off, could be profitable enough to clear all his debts - not only that, but to regain his reputation as well! How tempting! How irresistable! Instead, of course, Burr spent the last decades of his life working fruitlessly to clear the debts that chasing his Mexican dreams had incurred.

But, as you've noted, he wasn't alone in that. It's often said that Hamilton suffered from poorly-paid government work, but in fact that was only part of his problem. He also didn't claim money and land that was due to him from his military service, probably out of a sense of stiff-necked pride. He speculated, unsuccessfully. And he lived well beyond his means; he could not realistically have hoped to pay off what it cost him to build The Grange. But everyone who was anyone needed a country seat! How could you think yourself successful without?

Robert Morris, 'the financier of the revolution', at one point one of the richest men in early America, lost it all and spent years in debtor's prison. Jefferson lived well beyond his means, in optimistic denial of how much his plantation could bring in, and spent much of his later life panicking about his massive debts (which remained at his death). Luther Martin, who served as Maryland's Attorney-General for decades, also managed to be destitute in his final years when he suffered from illness and severe cognitive impairment resulting from a lifetime of alcoholism. Fortunately for Martin, Burr may have had nothing, but it was a nothing he was willing to share.

So, yeah. Basically the US was created by a bunch of gamblers who lived beyond their means. Compared with the Founding Fathers, WE ARE ALL FINANCIAL GENIUSES.
