This question calls for an opinion:

If Thomas Jefferson never lived, this country would not be the same as it is today. America would probably have never become America as we know it. It may have become Jeffersonia, or Washingtonia. We would most likely still be under the British rule, unless the Spanish Armada crushed them in that famous battle, as long as we're supposing to change the events of history, here. Our country could/would not be able to expand/evolve like it has today. Even if we did get our independence, America wouldn't be the size it is today, as Jefferson 'probably' wouldn't have succumbed to the French, and just let them keep Louisiana, not to mention the Northwest Territorial dispute-thing. Under Thomas Jefferson's leadership, the US bought the Louisiana Territory, making the country 'about' the size it is today. If Thomas Jefferson never lived, that would have never happened. If the Louisiana Territory was never purchased by America, the Lewis & Clark Expedition would never have happened, and John Colter wouldn't have 'discovered' the Yellowstone area. America would not have expanded as it has. Overall, if Thomas Jefferson never lived, this country would not be the same as it is today. We should all say 'Thanks!' to him for making this country like it is today, even though he can't hear us, because he is deader than a doornail.
