He stopped the importation of slaves, handpicked Lewis and Clark for their exhibition, reduced the country's debt by a third, wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Louisiana Purchase, the war with the Barbary Pirates, and many more. He was the first president to increase state rights and American liberty. The Louisiana Purchase was a huge success; in it we gained vast territory for America from Napoleon, and helped to increase westward expansion and trade success. He kept the nation at peace. He brought back the idea of the Declaration of Independence and liberty. Liberty rather than order.
He had an extremely successful first term in presidency. Some say his second term was ruined when he passed the Embargo Act of 1807 because it hurt the United States more than any other country. The Federalist Party was revived as a result.
