Short Biography Thomas Jefferson

In the thick of party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a private letter, I have
sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the
mind of man.
This powerful advocate of liberty was born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia,
inheriting from his father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 acres of land, and from his
mother, a Randolph, high social standing. He studied at the College of William and Mary,
then read law. In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skelton, a widow, and took her to live
in his partly constructed mountaintop home, Monticello.

Freckled and sandy-haired, rather tall and awkward, Jefferson was eloquent as a
correspondent, but he was no public speaker. 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. In years following he labored to make its words a reality in Virginia. Most
notably, he wrote a bill establishing religious freedom, enacted in 1786.

Jefferson succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785. His sympathy for
the French Revolution led him into conflict with Alexander Hamilton when Jefferson was
Secretary of State in President Washingtons Cabinet. He resigned in 1793.
Sharp political conflict developed, and two separate parties, the Federalists and the
Democratic-Republicans, began to form. Jefferson gradually assumed leadership of the
Republicans, who sympathized with the revolutionary cause in France. Attacking
Federalist policies, he opposed a strong centralized Government and championed the
rights of states.

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, attempting to name both a President and a Vice President from
their own party, cast a tie vote between Jefferson and Aaron Burr. The House of
Representatives settled the tie. Hamilton, disliking both Jefferson and Burr, nevertheless
urged Jeffersons election.

When Jefferson assumed the Presidency, the crisis in France had passed. He slashed
Army and Navy expenditures, cut the budget, eliminated the tax on whiskey so
unpopular in the West, yet reduced the national debt by a third. He also sent a naval
squadron to fight the Barbary pirates, who were harassing American commerce in the
Mediterranean. Further, although the Constitution made no provision for the acquisition
of new land, Jefferson suppressed his qualms over constitutionality when he had the
opportunity to acquire the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon in 1803.

During Jeffersons second term, he was increasingly preoccupied with keeping the
Nation from involvement in the Napoleonic wars, though both England and France
interfered with the neutral rights of American merchantmen. Jeffersons attempted
solution, an embargo upon American shipping, worked badly and was unpopular.

Jefferson retired to Monticello to ponder such projects as his grand designs for the
University of Virginia. A French nobleman observed that he had placed his house and his
mind on an elevated situation, from which he might contemplate the universe.
Jefferson wished to be remembered for 2 things, the Declaration of Independence and
the foundation of Virginia University.

Good luck, have a great study!
