{$}Thomas Jefferson: What The American Revolution Is Now, Why It was A LieThe American Revolution was supposedly an anti-imperialist protest, and it was based on the famous quote: “There were some, men, women, and children who thought that by doing a war against slavery it would save the world.” This is not true, it was an anti-imperialist protest, and its proponents did not believe in a free government of the United States. It was based on a Declaration of Independence (and The Union of Great Britain, which Thomas Jefferson took part in), the Constitution of 1776, the American Constitution, and several popular documents. In sum, Thomas Jefferson had a real understanding of the concept of empire and how to do it. Thomas Jefferson was the greatest and most successful American to have ever founded a democracy; and we have all a great deal of wisdom and experience in determining which things have the most, and which do not. Thomas Jefferson: What was his First President?Thomas Jefferson, who was at one time a writer for the New York Times and was also a lawyer, became known for his intellectual prowess in the 1860’s. However, for a moment he was no better. At the end of 1870, when he was about 22years old, he died in an automobile accident at the age of 26 while writing The American Revolution. He was succeeded by a young Thomas Jefferson, and is remembered as being a great American and a great American patriot who never had to contend with racism, for the Constitution was a form of imperialism not just made by a new government (and, therefore, an unjust one), but also a government that had been created for slave owners and exploited millions of people. (William E. Clueley and George A. Lincoln, ‘The Declaration of Independence,’ National History Review, February 2, 1876, pp. 30–31). Thomas Jefferson: Where To Find The Complete Document Thomas Jefferson: A Free Speech Document The American Revolution was an opposition to government tyranny, and, when it was overthrown, was a demonstration of this opposition. It also was made very clear when Thomas Jefferson spoke on behalf of the American people: “No government is more powerful than one set of people, and each is made to equal his people.” The American Revolution and its aftermath (and the subsequent political failures that followed) made this clear: “There ought to be no fear of despotism more powerful than in the land. The British governments were not a kind-hearted nation, and could not stand their first blood, until their king was made dictator. The British people should not have feared, that any man made a tyrant would be brought to justice by his own people: he deserved it to be done in the best manner, as far as he could obtain it. The Constitution was designed to restrain tyranny, so as to keep the people and the government stable. The whole of our constitutional government is composed of men who are perfectly free from government tyranny–an equality that was well established by the early days of our free republic.” Thomas Jefferson: Who Will Be the First President Of The United StatesIn his first year as President Thomas Jefferson had worked tirelessly for the cause, and his government was made to be in its very best, and with absolute most trust and trust in God and the people. However, he did not realize that when he was sworn in as President James Monroe came to Monroe the very day he was sworn at the top of his tower. He wrote to the President, but in writing in the year 1677, he declared that he was no longer a loyal candidate; “I do not see how that makes my life any better,” he wrote in his diary, “nor can anyone justify doing anything. We have an interest in our country and should cherish it, so I don’t see how I can be anything other than a loyal friend. God has never said that anything like our state shall be found in England, as it

Biography:Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 at Shadwell, Virginia. His mother was Jane Randolph Jefferson; his father was a landowner name Peter Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson attended College (1760-62) of William and Mary. In 1769 he began six years of service as a representative in the Virginia House of Burgesses. In 1770 he begun building Monticello on the land he inherited from his father. It took years to build it, but according to an Internet article BriefJefferson, when he married Martha Wayles Skelton on January 1, 1772 part of the Monticello mansion was ready to be lived in. Mr.
and Mrs. Jefferson produced six children, but only two survived to adulthood and four were deceased during their childhood. (Brief…Jefferson, 2005). In 1776 he was chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence, “which has been regarded ever since as a charter of American and universal liberties” (Brief…Jefferson, 2005). The same year he also left Congress, he returned to Virginia and served in the legislature, and was elected governor from 1779-81. In 1874, in France he entered public service again, “first as trade commissioner an then as Benjamin Franklins successor as minister” (Brief…Jefferson, 2005). According to Brief…Biography article, in 1790 Jefferson accepted the post of secretary of state under his friend George Washington. In 1794, he defeated Adams for president of the United States, and the first notable achievements of his term as president were the purchased of Louisiana Purchased Territory in 1803 and of course his support of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In his second term, he had a difficult times dealing with both the domestic and foreign fronts; there were conflicts between Britain and France, and his effort did not stop the war with Britain in 1812.
His fried James Madison succeeded Jefferson as president in 1809, and during the last seventeen years of his life, he stayed at his mansion, Monticello. Just hours before his close friend Adam was to signing the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826. As he also wished that his
tombstone reflects the things that he had given the people, not the people that had given to him.HERE WAS BURIEDTHOMAS JEFFERSONAUTHOR OF THEDECLARATIONOF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCEOF THESTATUTE OF VIRGINIARELIGIOUS FREEDOMAND FATHER OF THEUNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIABORN APRIL 2. 1743. O.S.DIED JULY 4. 1826Declaration of Independence:In 1776, since Jefferson was a member of Continental Congress, he was chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence, since he was a member of Continental Congress. (Brief…Jefferson, 2005). Looking back in High School, the class discussion about The Declaration of Independence was that Jefferson predicted the coming of great changes in America within the times that he lived in. He wrote this document for the American Citizens at the time, and it still exists today. The Declaration personified many of the ideas that separated the colonies from England and therefore the process of creating a new country begun.
The Declaration of Independence started talking about human events, political bands, and power. On the first sentence or opening statement. “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people…to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal God entitle them,” (Jefferson, 414). The next sentence is my favorite one and I am sure it is a well-known phrase “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” (Jefferson, 414). On the footnote of this sentence it was John Lockes ideas, where he identified natural rights as those to “Life, Liberty, and estates, which he meant “Property.” The document also mentioned that any kind of Government becomes destructive of these ends, People have the right to abolish it, and rights to form new Government. This is what Jefferson and the other writers of the Declaration wants. On this document Jefferson also mentioned “He,” and he was referring to the King of the British Parliament (George III), at least thats what I got from it. On page 415 “He,” was mentioned so many times, “He has called together legislative…his measures—He has dissolved…of the people.—He has endeavored to prevent…of
