James Wilkinson | Episode #151 | Election College: United States Presidential Election History

We talk really badly about Aaron Burr sometimes and, yeah, he deserves it. But he doesn't seem to be nearly as bad of a guy as James Wilkinson!

Join us as we discuss...

• Wilkinson's uncanny ability to move up through military ranks,
• how the Spanish paid Wilkinson to promote their interests,
• the betrayal of the Spanish by Wilkinson,
• an unlikely friendship and partnership between Burr and Wilkinson,
• Wilkinson's many blunders and trials,
• and much more!
