The US Presidential election of 1800 was one of the most unique with Thomas Jefferson being elected after the confusion of a tied vote in the electoral college and Aaron Burr becoming Vice President after a contested and controversial process in the House of Representatives.
What if a "rogue" elector had cast his ballot in a different way and Aaron Burr, who had been the nominee for Vice President, had actually been elected as President by the Electoral College and become the leader of the US the early years of the 19th Century?
