@ramsey@paninid@fedwards9965 Jackson hated banks and banking, so he became friends with Aaron Burr entirely because he shot Hamilton, creator of the first national bank. Through that, he learned of Burr and Wilkinson's plot to sever land from the US to create a new nation and Jackson wrote to President Jefferson to tell him about it while promising to defend the nation. He testified as a witness in the Burr's trial for treason where John Marshall defined "treason" for the first time in US law
