This talks about Jefferson and his childhood and all his accomplishments. It describes his life and the deceleration of independence in which he helped write which I learned. This was an interesting summary of Thomas Jefferson. It covered several aspects of his life but I should have added more about his presidency. In my own opinion I don’t like Thomas Jefferson in the first place. The reason is that he did so many things to the Native American. I think he is a terrible person and president and he killed way too many innocent people to be a president. I feel like he is a decrease to America. He died on July 4, 1826.
He born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia, getting from his father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 acres of land, and from his mother, a high social standing. He studied at the College of William and Mary. In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skelton and took her to live in his partly constructed mountaintop home, Monticello. In the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress, he contributed his pen rather than his voice to the patriot cause. As the "silent member" of the Congress, Jefferson, at 33, drafted the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson betted Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785. His passion for the French Revolution led him into conflict with Alexander Hamilton when Jefferson was Secretary of State in President Washington's Cabinet and then he resigned in 1793. As a reluctant candidate for President in 1796, Jefferson came within three votes of election. Through a flaw in the Constitution, he became Vice President, although an opponent of President Adams. In 1800 the defect caused a more serious problem. Republican electors attempted to name both a President and a Vice President from their own party.
