V letopisech ran\u00e9 americk\u00e9 historie vynikaj\u00ed jm\u00e9na Aaron Burr, Jonathan Dayton a brat\u0159i Ogdenovi \u2013 Aaron a Matthias \u2013 jako skupina d\u011btsk\u00fdch p\u0159\u00e1tel, kte\u0159\u00ed nesmazateln\u011b poznamenali osud n\u00e1roda. Jejich p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh je vypr\u00e1v\u011bn\u00edm o bohatstv\u00ed, moci a skand\u00e1lech, kter\u00e9 odr\u00e1\u017e\u00ed neomezen\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitosti a zr\u00e1dn\u00e9 n\u00e1strahy Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1t\u016f v jejich po\u010d\u00e1tc\u00edch.<\/p>\n\n
Jersey Boys se narodili do v\u00fdznamn\u00fdch rodin v Elizabethtownu v New Jersey a vyr\u016fstali spolu, p\u0159i\u010dem\u017e vytv\u00e1\u0159eli nerozbitn\u00e9 pouto. Burr, charismatick\u00fd a nez\u00e1visl\u00fd v\u016fdce, projevil sv\u00e9ho rebelsk\u00e9ho ducha ji\u017e v ran\u00e9m v\u011bku, kdy\u017e dvakr\u00e1t utekl z domova. Dayton, o dva roky mlad\u0161\u00ed, byl ti\u0161\u0161\u00ed, ale stejn\u011b rozhodn\u00fd jedinec. Brat\u0159i Ogdenovi, Matthias a Aaron, byli zn\u00e1m\u00ed svou velikost\u00ed a silou.<\/p>\n\n
Kdy\u017e v roce 1775 vypukla v\u00e1lka za nez\u00e1vislost, Jersey Boys se nad\u0161en\u011b p\u0159ipojili k boji za nez\u00e1vislost. Matthias Ogden a Burr se p\u0159ihl\u00e1sili jako dobrovoln\u00edci do Benedictova Arnoldova odv\u00e1\u017en\u00e9ho zimn\u00edho vp\u00e1du do Kanady, zat\u00edmco Dayton slou\u017eil jako pokladn\u00edk v praporu sv\u00e9ho otce. Aaron Ogden se pozd\u011bji proslavil v bitv\u011b u Yorktownu a z\u00edskal pochvalu od George Washingtona.<\/p>\n\n
Po v\u00e1lce se Jersey Boys pustili do sv\u00e9 politick\u00e9 kari\u00e9ry. Dayton se stal nejmlad\u0161\u00edm deleg\u00e1tem \u00fastavn\u00edho shrom\u00e1\u017ed\u011bn\u00ed, kde prosazoval silnou feder\u00e1ln\u00ed vl\u00e1du. Burr, zvolen\u00fd za sen\u00e1tora st\u00e1tu New York, se stal v\u00fdznamnou republik\u00e1nskou osobnost\u00ed. Aaron Ogden praktikoval pr\u00e1vo v New Jersey, zat\u00edmco Matthias Ogden se v\u011bnoval r\u016fzn\u00fdm obchodn\u00edm podnik\u016fm.<\/p>\n\n
Burrovy politick\u00e9 ambice dos\u00e1hly sv\u00e9ho vrcholu, kdy\u017e byl v roce 1801 zvolen viceprezidentem. Jeho domn\u011bl\u00e1 nez\u00e1vislost v\u0161ak vedla k ho\u0159k\u00e9 rivalit\u011b s prezidentem Thomasem Jeffersonem. V roce 1804 vedla Burrova \u00fa\u010dast v duelu s Alexanderem Hamiltonem k jeho politick\u00e9mu p\u00e1du. Byl ob\u017ealov\u00e1n z vra\u017edy a uprchl na Z\u00e1pad, kde vymyslel odv\u00e1\u017en\u00fd pl\u00e1n na zalo\u017een\u00ed \u0159\u00ed\u0161e na \u00fazem\u00ed Louisiany.<\/p>\n\n
Dayton a Aaron Ogden sehr\u00e1li kl\u00ed\u010dov\u00e9 role v Burrov\u011b ne\u0161\u0165astn\u00e9m spiknut\u00ed. Dayton slou\u017eil jako Burr\u016fv hlavn\u00ed pobo\u010dn\u00edk, zat\u00edmco Aaron Ogden ho obhajoval v soudn\u00edm procesu s vra\u017edou v New Jersey. Spiknut\u00ed nakonec selhalo a Burr byl zat\u010den a souzen za zradu. Nicm\u00e9n\u011b pr\u016flomov\u00e9 rozhodnut\u00ed p\u0159edsedy Nejvy\u0161\u0161\u00edho soudu Johna Marshalla Burra osvobodilo a p\u0159\u00edpad proti Daytonovi \u00fa\u010dinn\u011b zastavilo.<\/p>\n\n
Po Burrov\u011b spiknut\u00ed obr\u00e1tili Jersey Boys svou pozornost k parn\u00edk\u016fm, technologick\u00e9mu z\u00e1zraku t\u00e9 doby. Aaron Ogden koupil tov\u00e1rnu na v\u00fdrobu parn\u00edch stroj\u016f a zpochybnil Robert\u016fv Fulton\u016fv monopol na obchod na \u0159ece Hudson. N\u00e1sledoval dlouh\u00fd pr\u00e1vn\u00ed spor, kter\u00fd vyvrcholil p\u0159\u00edpadem Gibbons vs. Ogden p\u0159ed Nejvy\u0161\u0161\u00edm soudem. Marshallovo rozhodnut\u00ed zru\u0161ilo Ogden\u016fv monopol a stanovilo autoritu feder\u00e1ln\u00ed vl\u00e1dy nad mezist\u00e1tn\u00edm obchodem.<\/p>\n\n
Navzdory sv\u00fdm politick\u00fdm a finan\u010dn\u00edm ne\u00fasp\u011bch\u016fm z\u016fstalo p\u0159\u00e1telstv\u00ed Jersey Boys pevn\u00e9. V roce 1824 uspo\u0159\u00e1dali spole\u010dn\u011b Ogden a Dayton slavnostn\u00ed uv\u00edt\u00e1n\u00ed mark\u00fdze de Lafayetta, bl\u00edzk\u00e9ho zn\u00e1m\u00e9ho z v\u00e1lky za nez\u00e1vislost. Dayton zem\u0159el o n\u011bkolik t\u00fddn\u016f pozd\u011bji a zanechal po sob\u011b odkaz slu\u017eby a vlastenectv\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
Aaron Ogden a Burr \u017eili je\u0161t\u011b mnoho let v New Jersey. Burr zem\u0159el v roce 1836, zat\u00edmco Ogden zem\u0159el v roce 1839. Jejich dlouh\u00e9 a ud\u00e1lostmi nabit\u00e9 \u017eivoty odr\u00e1\u017eely v\u00fdzvy a triumfy ran\u00e9 americk\u00e9 republiky, kde mohli odv\u00e1\u017en\u00ed a ambici\u00f3zn\u00ed jednotlivci dos\u00e1hnout velk\u00fdch v\u00fd\u0161ek, ale tak\u00e9 \u010delit d\u016fsledk\u016fm sv\u00fdch \u010din\u016f.<\/p>\n\n
P\u0159\u00edb\u011bh Jersey Boys slou\u017e\u00ed jako sv\u011bdectv\u00ed o slo\u017eit\u00e9 a \u010dasto rozporupln\u00e9 povaze lidsk\u00fdch ambic\u00ed. Jejich touha po bohatstv\u00ed a moci jim p\u0159inesla sl\u00e1vu a \u0161t\u011bst\u00ed, ale vedla tak\u00e9 k ho\u0159k\u00fdm rivalit\u00e1m, politick\u00fdm skand\u00e1l\u016fm a osobn\u00edm trag\u00e9di\u00edm. P\u0159esto jejich p\u0159\u00e1telstv\u00ed vydr\u017eelo, p\u0159ipom\u00ednaj\u00edc trval\u00e9 svazky, kter\u00e9 mohou utv\u00e1\u0159et na\u0161e \u017eivoty.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
