Thomas Jefferson helped the economy and helped to build the US of A on solid ground. he helped fight slavery.
He served in the Continental Congress, writing the Declaration of Independence. Later he helped write a new cinstitution for the newly independent state of Virginia. He served a governor of Virginia. During his term the war had shifted to the Carolinas. Jefferson arranged for much of Virginia's military strength to be sent south to aid General green in North Carolina. While Grenn's campaigns were untlimatelt successful, Virginia was left almost defenseless against a Britsh Invasion in 1781. This has brought Jefferson under strong crticism. There is some valididty to this, but on the other hand if Jefferson had withheld Virginia's aid from the national cause further south, the whole war mught have been lost in the Carolinas. Thus Jefferson may have been taking a calculated risk on the part of Virginia. It is hard to say at this remove.
