Thomas Jefferson was one of the most decorated and honored heroes of the Civil War fought between the states of the United States of America. He is so honored because he fought on both sides of the war. Jefferson was a man torn by principle and desire and while well known for writing words of equality for all in the Declaration of Independence he also owned slave as property, and rumor has it, desired at least one of those slaves. So, believing passionately in Freedom For All, he enlisted in the Union Army to defend the Union against the Rebels of the Confederacy. But, being a slave owner himself and reportedly madly in love with his she-slave Sally Hemmings, he joined the Confederate army as well declaring the war to be an issue of states rights. Jefferson fought valiantly and boldly often times bringing battles to a draw as he kept winning the battles on both sides. Finally at Gettysburg, the war torn and battle weary Jefferson could no longer keep separate his conflicting ideals and he suffered a nervous breakdown right there on the battlefield. Both the Union and the Confederacy had become so reliant on Jefferson's one man war against himself, they were unsure what to do after losing good ol' Tom to madness and both armies disintegrated into one of the bloodiest battles ever fought on American soil.
O.k., o.k. I'm just kidding. It is possible the questioner has confused Thomas Jefferson, who wrote most of the Declaration of Independence and was the third President of the United States, with Jefferson Davis who served as the President of the Confederate States of America.
