Why is Thomas Jefferson remembered?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson is remembered for many achievements in his public life. He had served as governor of Virginia, as U.S. minister to France, as secretary of state under George Washington, as vice-president in the administration of John Adams, and as President of the United States from 1801 to 1809. On his tombstone, however, which he designed and for which he wrote the inscription, there is no mention of these offices. Rather, it reads that Thomas Jefferson was "author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia" and, as he requested, "not a word more." Historians might want to add other accomplishments--for example, his distinction as an architect, naturalist, and linguist--but in the main they would concur with his own assessment

Answer 2

Well for starters, he doubled the size of our state. He also was the third president of the USA. He wrote the Declaration of Independence, he asked Meriwether Lewis to lead an expedition (1804 - 1806). He planned the designing of the University of Virgina, marked where it should be built, chose the books for the library, and hired the teachers all by himself. =) Hope you like my reply. First time answering. Enjoy!
