About This Quote
At the height of the War of 1812, Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin was accused of treason merely for suggesting budget adjustments to pay for war measures. The war had been raging for two years, and he proposed reducing some of the expenditures to make up the difference. This did not sit well with many people who believed that the United States should be fighting on more than one front at a time.
