Thomas Jefferson was well known for being extremely well-read and well-written. He was also known for not enjoying speaking, particularly public speaking. He believed the more you spoke, the more less likely you were to be sincere and capable of proper expression.

Jefferson was a scholar, an architect, a farmer, an inventor, and a statesman among a great many other things. He began his career as a lawyer, he served on the Continental Congress, drafted the Declaration of Independence, was Minister Plenopetentiary of France, the first Secretary of State under George Washington, the second Vice President under John Adams, and ultimately the third President of the United States.

Jefferson considered himself to be a theist, believing in God as outside reality not intervening in worldly affairs. He was a strong advocate for religious freedom, separation of church and state, natural law, natural aristocracy, and abolition of slavery.

Jefferson was heavily inspired by enlightenment thinkers and French culture, as well as European architecture and cuisine. He is reported to have been the first President to serve macaroni in the White House, then called the President's House. It is also said he popularized ice cream in America as well, bringing several recipes back from France.

Jefferson was known for the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, his time as Secretary of State, his opposition to Alexander Hamilton's banking system which led to the creation of his party, the Democratic-Republicans opposed to Hamilton's Federalists, creating America's two party system. He is Also credited for his handling of the Barbary War during his time in office, along with the Louisiana Purchase, which expanded the United States' territories.
