Thomas Jefferson, as a politician, released Fmr. President Adams' political prisoners, cut taxes, reduced government regulation, greatly expanded American land through the Louisiana Purchase, commissioned the first navy, and fought to end slavery in the Virginia State Legislature. He was also a states' rights activist.

Jefferson was one of the "Founding Fathers" of the USA, a contributor to the Constitution and the third president. No offence to my American friends but his historical importance is somewhat exaggerated. All nations make heroes out of their good men and women, and saints out of their heroes.
