Thomas Jefferson

The Continental Congress created a draft committee consisting of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston, and Roger Sherman. However, the actual writing of the Declaration of Independence was performed by Jefferson alone.

The Planter Elite was the highest class of Southern society in the 1800s leading up to the Civil War. They were the minority of the population at the time, controlling 90% of the South's wealth through the ownership of various cotton plantations.

They just need to go West that was there job they need to explore the new land bought by Thomas Jefferson called the Louisiana Purchase.

He did many things, writing was probably his most important. Paine wrote The Case of The Officers of Excise, Common Sense, Rights of Man and many more. He served as a secretary, held interests in science, worked on an iron bridge and smokeless candle, sailed, was an excise officer, was in the Continental Army, and helped write a new constitution for France.

In both Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Because this was the first peacful transaction of political power between two parties. (Federalist and Antiferderalist)

established a Navy Department.

No. His first wife died before he entered political office- specifically the White House. He has a mistress, Sally Hanson, who was an emancipated Black Woman who had some educational travels in Paris. Books have been done on this romance. Jefferson was never married to Miss Hansen. I do not know if she was buried on the grounds of Monticello- or not.

Jefferson wanted small Federal Government, but larger State Governments. He didn't want the Federal Government to make all of the decisions, he wanted the states to focus on the people of that state instead of the Federal Government to control everything.

The quote is "We are all federalists; we are all republicans." Thomas Jefferson

purchasing land west of the Mississippi river and forcing native Americans to move west

who was the declaration of independence written by

Jefferson's views on slavery were contradictory: On one hand, Jefferson was morally opposed to slavery. He felt it was evil and wrong. His original draft of the Declaration of Independence condemned it in no uncertain terms. As Governor of Virginia, he proposed legislation to abolish it. On the other hand, despite his moral opposition though, he owned a significant number of slaves and even fathered children with one of his slaves, Sally Hemmings.

The Embargo Act of 1807 came about as a result of tension between the United States and both France and England. The Napoleonic Wars pitted France and England against each other, and both violated American neutrality at this time.

it was created by the continental congress

After the dissolution of the Federalist party, former federalists split into both Republicans and Democrats, but the majority became Republicans.

This document was created by the council that took control of France after the revolution, and was a collective work. Therefore it cannot be attributed to one single author.

Essentially it can be said that it was written by the revolutionaries who dethroned (and beheaded) Louis XVI.

Jefferson bought the land because he had thought there were much better natural resources. He also thought it could expand America, there would be better trade, better hunting and better land compared to the western side because of mountains.

By completing the Louisiana Purchase, Thomas Jefferson went against his own philosophy concerning anti-federalism and a strict interpretation of the Constitution, but felt that the purchase was necessary to avoid a potential future war with France who controlled the port in Louisiana. Jefferson thought the purchase would lead to a more agrarian society.

Additionally, he basically followed the line of thought exercised by Napoleon. Napoleon believed that in the coming European war, France would be unable to hold the port city of New Orleans from the British.

With the US now owning the City of New Orleans, Napoleon believed that the Americans were in a strategically stronger position to keep the British from taking control of this geo-politically important city.

A careful reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution clearly show a tone of solemnity and telltale merging of two metaphysical concepts, that of God (The Great Spirit) and freedom and individualism, so peculiar and unique to the Iroquois and later the proponents of the Revolutionary War. The tone and philosophical underpinnings of the founders

Lewis' and Clark's journals of the expedition describe the natural resources and native peoples of the West and contain information on many scientific matters. Over the two year journey, the expedition had made more discoveries of landscapes, rivers, native cultures, zoology, and botany of North America than any scientific expedition. Their results/contributions were many and lasting.

One of the most significant contributions of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was a better perception of the geography of the Northwest and the production of the first accurate maps of the area. During the journey, Lewis and Clark prepared approximately 140 maps.

A second achievement of the expedition was a better understanding of the country's natural resources. During the journey, they were able to find and categorize 122 new animals and 178 plants.

They brought back valuable scientific and geographic information.

They decreased the functions of the national government.

The issue was if federal or state governments should have more power.

The Continental Congress appointed the Committee of Five - composed of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, & Robert Livingston - to draft the Declaration of Independence. The committee, after discussing the general outline that the document should follow, decided that Jefferson would write the first draft. It may have been John Adams who suggested that Jefferson be the one to write the first draft. After completing the first draft, the committee read, discussed and revised the document before Jefferson prepared a new draft to be submitted to the entire congress. The entire congress then discussed, debated, and made a few changes to that draft to produce the version that is now famous.
