Biography Of Thomas Jefferson

The American Thomas Jefferson was born on April 20, 1743, in Shadwell, Virginia. He attended Shadwell Elementary School before enrolling at the University of Virginia College where he graduated in 1776 with a Bachelor’s Degree after receiving his A from the Virginia Society for Almanac Entries in 1778. After graduating, Jefferson moved to Philadelphia, where he worked as a lawyer until he passed away in 1825 at age 90. However, according to his personal papers, Jefferson never married although he is known to have had four children (three sons and three daughters) that is the oldest being John Adams III in 1775-1780. In addition, Jefferson was a founding father of the United States and the fifth president of the United States of America. To this day, he remains one of the most renowned political figures in history having won many major positions in government. In the first two terms of the presidency, Jefferson served as the Vice President and Commander in Chief of the Continental Army during which time America faced several problems including Great Britain’s invasion of its colonies. He also held different positions such as Secretary of State in 1789 and Minister of War in 1789; these positions made him one of the key players in shaping American history.

On April 7, 1789, Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated at age 84 by an African American civil rights activist who wanted to achieve equality for American blacks in the country. A month later, Dr. King got arrested with the help of activists who were opposing segregation laws in 1963, which led to his death by self-imposed suicide. On August 28, 1835, American poet Walt Whitman died due to the consumption of alcohol after noticing that his poems were not well received but instead used racial slurs in them. This incident happened when he received his letter of resignation. Soon afterward, another poet, Robert Frost died at the same time because of heart disease. These incidents happened despite that they lived in different areas in the southern United States. On January 12, 1837, Senator William Rufus Francis died due to unknown reasons. Lastly, on April 8, 1837, Benjamin Franklin died due to pneumonia while serving a prison sentence after helping fight against slavery.

On July 4, 1838, James Monroe died at age 56 in New Orleans while helping form the new Constitution upon his death. During his service, the Louisiana Territory was captured by Spain. Also, George Washington died aged 76 on September 2, 1800, while playing an active role as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army after defeating France at Vicksburg. Later in his life, Alexander Hamilton died at age 74 on December 25, 1808, while helping unite the thirteen states of America at the Constitutional Convention. In general, Jefferson was responsible for making the Constitution after having been elected as a Member of the Federalist Party from April 7 to May 6, 1789. His main contributions during those years included proposing the Bill of Rights, proposing amendments to the Constitution, defending state governments, and introducing the bill of rights and other protections. His signature amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery which became the biggest turning point in American History. On October 9, 1827, Abraham Lincoln delivered the inaugural address to become the 46th president of the United States through the inauguration at Union Square. Before becoming the 44th president, Lincoln took office after serving as the Second Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1797. As a member of the Federalist party, Jefferson was a strong believer in limited government including federalism. According to historians, Jefferson's best achievement was passing the 13th Amendment which eliminated slavery in society. The 13th Amendment also created property rights, which changed the way people owned their land in the US. This was quite hard for conservatives during his time because it gave blacks more rights than whites. However, during his time in office, Jefferson helped abolish slavery in the nation and was an advocate for equal rights for all Americans. When he was elected as the 45th president of the U.S., he declared his goal of achieving “Equal justice before the law”. At the end of the 19th century, he also made significant contributions to fighting against racism in the country. In conclusion, despite being born into a poor family, Jefferson proved that he was a good leader in forming the Constitution and abolishing slavery. Although, he did have several challenges, including the nullification of Congress during his second term as the president, Jefferson still proved himself that he was a great leader in the development of our country. Today, we celebrate the birthday of Thomas Jefferson as it will be a national holiday.
