History

Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743. In addition to all his accomplishments, he was also the 3rd American president from 1801 to 1809.

It is difficult to overestimate Jefferson’s contribution to America. He was a gifted writer, horticulturist, inventor, and scientist. He also participated in archaeological excavations. Thanks to Thomas, one of America’s finest educational institutions today, the University of Virginia, was founded. This man was an ardent supporter of the Republicans. His aspirations for independence and complete secession from Great Britain allowed America to become a free, independent, and great country!
