Autobiography Of Thomas Jefferson

In the reading of “The Autobiography of Thomas Jefferson”, he came across many obstacles to become e is known as today in history. Jefferson was born in 1743 on April 13th in Virginia, where he became a representative along with his relative later in life.

But just like any other person Jefferson ran into interactions and conflicts through life to continue to do what’s best. Jefferson ironically did not agree with conflicts or even being involved in any but at least he was on the good side and wanted what was best for Virginia, his family, and the people and citizens.
