Although he was inspiring Jefferson was not a great speaker?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson, while an influential figure and a compelling writer, was not known for his oratory skills. His speeches often lacked the charisma and delivery that characterized great public speakers of his time. Instead, Jefferson preferred to communicate through written correspondence and documents, like the Declaration of Independence, where his ideas could be carefully crafted and articulated. This reliance on the written word sometimes overshadowed his ability to engage audiences verbally.
