Thomas Jefferson

Introduction Thomas Jefferson spent most of his career in public office and made his greatest contributions to his country in the field of politics. He loved liberty in every form, and he worked for freedom of speech, press, religion, and other civil liberties. Jefferson was the 3rd president of the United States and best remembered as a great president and as the author of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson's interests and talents covered an amazing range. He became one of the leading American architects of his time and designed the Virginia Capital, the University of Virginia, and his own home, Monticello.

(page 147) Jefferson was also a substantial leader in the American Revolution. (page 26-47) Thomas Jefferson had huge confidence in himself and knew that America was destined for great things and that he had to do his part in helping the country to become a great nation. My perception has changed substantially since I began reading Thomas Jefferson. When I started the book all I knew was that Thomas Jefferson had been a former president and that he had wrote the Declaration of Independence. After having read this book, I now have more insight into Thomas Jefferson and the American history.

France’s brilliant move gave them a spot as the 5th great power of Europe. On March 1, 1815, Napoleon returned from Elba, whereupon he was promptly declared an outlaw. At the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815, General Wellington and the Prussian Field Marshal von Blucher defeated Napoleon; he was again forced into exile, this time on Saint Helena (off the coast of Africa). The Quadruple Alliance remained an unprecedented peace-making coalition, and the Vienna Settlement resolved all of the goals of the Congress. Treaties became made between states, not monarchs, and the Settlement remained intact for almost half of a century and prevented war for nearly 100 years.
