Thomas Jefferson

The principal author of the Declaration of Independence and the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) was noted as one of the most brilliant minds in the history of American politics. He served as the second Vice President of the country, and was Secretary of State under George Washington. He worked with James Madison to found the Democratic-Republican Party, and founded the University of Virginia. While President, he oversaw both the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the country, and the controversial Embargo Act of 1807, in response to British threats to American shipping.
