Thomas Jefferson was born in April 13, 1743 in Virginia. He served as the third president of the United States. Jefferson was an American English writer, which he served in writing the Declaration of Independence as well. He was a very open minded President, one of the smartest presidents as being a writer, philosopher, and a scientist. Thomas Jefferson served as a president for 8 years as being a Republican Democratic. His goal was to maintain the U.S. a small government environment. His goal is to make the government smaller, so it could be easy to end the internal taxes and minimize the size of the U.S. army. one of his best mind thinking was that he really liked technology, he wanted a better technology in the U.S. to spread productivity to the civil and the farmers. Jefferson was preferred by the farmers and also, Alexander Hamilton, which was one of the founding fathers as well. Thomas Jefferson shaped the U.S. by his way of shaping out the government to satisfy the Americans in working environments economically. One of his weaknesses in my opinion is when he stated "that all men are created equal" but he still owned slaves, which was kind of confusing to me, but that did not increase racism during his presidency term. overall, Thomas Jefferson was a good founding father, and one of the best presidents that the U.S. had. Thomas Jefferson had passed away in Virginia, July 4, 1826.
